The following graph depicts a firm's production relationship, showing the total quantity of goods produced per day (vertical axis) based on the number of employees hired (horizontal axis). The amount of capital, such as machinery and factory space, is held constant. The curve on the graph starts at the origin (0,0), rises, and becomes progressively flatter as more employees are added. Which statement accurately analyzes the production relationship shown in the graph?

A software development company is working on a project with a fixed amount of equipment and office space. The project manager wants to maximize the team's weekly output. The table below shows the relationship between the number of developers assigned and the number of software features completed per week.

A manufacturing firm observes its output as it varies the number of workers, keeping its factory size and machinery constant. Match each production concept to its correct description in this context.
A company doubles its workforce while keeping its factory size and machinery the same. As a result, the company's total output will also exactly double.
A coffee shop operates with a fixed number of espresso machines. As it hires more baristas, the total number of coffees made per hour increases. Initially, each new barista adds a large number of coffees to the total output. However, after a certain point, due to crowding and waiting for machines, each additional barista contributes progressively fewer coffees than the one before. Which of the following graphs best represents the relationship between the number of baristas (horizontal axis) and the total coffees produced per hour (vertical axis)?
