Ten cases of spring water are sold for $6 each, and the marginal product of the last unit of labor is 5. If the price of a case increases from $6 to $8, then the marginal revenue product of the last unit of labor would _____ Question 15 options: a) decrease by $10. b) decrease by $30. c) increase by $40. d) increase by $20. e) increase by $10.

Step 1
- The initial price of a case of spring water is $6. - The marginal product of the last unit of labor is 5. - Therefore, the initial marginal revenue product (MRP) of the last unit of labor is calculated as: \[ \text{Initial MRP} = \text{Marginal Product} Show more…

Question 49 Regression analysis was applied, and a significant relationship between product demand (Y) and the product price (X) was found. The following estimated regression equation was obtained: Y = 120 + 10X Based on the above estimated regression equation, if the price increased by 10 units, then the demand is expected to: a) decrease by 10 units b) decrease by 100 units c) increase by 100 units d) increase by 10 units e) none of the above
