The table above provides three critical production output factors: number of workers, the marginal product of labor, and the price of the output (in a perfectly competitive market). Using this information, plot the labor demand curve.

A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $270 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Marginal Product of Value of the Marginal Product Labor Labor Output (Units of output) of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Dollars) 20 1 20 19 2 39 18 3 57 15 72 12 5 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway…

A state funded report in Florida brings media attention to the wage gap between landscapers and childcare workers. Whereas childcare workers are largely female, landscapers are largely male. The state passes comparable worth legislation to bring this wage discrepancy into balance. The graph represents the market for childcare workers.
