    D) The output price is $0.80 per unit.

    Explanation:

    In order for a profit maximizing firm to operate in a competitive market, the marginal revenue product (MRP) must be equal to the marginal cost (MC).

    MRP = MC

    MC = $8 per hour (wage rate per hour)

    MRP = 10 units per hour x output price per unit = $8

    output price per unit = $8 / 10 units = $0.80 per unit
