A Feasible Point on Angela's Frontier (19h Free Time, 37 Bushels)
A specific point on Angela's feasible frontier can be illustrated with an example. If Angela works for five hours, her production function indicates she can produce 37 bushels of grain. This work time corresponds to 19 hours of free time. Therefore, the combination of 19 hours of free time and 37 bushels of grain represents one feasible point on her frontier.

Angela's Production Function and the Unit 1 Agricultural Production Function
A farmer's production technology shows that as she increases her daily hours of work, her total grain output rises. However, she notices that the tenth hour of work adds less grain to her total harvest than the ninth hour did. What does this observation imply about the shape of her production function?

Evaluating a Policy to Increase Farm Labor
Imagine a production function graph for a farmer, with 'Hours of Work' on the horizontal axis and 'Total Grain Output' on the vertical axis. The curve starts at the origin, rises steeply at first, and then becomes progressively flatter as hours of work increase. Three points are marked on this curve: Point A is at a low number of work hours where the curve is steep, Point B is in the middle section where the curve is less steep, and Point C is at a high number of work hours where the curve is nearly flat. Match each description of productivity to the point on the curve it best represents.
A production function that is concave (bowed downwards) indicates that for a given production technology, each additional unit of input, such as an hour of labor, results in a progressively smaller increase in total output.
Analyzing a Farmer's Production Data
A production function that is concave, meaning it becomes progressively flatter as the amount of an input like labor increases, illustrates the economic principle of ________ ________ ________.
A farmer's daily grain output varies with the number of hours worked, as shown in the scenarios below. Arrange these scenarios in order from the one with the HIGHEST average grain output per hour of work to the one with the LOWEST.

A freelance writer has a total of 16 hours available for work and leisure. When the writer works for 6 hours, they can complete exactly 1,500 words of an article, which is the maximum possible for that duration. Based on this information, a combination of 10 hours of leisure and an output of 1,400 words represents an efficient outcome for the writer.
