Answer to Question 1

The poverty rate is lowest among white households. About 8.5 percent of white households live in poverty whereas about 22 percent of Hispanic and 25 percent of black households live in poverty.

Answer to Question 2

The value of marginal product of labor tells the additional amount of revenue the firm earns by hiring an extra unit of labor, so it is the value to a firm of hiring one more unit of labor. The value of marginal product equals the price of a unit of output multiplied by the marginal product of labor. The firm maximizes its profit by hiring up to the point where the value of marginal product equals the wage rate.
