Answer: a. less labor and more capital

Explanation:

When the Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRP) is divided by the price for labor (MRC), the result is less than 1. This means that for every dollar spent on labor, labor produces less than a dollar. The labor is therefore not efficient.

This is the reverse for capital where the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one which means that for every dollar investment in capital, more than a dollar is made.

As capital is more efficient, it would make sense to invest more in capital whilst reducing the investment in labor as this would lead to more gain for the company.

Cost of goods sold = $15,000,000

Average inventory for the year = $2,000,000

Therefore, Inventory Turnover ratio = \frac{15,000,000}{2,000,000}
