Respuesta :

Answer:

Joe's Pizza Parlor

The highest number of workers that Joe will hire if he must pay each one $35 a day is

4 workers.

If he wants to maximize his profits without satisfying customers' demand, Joe can choose to work with 2 or 3 workers.  However, he can renegotiate the worker's wages downwards.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of pizza = $5

Wage per worker = $35/day

Number of Workers         0     1      2      3        4       5

Pizzas Baked Per Day      0    12   18     24     30     32

Total revenue                   0   60  90   120    150    160

Marginal revenue             0   60  30    30      30      10

Marginal cost of labor      0    35  70   105    140    175

Profit                                 0    25  20     15      10     -15

 

The number of workers that Joe will hire if he is supposed to pay every worker $35 per day would be:

2 workers

Find the number of workers

Given that,

No. of workers    Pizzas baked every day

 0                                   0

  1                                   12

  2                                  18

  3                                  24

  4                                  30

  5                                  32

Price of pizza [tex]= 5[/tex]

Wage of 1 worker each day = $ 35

If we calculate,

Total revenue for different no. of workers   =  0   60  90   120    150    160

Marginal revenue for varied no. of workers =  0   60  30    30      30      10

Marginal cost of labor  =                                  0    35  70   105    140    175

Profit [tex]=[/tex]                                                             0    25  20     15      10     -15

In order to get pay each labor $35 a day, Joe must hire 2 workers.              

Thus, 2 workers are the correct answer.
