Assume that the marginal productivity of apple pickers has increased. Which graph best illustrates this change?
Answer is 1) graph in part c)
As productivity rise,MP of labour increase
Since Labor demand curve is Marginal revenue product curve which is MP * Price of output
So Labor demand curve shifts rightwards
Labor supply curve being unchanged,
In a) Labor demand curve shifts inwards, which is wrong
In b & d , no shifting of Demand curve, hence wrong
