Since more laborers are using the same, fixed amount of capital, it is possible that they could get in each other’s way, decreasing efficiency and the amount of output. Many firms also have to control the quality of output and the high congestion of labor may produce output that is not of a high enough quality to be offered for sale, which can contribute to a negative marginal product. 3.

A political campaign manager has to decide whether to emphasize television advertisements or letters to potential voters in a reelection campaign. Describe the production function for campaign votes. How might information about this function (such as the shape of the isoquants) help the campaign manager to plan strategy? The output of concern to the campaign manager is the number of votes. The production function uses two inputs, television advertising and direct mail. The use of these inputs requires knowledge of the substitution possibilities between them. If the inputs are perfect substitutes, the resultant isoquants are line segments, and the campaign manager will use only one input based on the relative
