You run a factory that uses pottery wheels to make pots. You can hire anywhere between 1 and 3 skilled artisans (workers), and you can rent 1 or 2 pottery wheels (machines). Pots sell for $125 each. The total product of your factory is shown in the following table. Number of Machines (Capital, K) 1 Pottery wheels are 2 1 8 10 Number of Workers (Labor, L) 2 11 14 3 13 17 Suppose you rent one machine and hire one worker. You would be willing to pay $ to hire a 2nd worker. (Consider the value of the marginal product of labor.) Suppose you rent one machine and hire one worker. You would be willing to pay a rental rate of up to $ Suppose the wage is $350. If you have one pottery wheel, the number of workers you would want to hire is to acquire a 2nd machine. (Consider the value of the marginal product of capital.)
