The price of milk is $12 per litre, and each worker is paid $550 daily. If the marginal product of the last worker employed is 40 litres of milk, explain whether Fred is maximizing his profit. If not, can Fred increase his profit by employing more or fewer workers? If Fred buys more dairy cattles, how will it affect his demand for labor?

A local radio announcer interviewed the Health Minister and said “Woe, that’s a lot of money. It’s too much.” In a graph below draw the labor market for family doctors in BC. In terms of economics, what would it mean if the new wage was “too much”? (i.e. show on the graph) Currently in the province, under the old wage, 20% of the population (a million people) are unable to access a family doctor. Replicate your graph from (a) and show this current situation. Do you think the new wage is going to be “too much”? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
