In the short run, a tool manufacturer has a fixed amount of capital. Labor is a variable input. The cost and output structure that the firm faces is depicted in the table below. Assume the product price is $6. Calculate the marginal revenue product and the marginal resource cost, and then complete the table. Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers. Quantity of Labor | Total Product | Marginal Product | Marginal Revenue Product ($) | Hourly Wage Rate ($) | Total Labor Cost ($) | Marginal Resource (Labor) Cost ($) 10 | 400 | - | - | 9 | 90 | - 11 | 416 | 16 | | 12 | 132 | 12 | 430 | 14 | | 15 | 180 | 13 | 442 | 12 | | 18 | 234 | 14 | 452 | 10 | | 21 | 294 | 15 | 460 | 8 | | 24 | 360 | The equilibrium wage rate ($) = The equilibrium level of labor use = workers
