In a competitive industry, suppose the marginal revenue product (MRP) of the last doughnut baker hired is $35, the MRP of the last bagel baker hired is $15, and a bakery must pay doughnut bakers $40 a day and bagel bakers $10 per day. To maximize profits the bakery should hire:

The bakery should hire fewer doughnut bakers and more bagel makers to maximize profits.

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

MRP of the last doughnut baker hired = $35

MRP of the last bagel baker hired = $15

Cost of doughnut bakers per day = $40

Cost of bagel bakers per day = $10

Decision criteria are that:

1. When the MRP is greater than Cost per day, hire more.

2. When the MRP is less greater Cost per day, hire fewer.

Since from the above, we have:

1. MRP of the last doughnut baker hired < Cost of doughnut bakers per day => $35 < $40

2. MRP of the last bagel baker hired > Cost of bagel bakers per day => $15 > $10

Therefore, the bakery should hire fewer doughnut bakers and more bagel makers to maximize profits.

due to the changes the federal reserve is making the unused reserves will impact the economy by them facing inflation. inflation is definfed as the increase in pricing of a good or service but the decline of the value of money used for purchasing those items. when the economy has a high inflation rate, they are subject to money loss and hurt on the economy.
