2. Graphing demand for labor and computing the optimal quantity of labor demanded A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $330 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Value of the Marginal Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) 20 1. 20 19 2 39 18 57 15 72 12 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm s labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first…

Consider the housing construction industry. Assume that the industry is perfectly competitive in both input and output markets. Suppose that, through collective bargaining, a labor union negotiates an industry-wide wage for various kinds of labor (electricians, plumbers, and so on). In particular, it succeeds in negotiating a wage increase for carpenters from $15 to $20 per hour. The following graph shows the labor demand of an individual firm. On the following graph, show what happens at the firm level as a result of the union negotiations. WAGE RATE (Dollars per hour) 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 20 40 60 80 Demand Supply 100 120 QUANTITY OF LABOR (Number of workers) Now consider the effects of the wage change on the entire industry. Demand Supply ? Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.

Based on the above table, how much is the marginal product (MPL) of the 3rd labor? 2. Based on the above table, which labor has the largest marginal product?
A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $270 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Marginal Product of Value of the Marginal Product Labor Labor Output (Units of output) of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Dollars) 20 1 20 19 2 39 18 3 57 15 72 12 5 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway…
The paper factory employs 470470 workers, producing 1,3001,300 tons of paper per month. Hiring 2020 more workers will increase the output by 5050 tons of paper.Calculate the total product for the next additional 2020 workers if their marginal product is 1010 tons of paper per month. Enter your answer in the box below and round to the nearest whole number if necessary.
