From this demand schedule, we can create a demand curve for labor. If the firm is a price maker in the product market, price is not equal to marginal revenue. Since marginal revenue is less than price, the demand for the resources will decline faster as the price of the input increases. The table on the right shows the quantity of labor demanded in a perfectly competitive market (pc) where price equals marginal revenue and the quantity of labor demanded when the firm is a price maker in the product market (pm).
