2.3 [related to the Economics in Practice on p. 184]
Identical sweaters can be made in one of two ways.
With a machine that can be rented for $50 per hour and a person to run the machine who can be hired at
$25 per hour, five sweaters can be produced in an hour using $10 worth of wool. Alternatively, I can run the machine with a less-skilled worker, producing only four sweaters in an hour with the same $10 worth of wool.
(The less-skilled worker is slower and wastes material.) At what wage rate would I choose the less-skilled worker?
