For relatively risk-free firms, it should be nearly the same as the interest rate on risk-free government bonds.

Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster 11 of 28 The Behavior of Profit-Maximizing Firms The Bases of Decisions: Market Price of Outputs, Available Technology, and Input Prices In the language of economics, I need to know three things: 1. The market price of output 2. The techniques of production that are available 3. The prices of inputs Output price determines potential revenues. The techniques available tell me how much of each input I need, and input prices tell me how much they will cost. Together, the available production techniques and the prices of inputs determine costs.

In Figure 7.3(a), total product (sandwiches) is graphed as a function of labor inputs. The marginal product of labor is the additional output that one additional unit of labor produces. Figure 7.3(b) shows that the marginal product of the second unit of labor at the sandwich shop is 15 units of output; the marginal product of the fourth unit of labor is 5 units of output.

Diminishing returns always apply in the short run, and in the short run every firm will face diminishing returns. This means that every firm finds it progressively more difficult to increase its output as it approaches capacity production. Marginal Product and the Law of Diminishing Returns
