Hello, we know that in order to maximize the profit, the marginal product of labor over the price of this labor or the wage price of the labor should be equal to the marginal product of capital divided by the price of capital.
00:34
And let's look what do we have here? so the marginal product of labor is given, it's 110, and the price of labor or the wage is $9 per hour.
00:55
So we can easily calculate it's equal to 12 .2.
01:01
What about the second ratio? the marginal product of capital is also given.
01:07
It's 120 and divided by the price of capital.
01:18
So you know, it's given that the company rents roller cutters and cramping machines for $14 per hour.
01:30
So we can calculate it will be equal to 8 .6.
01:37
As we can see, the marginal product of labor over the budget.
01:41
Price of labor much greater than the second ratio.
01:47
So let me write it clearly.
01:49
If we compare this, they are not equal.
01:56
We have a situation when the first ratio is greater...
