Labor Demand
Use the information below to answer the questions.
The table below represents a production schedule for Quincy's Quiche Corner, a restaurant in a mall that sells quiches, priced at $3 each (P = $3). Total Revenue (TR) equals price multiplied by the number of quiches produced per hour.
Employees are primarily high school students with virtually identical skills as quiche makers, and they are paid a wage rate of $8.00 per hour (W = $8). Labor costs equal the wage rate multiplied by the number of workers employed per hour.
Quincy's has total fixed cost (TFC) equal to $18 per hour.
Total cost is equal to labor costs plus TFC. Profit is equal to Total Revenue minus Total Cost
Assume Quincy's operates in a perfectly competitive environment (in both input and output markets).
Fill in the missing values in the table.
