Calculate the Marginal Product of Labor
Y=ALαK1-α
A= 1.5
α= 0.5
L=Labor
K= Capital
Factor Markets:
Labor Supply (L^S)= 100
Labor Demand (L^D)= 200-5(W/P)
Supply of Capital (K^S) = 100
Demand for Capital (K^D)= 200-4(R/P)
(W/P)= real wage rate
(R/P)= real rental rate
As the productivity of labor rises, so will the demand for labor.
