2. Inputs and outputs Valerie's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Denver that sells gluten-free pizzas. Valerie's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the four ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Valerie signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the four ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Valerie's kitchen cannot fit more than four ovens, Valerie cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run However, Valerie's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Valerie lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are_fixed Inputs. variable Valerie's daily production schedule is presented in the following table. fixed FW in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker.
