Andy’s Beach Gear rents snorkels for $10 each. From past experience Andy knows how many rentals his workers can do, which is shown in the table below. Workers No. of Rentals 1 100 2 130 3 155 4 175 5 190 6 200 7 205 In the third column, calculate the MPL (marginal product of labor) for each worker. In the fourth column, calculate the VMPL (value of marginal product of labor) for each worker. At a wage of $150, how many workers should Andy hire? Calculate the average product of labor when Andy employs five workers? Using the data in the table construct a labor demand curve for Andy’s Beach Gear.
Suppose that labor is the only input used by East West University. The price of a cheakup is BDT 200 and the equilibrium wage of dentist (labor) is BDT 1000. The table below shows the dentists total product schedule. Quantity of dentists -------------- Quantity of chekups 0 0 2 20 6 40 16 70 a) Draw a table to present the marginal product of labor (MPL) for each dentist and the value of the marginal product of labor (vMPL) per dentist. b) How many dentist should be hired to maximize profit and how many chekups can be produced?
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?
Imagine a firm that employs two types of workers – some with computer skills and others withno technology related skills. (i) Explain how a firm’s production function is related to its marginal product of labour, howa firm’s marginal product of labour is related to the value of its marginal product and how afirm’s value of marginal product is related to its demand for labour. (ii) Explain how the wage can adjust to balance the supply and demand for labour whilesimultaneously equalling the value of the marginal product of labour.
