The MRP (Marginal Revenue Product) of the second barber is calculated by the additional revenue generated by hiring the second barber. With one barber, the shop can provide 24 haircuts per day, and with two barbers, it can provide 42 haircuts per day. The difference is 18 haircuts. Since each haircut is charged at $6, the MRP of the second barber is 18 haircuts * $6 = $108.
