    1. The marginal revenue product of the 6th unit of labor is $10

    2. Hire more workers.

    Explanation:

    1. MRP of 6th unit = TR of 6th unit - TR of 5th unit

    TR = PX Q

    TR of 6th unit = 5 X 11 = $ 55

    TR of 5th unit = 5 X 9 = $ 45

    MRP of 6th unit = 55 - 45 = $ 10

    2. hire more workers because firm's additional fixed cost is less than firm's marginal revenue. So, it is profitable for firm to increase its production.
