Your team can produce an output equal to Q=1000 units and you have two inputs or resources to use. These resources are labor and capital. Assume the wage rate is is $10 for labor and renting cost for a machine is $20.   Suppose you have three combinations of resources available to you and these are: Option I                   Labor = 10                     Capital = 5 Option II                  Labor = 4                       Capital = 8 Option III                 Labor = 14                    Capital = 2   Find the least cost method and decide which method you will select to produce Q=1000 (show your work below)
Blast! Turns out child workers are not as productive as adults that I was basing my decision off of. Basically, they are two minutes slower across the board: # of Concession Stand Employees Average Wait Time (Minutes) Average Wait Time (Minutes) with Child Employees 1 18 20 2 8 10 3 6 8 4 5 7 5 7 9 At the daily rate of $12.50 per child worker per day, how many should I hire? (If you are doing this correctly you are thinking with marginal analysis, and if so, might be wondering if this is a trick question. It is not, it is quite straight forward precisely because of marginal analysis!)
