Question

You are the manager of a firm producing green chalk. The marginal product of labor is:

MPL = 24L- 1/2
Suppose that the firm is a competitor in the green chalk market. The price of green chalk is $1 per unit. Further suppose that the firm is a competitor in the labor market. The wage rate is $12.00 per hour.

Given the information, what is the revenue product of labor?

Answer 1

24L^- 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Marginal product of labor is

MPL = 24L^- 1/2

Power sign is not given in the question so we considered it

The price of green chalk= $1 per unit

The wage rate = $12 per hour

By considering the above information, the revenue product of labor would be

= 24L^- 1/2

= Price of green chalk × 24L^- 1/2

= $1 × 24L^- 1/2

= 24L^- 1/2
