Quantity of Labor Total Product Total Revenue 1 4 $16 2 8 32 3 11 44 4 13 52 5 14 56 Refer to the given data. If the market wage rate is $8, this firm will employ Multiple Choice 4 workers. 5 workers. 2 workers. 3 workers.
Firm will employ workers untill marginal revenue that is increase in revenue is more than or equal to wage rate.
When 4th employee is employed , revenue increased by $8 and wage rate is also $8. So there is no loss.
But when 5th worker was employed , increase in revenue is only $4 ($56 - $52) but increase in wage is $8. So it's less than the wage rate. So 5th worker should not be employed.
Hence 4 workers will be employed.
Answer is option A 4 workers.
