| Khadria | MRP = MR * MP where MR is the change in revenue for one additional unit produced. |
| boddunah | MR is the change in TR for one additional unit sold. 1 unit sold for $10 = $10(TR) 2 units sold for $18 = $18(TR) MR = 18-10/1 = 8. MP is the change in TP for one additional unit labor employed. 1 unit of labor produces 4 goods(TP) 2 units of labor produce 7 goods(TP) MP = change in TP/change in labor. MP = 7-4/1 = 3 MRP = MR*MP MRP = 8*3 --> 24 |
| boddunah | perfect competitive market MR = P . MRP = MR*MP MRP = P*MP----. price* marginal product of labor. |
