A local non-profit group prints a weekly newsletter. Professional typists earn $10 per hour and can type 2 pages per hour. Unpaid volunteers can type only 1 page per hour. Measuring hours of professional typist services on the vertical axis and hours of unpaid volunteer typist services on the horizontal axis, draw the relevant isoquant and isocost curves if the newsletter is 10 pages long. What input mix is chosen by the non-profit group if they wish to minimize the cost of the newsletter? If the group will reimburse volunteers for expenses (lunch, driving), how much must the reimbursement be for your answer to change
