Homework Answers
The values in the table are correct
Option A is correct because when there is a change in the wage rate, labour demand does not change but there is a movement along the demand curve. In this case, marginal product remains unchanged with the change in the wage rate and because price is fixed by the competitive market, value of the marginal product of labour does not change
Optimal hiring will be 6 students per day. This is because when sixth student is hired the value of the marginal product of labour and wage rate both are equal to $10.
