Consider a perfectly competitive firm that uses labor as an input. The firm faces a market price of $10 for each unit of its output. The total product, and the marginal product of labor that the firm receives from hiring 1 to 5 workers are reported in the table below. What is the value of the marginal product of labor (VMP) for the first worker? Value of the Marginal Product of Labor Labor input (# workers) Total product (# goods) Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) 1 17 18 13 |22 4 25 3 26 Provide your answer below:
The following table shows different numbers of workers hired by Jedi Star, a competitive firm producing light-sabers, and corresponding levels: output. Suppose that Jedi Star sells its product at $1,000 per light-saber and hires its workers in a competitive labor market paying the same rate of $6,000 to all workers. Total Product Number of light-saber (Number of light-sabers per makers 0 1 day) Complete the following table by calculating Jedi Star's marginal product, marginal revenue product, and marginal profit.

Which of the following can reduce the marginal revenue product of labor? Select one: a. A reduction in the demand for firms– products. b. A reduction in workers– supply of labor to firms. c. A decrease in firms– demand for inputs that substitute for labor. d. An increase in the extra output firms gain from adding another unit of labor.
Eva runs a small bakery in the village of Roggerli. She is debating whether she should extend her hours of operation. Eva figures that her sales revenue will depend on the number of additional hours the bakery is open as shown in the table above. She would have to hire a worker for those hours at a wage rate of $12 per hour. Refer to Table 1-1. Using marginal analysis, how many hours should Eva extend her bakery's hours of operations? 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours
Consider the Labor Economics Question. This will provide insight into the idea of the optimal number of workers and the value of the marginal product of labor. If wages in the restaurant is $20.00 per hour and the price of a Hamburger is $8.00 and the production function for the workers is: Q = 11L – 0.25L^2 a. How many workers should Your Restaurant employ during the lunch hour to maximize profits? 1 Point (note—the value of the marginal product of labor and the marginal revenue product are the same) We maximize profits which are total revenues less total costs: b. Compute the maximum profit at Your Restaurant. (note—consider that profit involves Total Revenue and Total Costs). 1 Point c. Compute the profit created if You hire an additional worker. Explain why it is or is not profit maximizing to hire an additional worker. The idea of this question is to recognize that we can find the profit maximizing quantity of labor– after that point, profit begins to…
Microeconomics II is the most fun course you ever took. Explain? A profit-maximizing competitive firm uses just one input, x. Its production function is q= 4(x)^1/2. The price of out-put is $28 and the factor price is $7. The amount of the factor that the firm demands is?
A,B, and C
Suppose Ramone's Drones maximizes profits by making local deliveries using small drones and centrally located pilots to control the drones remotely. In the markets for pilots and drones, neither side has any market power - that is, they are both competitive markets. A) If drones cost Ramone $1000 each to hire, what is the marginal revenue product (MRPK) of drones? B)If pilots can be hired at a cost of $300 per day, what is the marginal revenue product (MRPL) of the pilots?

Consider the Labor Economics Question. This will provide insight into the idea of the optimal number of workers and the value of the marginal product of labor. If wages in the restaurant is $16.80 per hour and the price of a Hamburger is $8.30 and the production function for the workers is: Q = 11L – 0.25L2 How many workers should Your Restaurant employ during the lunch hour to maximize profits? 1 Point (note—the value of the marginal product of labor and the marginal revenue product are the same) We maximize profits which are total revenues less total costs:
