To maximize profit, ABC Manufacturing should hire: c. 4 workers. d. 5 workers. a. 2 workers. b. 3 workers.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 4. The Marginal product of the second worker and the value of marginal product:-

b. 180; 360

Marginal product = Output of worker 1 and 2 minus output of worker 1. i.e., 420-240=180.

Value of Marginal product = Marginal ouput * value of each output. i.e., 180*2=360.

Ans 5:- 4 workers. Max profit $860 earned.

Profit earned:-

1 worker =240*2-75=405

2 worker =420*2-150=690

3 worker =530*2-225=835

4 worker =580*2-300=860*

5 worker =600*2-375=825
