Scenario: Victoria Corp. makes running shoes by employing a robotics technology that requires at most a few, but highly skilled, workers for monitoring and maintenance of the robots. Each robot costs $240,000. The table shows the marginal product of capital (MPK) per month when the firm employs one worker versus when it employs two workers.

Here, the highest utility is reached at the consumption of the 3rd piece, beyond whichthe total declined. This is a…
