perfectly competitive firm should hire an additional worker only if Total revenue is less than total cost_ The worker's marginal revenue product is less than the wage rate The worker's marginal product falls. the worker's marginal product rises _ the worker's marginal revenue product exceeds the wage rate_
Let $R(x)$ be the revenue and $C(x)$ be the cost from manufacturing $x$ items. Profit is defined as $P(x)=R(x)-C(x) .$ Show that at the value of $x$ that maximizes profit, marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
