Consider Blewitt's Farm, a small blueberry grower relative to the size of the market whose production has no impact on wages and prices. The
following table presents Blewitt's production schedule for blueberries:

Suppose that the market wage for blueberry pickers is $200 per worker per day, and the price of blueberries is $13 per pound.

On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Blewitt's labor demand curve when the output price is $13 per pound.
Note: Remember to plot each point between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the
marginal product of for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway between 0 and 1. Line segments will
