Economics WAEC

If wage rate is less than the average revenue product, the firms would be earning?

A. loss
B. super normal profit
C. normal profit
D. higher revenue

Correct Answer: Option B

B. super normal profit

Explanation

MRP = Marginal Revenue Product
ARP = Average Revenue Product

Therefore, if the wage rate is less than the ARP, the firm will make super-normal profit. As a result, new firms will enter the industry and the demand for labour will increase which will push up the wage rate so as to be equal to the ARP.
