4. Graphing demand for labor and computing the optimal quantity A company operates in a perfectly competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $10 and paying the market wage of $130 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) at each quantity of workers. Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) 0 0 15 1 15 14 2 29 12 3 41 10 4 51 6 5 57 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. Line segments will automatically connect the points. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the…
13. Identify which way the labor supply curve would shift under the following scenarios. A country experiences a huge influx of immigrants who are skilled in the textile industry. Wages increase in an industry that requires similar job skills. New machines require additional maintenance over time, so that the marginal productivity of labor rises.
16. As more and more of the factor of production is used The total product curve rises rapidly at first because product rises and then more slowly because a. Permanent; average; the average product decreases b. Variable; average; average product reaches a maximum c. Permanent; marginal; marginal product reaches a maximum d. variable, borderline; marginal product decreases
