Production TheoryTotal ProductAverage ProductMarginal Product
Labor DemandMarginal Revenue Product (MRP)Value of the Marginal Product (VMP)
Marginal Revenue Product (MRP)
Marginal Revenue Product of Labor equals the Marginal Revenue times the Marginal Product of Labor
MRPL= MR*MPL
Units of Measure: $/L = ($/Q)*(Q/L)
Value of the Marginal Product (VMP)
The Value of the Marginal Product of Labor equals the output Price times the Marginal Product of Labor
VMPL= P*MPL
Units of Measure: $/L = ($/Q)*(Q/L)For a competitive firm P=MR, therefore MR*MP=MRP=VMP=P*MPFor a monopolistic firm P>MR, therefore P*MP=VMP>MRP=MR*MP
FACTOR COST
Marginal Factor Cost (MFC)
Average Factor Cost (AFC)
Under a rule of one price (wage), the wage rate, W, equals the average factor cost, AFC
