Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

A firm's goal is to maximize profits. Hiring an extra person-hour increases the employer's profit as long as VMP, which is an employer's demand curve for labor, exceeds the wage. As the supply curve of labor to a competitive firm is horizontal at the market wage rate, the profit-maximizing amount to hire is given by the point where the VMP is equal to the wage rate.
