EatHub is a food delivery service that hires drivers (labor) and rents delivery vehicles (physical capital) to manage its operations. The current wage rate for drivers is $8 per hour, while the rental rate for vehicles is $10 per hour. Each driver can complete 50 deliveries per hour (marginal product of labor), and each vehicle enables 60 delivers per hour (marginal product of capital). Which of the following statements is the correct advice one would offer to EatHub about its current combination of labor and capital? EatHub should employ more drivers and increase the number of delivery trucks rented. EatHub should layoff some drivers (decrease the number workers employed) and increase the number of delivery trucks rented. EatHub should layoff some drivers (decrease the number workers employed) and decrease the number of delivery trucks rented.
