Answer:

Attached below are the graphs

Explanation:

i) The Equilibrium wage rate in the market is determined by the Intersection of the labor demand and supply curve  as seen in the graph attached

ii) The Labor supply curve the firm faces is perfectly elastic in a perfectly competitive resource market

iii) The demand curve of the firm is perfectly elastic because in competitive market a slight change in price will cause a massive change in demand

iv) The firm will continue hiring as long as  MRP ≥ MFC

( MRP = marginal revenue product , MFC = marginal factor cost )
