The theory of marginal productivity of labour states that demand for workers depends on their marginal revenue product (MRP – the value of the physical addition to output arising from hiring one extra unit of a factor of production. Where the MC of taking on an additional unit of labour equals its marginal revenue product‚ the equilibrium quantity of labour will be established. The MRP theory suggests that

An increase in supply will lead to a shift to the right whereas a decrease in supply will lead to a shift to the left of the original supply curve. This will lead to a movement along the demand curve to the new intersection point. Demand Curves When more people want something‚ the quantity demanded at all prices will

The cost of a product under marginal costing or variable costing includes only the variable costs of making the product. The variable costs include direct material‚ direct labour and variable overheads. Variable costs per unit approximate the marginal cost of making another unit of a product. Selling price minus variable costs adds up to contribution. Contribution is the amount of money available to cover the fixed costs and afterwards to contribute to profit. The fixed costs are treated as period
