2. Gaping demaniu ivi avui diu computing time optimai quantity
Consider a company operating in a competitive market. The company sells units of output and receives a price of $20 per unit, and pays a daily
market wage of $330 to each worker it employs.
In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers.

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 between 0 and 1. Line segments will
automatically connect the points.
