Production and Perfect Competition ECON220 The firm currently uses 50‚000 workers to produce 200‚000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $80‚ and the price of the firm’s output is $25. The cost of other variable inputs is $400‚000 per day. Assume that total fixed cost equals $1‚000‚000.
