This document discusses firm choices in input markets. It covers several key topics:
1) Demand for inputs is derived from demand for the outputs that inputs can produce. Inputs are demanded by firms if households demand the good or service produced.
2) Inputs can be complementary, meaning more of one input increases the productivity of the other, or substitutable. A firm's input demands are linked together.
3) Firms face diminishing returns and will eventually encounter lower marginal productivity when increasing one input while holding others constant in the short run. They maximize profits by producing at the point where marginal revenue product equals factor costs.

A firm’s pricing market power depends on its competitive environment.
In perfectly competitive markets, firms have no market power. They are “price takers.” They make decisions based on the market price, which they are powerless to influence.
In markets that are not perfectly competitive (which describes most markets), most firms have some degree of market power.
Strategy in the absence of market power
Firms cannot influence price and, because products are not unique, they cannot influence demand by advertising or product differentiation.
Managers in this environment maximize profit by minimizing cost, through the efficient use of resources, and by determining the quantity to produce.

If the only variable factor of production is labor, the condition W* = MRP L is the same condition as P = MC . The two statements are exactly the same thing.
