A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $30 and paying the market wage of $285 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Value of the Marginal Product of Labor |(Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) 16 16 15 2 31 14 45 11 4 56 5 64 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. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.)

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. (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 value of
the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway between 0 and 1. Line segments will
automatically connect the points.
