Explain how to derive the demand for an input


Input demand is the downward-sloping portion of the marginal revenue product curve. Marginal revenue product depends on both marginal physical product and the price or revenue from the sale of that product. Use only the downward-sloping portion. On points on the upward-sloping portion of MRP the firm can increase profits by hiring additional units of the input; therefore, the firm will not consider choosing any of the quantities along that portion of the MRP curve.
