Show Answers

When marginal revenue equals marginal productWhen the marginal cost equals the marginal productWhen the marginal revenue product matches the average labor costWhen the marginal revenue product is equal to the marginal labor cost

A firm aiming to maximize profit will continue employing labor until the cost of hiring an additional worker (marginal cost) is equal to the extra output produced by that worker (marginal product). This ensures that the cost of labor is justified by the value of the output generated.
