<u>Workers     Total Production</u>

1                      100

2                      190

3                       270

4                       340

5                       400

6                        450

7                        490

8                        520

Explanation:

Profit is maximized when marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue.

i.e MC=MR.

<u>Workers     Total Production  TC        MC           TR           MR</u>

                                                   $            $            $              $

1                        100                 600           -          1000           -    

2                        190                1200       600       1900          900

3                        270               1800        600       2700         800

4                        340               2400       600        3400        700

<em>5  </em>                      400              3000       600         4000       <em> 600</em>

6                        450             3600        600          4500        500

7                        490             4200        600          4900        400

8                        520             4800        600          5200       300

Where TC=Total Cost=worker multiply by cost per worker=$600*1=$600; etc.

MC=Marginal Cost=TC minus preceding TC=$600.

TR=Total Revenue=Total Production multiply by production price=$100*$10=$1,000, etc.

MR=Marginal Revenue=TR minus preceding TR=$1900-$1,000=$900, etc.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: c. It could allow real wages to downwardly adjust more easily.
