- part A and B are based on the following data, which are for a pumpkin farmer who can hire pumpkin pickers at $8.50 per day. Number of pickers 1234567890 (e) Briefly explain your answer. (b) (c) Value of pumpkin output $30 48 62 72 80 84 87 A) The profit-maximizing pumpkin farmer should hire only (a) One pumpkin picker because his contribution to output is greatest. (b) Three pumpkin pickers because the fourth costs more than he earns. (c) Four pumpkin pickers because the fifth costs more than he earns. (d) Nine pumpkin pickers because the value of the marginal product of the tenth picker is zero. Ten pumpkin pickers because costs will equal revenue. 89 90 91 The Great Pumpkin, in an attempt to make the pumpkin pickers better off, legislates that pumpkin pickers must be paid a wage no less than $14.50 per day.
