A few points about this curve.- The factor demand curve is only the negatively-sloped portion of the marginal revenue product curve.
- The factor demand curve is negatively sloped because the marginal revenue product curve is negatively sloped, and this is due to the law of diminishing marginal returns.
- The factor demand curve stops at the horizontal axis where marginal revenue product is zero.
- This factor demand curve is based on the presumption that the firm was able to pay the same wage for each worker ($20 per hour).
