To determine

Describe the equality of marginal revenue product and value marginal product.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The marginal revenue product (MRP) shows the market value of the product, and the value marginal product (VMP) shows the firms’ revenue by adding an additional unit of labor. When MRP is equal to VMP, it implies that the market is a competitive one. In the case of a perfect competitive market, an extra laborer will not be hired by the firm at the point where MRP is equal to VMP.

Economics Concept Introduction
