Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1P
To determine
The marginal product and the marginal revenue product of labor is to be completed in the table.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Marginal product of labor is the change in total labor due to an addition of one more unit of labor.
Initial labor is q1 and initial output is Q1
So, the increase in labor by one more unit is q1+1 and the output is increased to Q2. So the marginal product of labor will be equal to MP = Q2- Q1
Marginal revenue = MPXP
The table will be completed using the above equations.
Quantity of labor (q) | Total Output(Q) | Marginal product of labor (MP) | Marginal revenue product of laborMRP = MP X $4 |
0 | |||
1 | 250 | 250 | $1000 |
2 | 600 | 350 | $1400 |
3 | 900 | 300 | $1200 |
4 | 1125 | 225 | $900 |
5 | 1300 | 175 | $700 |
6 | 1450 | 150 | $600 |
