Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The clinic has 10 workers, each capable of producing either 2 units of medical services or 5 units of secretarial services per day. To produce 10 units of medical services, 5 workers are needed (5 workers x 2 units = 10 units). The remaining 5 workers can produce 25 units of secretarial services (5 workers x 5 units = 25 units). Therefore, producing 10 units of medical services and 30 units of secretarial services is unattainable with the current workforce.
