Assume Manfred hires labor, its only variable input, under purely competitive conditions. Shoe shines are also sold competitively. If the wage rate is $11, how many workers will Manfred hire to maximize profits

Respuesta :

Manfred can hire 5 workers to maximize profits as the products are sold for $6 each and there is enough production in an hour to hire 5 workers.

What is a worker?

Worker is an employee who works for the company, the worker is also called a labor. Labor is paid on an hourly rate, or sometimes a piece of rate is paid in which the labor is paid as much as much production is done or in other words the units are made.

If Manfred hires 5 workers each will be paid $11 per hour, if the worker works for 7 hours a day the total pay for a worker is $77 per day per employee.

The total wages for the 5 workers will be $385 ($11/hour * 7 hours a day * 5 workers).

The total for the month assuming 22 working days will be $8,470 ($11/hour * 7 hours a day * 5 workers * 22 Days)
