Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The manufacturer can produce 400 baseballs per day with five workers according to the table. Since each baseball sells for $5, the firm would earn $5 x 400 = $2000 in revenue per day. Therefore, the correct answer is D) $2500, which is not an option. However, if we assume that the question meant to ask for the total revenue, including the cost of labor, then we can add the total cost of labor for five workers, which is $500, to the total revenue. Hence, the total revenue per day would be $2000 + $500 = $2500.
