Answer:

$15 per hour

Explanation:

In order for a profit maximizing firm to operate in a competitive market, the marginal revenue product (MRP) must be equal to the marginal cost (MC).

MRP = 1.5 oil changes per hour x $10 per oil change = $15

since MRP = MC, then Linda should pay her worker a maximum of $15 per hour.

No option is even close, they are all over $500 and that is way off limits.

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases - Ending inventory

= $70,000 + $285,000 - $105,000

=$ 250,000

Gross profit= Sales - cost of goods sold

= $1,260,000 - $250,000

=$1,010,000

Administrative expenses = $19 × ($1,260,000/450) + $105,000

= $158,200

Selling expenses = $50 × ($1,260,000/450) + $155,000

=$295,000

EBITDA = $556,800
