Suppose that the market wage for strawberry pickers is $100 per worker per day, and the price of strawberries is $18 per kilogram.
On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Live Happley's labour demand curve when the output price is $18 per kilogram.
Note: Remember to plot each point between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the marginal revenue
product of labour 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.

LABOUR (Number of workers)

At the given wage and price level, Live Happley should hire
2, 3, 4, or 5 workers
Suppose that the price of strawberries decreases to $14 per kilogram, but the wage rate remains at $100.
On the previous graph, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot Live Happley's labour demand curve when the output price is $14 per kilogram.

Now Live Happley should hire Workers
when the output price is $14 per kilogram.
Assuming that all strawberry-producing firms have similar production schedules, a decrease in the price of strawberries will cause the
demand for strawberry pickers to decrease

Suppose that wages decrease to $90 due to a decreased demand for workers in this market. Assuming that the price of strawberries remains at $14
per kilogram, Live Happley will now hire 1,2,3,4,5 workers
