Q5. A bicycle manufacturer in China currently employs 40 production workers and five supervisors and produces . The marginal product of the last production worker employed is 60 units of output per hour, and production workers are paid 50 CNY per hour. The marginal product of the last supervisor employed is 120 units of output per hour, and supervisors are paid 80 CNY per hour. i. If the firm produced 2,100 bicycles per month before the last production worker was hired, how many bicycles does it produce now? ii. Assume that the firm's isoquants are smooth curves and that labor hours can be varied continuously. Is the firm producing the maximum level of bicycles given its current level of cost? Explain why or why not. If it isn't, explain what it should do to increase output.
