题目如下：

In a given firm, skilled workers currently produce twice as much of its product as unskilled workers do per hour worked. Skilled workers earn $20 per hour, and unskilled workers earn $8 per hour. Based on this information, the firm should:

A. Increase the use of skilled workers and/or decrease the use of unskilled workers.

B. Increase the use of unskilled workers and/or decrease the use of skilled workers.

答案是Ｂ，

熟练工人工作效率仅仅是非熟练工人的２倍，但是工资却大于２倍。个人觉得应该减少熟练工人的工资或增加其使用量啊，而答案却是增加非熟练工人的使用，或者这里use是salary的意思？麻烦各位帮忙看一下，谢谢！

原题见notes2， page100,第3题。

谢谢老师的讲解！

我理解老师的回答是通过增加非熟练工人的使用，延长劳动时间，使得其边际产量从最初为熟练工人５０％递减至４０％，然后满足工资率的比率，使得熟练工人和非熟练工人的ＭＰ／ｗ相等，利润最大化。不知道正确否？谢谢了！
