Calculate the Marginal Product (MP) at each input level. If the price of printer is $100 each, calculate the Value of the Marginal of labor (VMPL). If the wage rate (per week) is $1800 , how many workers will be employed? If  the firm decides to hire 14 workers, what is the maximum wage the firm would be willing to pay?

Edie chooses to work 90 hours per week when the wage rate is $16 per hour. If she is offered time-and-a-half ($24 per hour) for “overtime work” (i.e., hours in excess of 90 per week), will she choose to work longer hours? Support your results with a diagram.

If the marginal product of labor is 50 per day, and if the market is $4.50, calculate the marginal revenue product.

Assume a firm is trying to produce q0 units of output at the lowest total cost. The wage decreases, rotating the isocost line as shown in the below graph. Make the necessary changes to the graph to show the input combination that will now produce q0 at the lowest total cost. Make sure you show the new levels of labor and capital.

One of these four answers could cause the demand curve for labor to shift to the right. Which one? Group of answer choices a decrease in the firm's product price an increase in demand for the firm's product a decrease in labor productivity an increase in the wage rate

I    Collado Lumber Company is producing tons of lumber per day.    The following table is the costs of production.    The managers currently have six machines.    The price of output is $5 per unit.   The wage of the worker is $55 per worker.  From economic theory, we know that the value of the marginal product is price times the marginal product of labor. According to economic theory, a worker should be hired if the value of the marginal product is greater than the marginal cost of hiring a worker.   See the table below.   Number of machines Number of workers Output The marginal product of labor VMP Wage Marginal cost of hiring an additional worker 6 0 0 xxx xxx $55.00 xxx 6 1 2 2 $10.00 $55.00 $55.00 6 2 14 12 $60.00 $55.00 $55.00 6 3 30 16 $80.00 $55.00 $55.00 6 4 42 12 $60.00 $55.00 $55.00 6 5 50 8 $40.00 $55.00 $55.00 6 6 56 6 $30.00 $55.00 $55.00 6…

An economic downturn has caused the labor demand to decrease from DO to D1. In the short-run what will be the new wage and level of employment? Wage Rate 40 35 30 ($) 25 20 20 15 10 DO 5 D1 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Quantity of Labor (Q)

Will decrea n he fong run, assume a firm uses both labor and capital to produce 25 units of output. The marginal product of the last unit of labor being employed is 100; the marginal product of the last unit of capital being employed is 500. The wage rate of labor is $10. If the firm is minimizing the cost of producing 25 units of output, what must be the unit price of capital?

If the marginal product of labor increases because of a technological advancement, it will likely cause a fall in the number of workers employed. an increase in the price of output produced by labor. a fall in the wage paid to labor. an increase in demand for labor. an increase in the supply of labor.
