Answer #1

Firm will employ workers untill marginal revenue that is increase in revenue is more than or equal to wage rate.

When 4th employee is employed , revenue increased by $8 and wage rate is also $8. So there is no loss.

But when 5th worker was employed , increase in revenue is only $4 ($56 - $52) but increase in wage is $8. So it's less than the wage rate. So 5th worker should not be employed.

Hence 4 workers will be employed.

Answer is option A 4 workers.
