Answer
Option D
Marginal revenue product =output of last labor * price =8*10=$80
wage=18=marginal factor cost
Marginal factor profit=MRP-MFC
=80-18
=$62
the last labor adds $62 to the profit so the firm should hire more labors as the firm should hire up to the marginal factor profit is zero.
Add Answer to:
58) If the last hour of labour, hired for $18, produces 8 units of output selling...

A firm is using 500 units of labor and 100 units of capital to produce 100 units of output. The price of labor is $5 per unit and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At these input levels, another unit of labor adds 50 units of output, while another unit of capital adds 400 units of output. The firm could increase output by ( include explanation please ) a. 10 units by spending $1 more on capital and...
