A local snowboard firm wants to produce 200 snowboards next month. The firm must hire more labor in order to produce at this level (Q=200), and is faced with the option of hiring either skilled or unskilled workers (denoted by S and U, respectively). Should the firm hire always hire the most skilled workers? Under what conditions would the firm hire unskilled workers? Under what conditions would the firm hire skilled workers? Please formally derive your conclusions.

Assume the following:

Production Function: Q=aS+U

Total Cost = W _sS +W_uU

W_s= wage of skilled workers

W_u= wage of unskilled workers

Now assume that W_s = 10, W_u = 8 and a = 2. Would the firm hire more skilled or unskilled workers? Explain.
