Question 1

Firms will employ an input up to the point where


◦ the wage rate equals the productivity of capital.
◦ its marginal cost equals its marginal product.
◦ the input's price equals its marginal revenue product.
◦ the input's price equals its marginal product.

Question 2

Liu's Potato Chips is a perfectly competitive firm currently employing 30 workers. The marginal revenue product of the 30th worker is $7.00 per hour. The wage rate is $8.00 per hour. To increase profits, this firm should


◦ decrease employment until the 
MRP of labor equals $8.00.
◦ increase employment until the 
MRP of labor equals $8.00.
◦ continue hiring 30 workers because the firm earns a surplus of $1.00 on each worker hired.
