Suppose the production function for T-shirts can be represented as q = L0.25 K0.75. Show that the marginal productivity of labor diminishes in the short run

What will be an ideal response?

In the short run, MPL = 0.25 ? (q/L). The change in MP with respect to L equals d(MP)/dL = -0.25 ? q/L2. Thus for all levels of labor hired, MP falls as L increases.
