    if your uncle is maximizing his profit, the value of the marginal product of the last worker he hired will be $12 while that of worker's marginal product will be $2 sandwiches per hour.

    Explanation:

    Marginal Revenue Product can be seen as the way in which additional revenue is been generated by additional workers.

    Price = $6

    Wage = $12

    Since your enterprising uncle is hiring workers such that their wage is been equals the marginal revenue product.

    Hence,

    wage = Marginal revenue product

    12 = 12

    In a situation where the marginal revenue product is 12 then the marginal product will be:

    Marginal Revenue Product = Price x MP

    MP = Marginal Revenue Product / Price

    MP = 12 / 6

    MP = 2

    Therefore if your uncle is maximizing his profit, the value of the marginal product of the last worker he hired will be $12 while that of worker's marginal product will be $2 sandwiches per hour.
