Suppose the firm is operating at a perfectly competitive market. The firm recently invested $10,000 in new machinery. Each unit produced cost $10 and the market price is $20.
(a) How many units will the firm produce?
(b) [a bit of a stretch question] Now suppose that each unit still costs $10 and each worker is compensated $10/hr. How many units will the firm produce? Note: there is no definite answer. You may choose to use any technique you want. Credit is based on explanation.
