The rent is $900 per week and the wage for barristas is $16 per hour. Amy can legally keep her shop open up to 100 hours a week. The number of expresso drinks q Amy’s barristas can make in an hour given the capital on hand, and assuming she doesn’t run out of beans or cups, is given by q = 15L.5 where L is the number of barristas currently working. Amy can provide 50 hours of barrista labor herself instead of hiring a worker if she wants to reduce labor costs, and she could also work 50 hours a week running the coffee shop across the street for $25 an hour. The typical price of an expresso drink is $7, which Amy takes as given since there are many other coffee shops in the neighborhood. The cost of the materials M (cups, beans, and milk) that go into each drink sold is $2.50, and Amy’s coffee bean and cups…10 a 16 5 12 — P=$/Q 100 95 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 SSSSSSSOS 45 40 35 M3221150 43 D before stay at home order Q of toilet paper 15 Dafter stay at home order The graph shows the market for toilet paper in Michigan.
