You have been hired by the No Hassle Collection Agency to provide economic advice. The owner of the agency tells you that No Hassle's only variable input is the number of collection agents. The hourly wage for collection agents is $30.00. The marginal revenue product curve for collection agents reaches its maximum at five workers with a marginal revenue product of $34.00. What advice would you give this firm? Shut down immediately, as the firm is not able to cover all of its variable costs. Decrease the wage rate paid to collection agents so that their marginal revenue product will decrease. Hire five collection agents so as to maximize profits. Hire collection agents until the marginal revenue product is equal to the wage — which will occur when more than five agents are employed.
