Suppose that low-skilled workers employed in clearing woodland can each clear one acre per month if each is equipped with a shovel, a machete, and a chainsaw. Clearing one acre brings in $1,300 in revenue. Each worker's equipment costs the worker's employer $235 per month to rent and each worker toils 40 hours per week for 4 weeks each month. Instructions: In part a, enter your answer as a whole number. In parts b-e, round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What is the marginal revenue product of hiring one low-skilled worker to clear woodland for one month? b. How much revenue per hour does each worker bring in? $ c. If the minimum wage is $13.20, by how much will the revenue per hour in part b differ from the minimum wage?

Would this transfer increase or decrease the share of income held by the bottom quintile? Would this have any effect on the 2nd quintile? The 3rd? The 4th?
