Answer to Question 1

The profit maximizing quantity of labor to employ exists at that quantity where the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) equals the wage rate (W). The MRP equals the marginal product of labor multiplied by the price of the output produced. This information as well as the wage is required to decide the optimal number of workers to employ. If the MRP > W then employ more workers until they're equal.

Answer to Question 2

False
