Edith is the owner and manager of a small coffee shop that employs three workers who use the one coffee machine to make and serve coffee to paying customers. Business has begun to pick up; lines are getting longer everyday in her shop. She sees her employees scrambling to take orders, get cups, fill coffee from the coffee machine, add cream and sugar, and serve customers in a timely manner. She figures if she hires three more employees she’ll be able to sell twice as much coffee. Do you think she’s likely to be right? Why or why not?
