- 8. In a perfectly competitive labour market, firms are wage takers and the marginal cost of labour equals: A. The average cost of labour B. The marginal product of labour C. The marginal revenue D. The total cost of labour11. Fresh Veggie is one of many small farms in Florida operating in a perfectly competitive market. Farm labor is also perfectly competitive, and Fresh Veggie can hire as many workers as it wants for $20 a day. The daily productivity of a tomato picker is given in the table. If a bushel of tomatoes sells for $6, how many workers will Fresh Veggie hire? Also, fill in MP of Labor and VMPL columns.A perfect competitor charges a price of $30. The first worker he would hire would have a marginal physical product of 20, the second worker he would hire would have a marginal physical product of 18, the third worker would have a marginal physical product of 16, and the fourth worker would have a marginal physical product of 14. (a) How many workers would he hire if the wage rate were $540? worker(s) hired How much would his wage bill be? $ wage bill (b) How many workers would he hire if the wage rate were $470? worker(s) hired How much would his wage bill come to? $ wage bill.
- 15) In a competitive labour market, firms will hire labour up to the point where themarginal revenue product of labour equals(a) total labour cost.(b) the wage rate.(c) the marginal product.(d) the price of the product.Question 16 When is it not in the best interest of a company to hire additional workers in the short run? when the average product of labor is decreasing when the firm is in Stage II of the production process when the marginal revenue product equals zero when the wage rate is equal to or greater than labor's marginal revenue product13. Identify which way the labor supply curve would shift under the following scenarios. A country experiences a huge influx of immigrants who are skilled in the textile industry. Wages increase in an industry that requires similar job skills. New machines require additional maintenance over time, so that the marginal productivity of labor rises.

Increasing marginal returns: a)end when the fourth worker is hired. b)occur at all levels of employment. c)occur as long as output increases. d)end when the second worker is hired. e)never occur.1.The hiring of labour with fixed factor of production under short run after sometimes leads to increase in cost only. What’s your opinion at what stage of production producer should make addition in labour, identify which concept in economics explains the whole situation, justify your answer why it happens with the help of table and diagrams.A firm produces good Y with just 2 factors: Capital which is fixed in supply and labour which is variable. Identify the stages of production in the diagram and explain why the firm still hire labour even though it is in the range of diminishing returns. What is the number of workers after which diminishing marginal returns starts? Is this a short run or long run phenomenon?

- A. Explain, with the aid of a graph, the equilibrium position of a firm operating in a perfectly competitive labour market.(Note: do the graph and the explanation) B. The market demand for labour is the sum of all the individual firms’ demand curves.Identify four factors that can cause the market demand curve to shift. C. Why are labour markets imperfect? Give five reasonsFrom the table below, what can you infer is the market price in dollars of the product? (# of Labor inputworkers) Total product(# of goods) Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRPL) 0 0 - - 1 12 12 $24 2 21 9 $18 3 28 7 $14 4 32 4 $8 5 35 3 $6Having a marginal product of labor that increases over low levels of employment is common in this situation. Why is that? a) The first workers a firm hires are just better workers than workers hired later on- they applied first and really want the job. B) often it has to do with specialization- workers are able to divide up tasks and be more productive. Is the answer a or b?
