Do the total and marginal product curves for this firm ever exhibit diminishing marginal returns to labor? Increasing marginal returns to labor?
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_
