Table 14.11 shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product at each of those levels, and a monopolys marginal revenue. What is the monopolys marginal revenue product at each level of employment? If the monopoly operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is 20, what is the films profit maximizing level of employment?
Other than the demand for labor, what would be another example of a 'derived demand?
What is the marginal cost of labor for a firm that operates in a competitive labor market? How does this compare with the MCL for a monopsony?
What are some of the most important laws that protect employee right?
What is a monopsony?
To maximize profits, a firm uses a fixed amount of capital and varying amounts of labour inits production processes to produce commodity Y. The output fetches Kshs 3 in the market andthe firm’s production is as summarized.Number of workers Output per hour0 01 92 173 244 305 356 397 428 44 Required;i.Calculate the marginal product of labour for this firm and the value of the marginal productof labour and the Marginal Revenueii.Suppose that the competitive wage for workers who can make Product Y is Ksh16 perhour. How many workers should this firm hire and why?
