Explain how a firm's production function is related to its marginal product of labor, how a firm's marginal product of labor is related to the value of its marginal product, and how a firm's value of marginal product is related to its demand for labor

The price paid to each factor adjusts to balance the supply and demand for that factor. Because factor demand reflects the value of the marginal product of that factor, in equilibrium, each factor is compensated according to its marginal contribution to the production of goods and services.

Explanation:

The incremental profit that is being earned for an additional single unit by subtracting the price of the product and all the variable cost that is associated with that product is the marginal contribution. It is the earnings that is obtained in total for paying all fixed expense and also for the profit generation.

The price that is spent for the every factor in order to adjust balancing the supply and demand of that particular factor. This is because of the reason that, the value of the marginal product of any factor is controlled by the demand factor. Thus in an equilibrium state there will be a compensation of each factor based on the marginal contribution to the production of goods and services.
