    Answer: $500

    Explanation:

    Had to complete the question first

    No of security guard No of radio stolen/wk

    0 50

    200 30

    400 20

    600 14

    800 8

    1000 6

    Explanation:

    If the firm decides to hire the first security guard and a radio worth $25, MB = MC which gives us the sum of $500 which is the worth of hiring the first security guard. Hiring the guard is same as having no quarrel at all and paying for the stolen radios. This means the security guard would save 20 radios at $25 each.
