Relationship Between Employment and Output
A firm's production process is based on the principle that each worker's output is constant, regardless of how many workers are employed. If this firm reduces its workforce by 15%, what is the expected percentage change in its total output? Explain the reasoning behind your answer by describing the relationship between the number of workers, output per worker, and total output.

A manufacturing firm's production model is built on the core assumption that each worker produces a fixed number of units per hour, and this individual output level does not change regardless of the total number of employees. If this firm currently has 100 employees and decides to hire 20 more, what would be the direct consequence for the firm's total output according to this specific assumption?
