Find WN, MRC, and MRP cells. Determine W* and N* from the information provided. Graph the labor supply and demand and MRC curve from the table's data. (Wages Y axis 10,20,30,40 ect, Labor X axis 1,2,3,4 ect.)
W N WN MRC MP MR MRP
50 1 ------ ------ 11 10 ------
50 2 ------ ------ 10 10 ------
50 3 ------ ------ 9 10 ------
50 4 ------ ------ 8 10 ------
50 5 ------ ------ 7 10 ------
55 6 ------ ------ 6 10 ------
60 7 ------ ------ 5 10 ------
65 8 ------ ------ 4 10 ------
70 9 ------ ------ 3 10 ------
75 10 ------ ------ 2 10 ------
Answer
MRP = MP . Price of output
MRC = Wage Rate
W N WN MRC MP MR MRP
50 1 50. 50. 11 10 110
50 2 100 50. 10 10 100
50 3 150 50. 9 10 90
50 4 200. 50. 8 10 80
50 5 250. 50 7 10 70
55 6 330 55 6 10 60
60 7 420 60. 5 10 50
65 8. 520. 65. 4 10 40
70 9 630 70. 3 10 30
75 10 750. 75. 2 10 20
The decision rule - MRC = MRP
Using the decision rule , we can derive the demand curve for labour.
Wage rate Qd Qs
20 10 0
30 9 0
40 8 0
50 7 5
60 6 6
70 5 9
80. 4 10
90 3 10
100 2 10
110 1 10
Here Qd = Quantity Of labour demanded
Qs = Quantity Of labour supplied
