Problem:

Jim owns a music school teaching guitar. The school has a small space and thus any additional teacher adds less to total production (MP is diminishing). Each guitar lesson costs $25/hour. Here is Jim's Production Function:

                                              Labor                             Q (quantity of lessons)

                                                 0                                  0

                                                 1                                 10  

                                                 2                                 17                             

                                                 3                                  23

                                                 4                                  28

                                                 5                                  32

                                                 6                                  35                          

                                                 7                                   37

                                                 8                                   38

The daily wage rate for the teachers are: $75 , $100 , $125 , $150 , $175 , and $200.

A) Find Jim's labor demand schedule (Marginal Revenue Product) for each of the above wages.

B) If the price for guitar lessons goes up to $35/hour, Jim's demand for Labor will change. Find his new Labor demand at each of the same wage rates above.
