As an IT manager, you must decide how to allocate programmers between "support"-that is, doing bug fixes and responding to production issues-and the development of new features and systems. Both tasks are measured in completed "tickets," and for each activity, the weekly average product, total product, and marginal product are given in the accompanying table. You do a work study and discover that the marginal product for Support team is actually a flat 50 tickets a week. What then becomes the best allocation of teams? Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers. Number of Support Teams Development AP TP MP AP TP MP 74 74 74 100 100 74 100 148 74 94 188 99 74 222 74 88 264 98 74 296 74 82 328 97
