Like any market, the profit maximization level is the point at which marginal cost equals marginal revenue. In this case, the marginal cost of labor is the labor wage. Thus, the profit maximization point for the employer is the point at which wage equals the marginal revenue product of labor.

A firm will hire labor until the marginal revenue product of labor is lower than the cost of labor/wage, which is $8. The marginal revenue product of labor is the marginal product of labor multiplied by the product's price. The marginal revenue of the fourth unit of labor is $10 (five units multiplied by $2) and the marginal revenue of the fifth unit of labor is $6 (three units multiplied by $2). Thus, the firm will hire four units of labor.

The marginal revenue product of labor for the fourth unit of labor is its marginal product multiplied by the cost of the product. The marginal product of the fourth unit of labor is 4 (the difference between total production at four units of labor and three units of labor), and cost of the product is $2, so the marginal revenue product of labor for the fourth unit is $8.

The firm will hire three units of labor, because it will continue to hire until the wage exceeds the marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL). The MRPL after the third unit of labor is less than $10, which means that the firm will not hire more than three units of labor.
