A firm’s production function is given by q = 40 ln(EW + EB + 1) where EW and EB are the number of whites and blacks employed by the firm, respectively. From this it can be shown that the marginal product of labor is MPE = 40 / (EW + EB + 1). Suppose the market wage for blacks is $50, the market wage for whites is $100, and the price of each unit of output is $20. (a) How many workers of each race would a non-discriminating firm hire?
