2. Factors Market

4. Factors of Production Factors, Resources, Inputs – Land – Labor – Capital – Entrepreneurship

5. Cost Minimizing Combination of Resources at a Given Level of Output MPP/$ of Labor = MPP/$ of Capital – $ = MRC = Price (in perfectly competitive market) – Example MPP last unit of labor = 5Wage rate (MRC)= $10 MPP last unit of capital = 8 MRC = $16 Labor MPP/$ =.5Capital MPP/$ =.5

6. Optimal Combination (Profit Maximizing) of Resources at a Given Level of Output MRP/$ of Labor = MRP/$ of Capital – $ = MRC = Price (in perfectly competitive market) – Example MRP last unit of labor = $10Wage rate (MRC)= $10 MRP last unit of capital = $16 MRC = $16 Labor MRP/$ = Capital MRP/$ = 1

7. Perfectly Competitive Labor Market

9. Households = Supply Firms = Demand

10. Perfectly Competitive Market and Firm

11. Wage Elasticity- Labor Markets

12. Perfectly Competitive Market and Firm Supply = Marginal Resource Cost (MRC) Demand = Marginal Revenue Product (MRP) Profit-Max Q of Labor: MRP=MRC

14. Perfectly Competitive Firm MRP>MRC- hire more MRC>MRP- fire some

15. Monopolist Monopolist and Perfectly Competitive Labor Market

17. Labor Market Monopsony in Competitive Product Market *one buyer of labor (only one firm hiring)
