1) The document presents an optimization problem to determine the optimal number of workers to hire or fire each week to minimize total costs.
2) It outlines the costs and constraints at each stage (week) and calculates the optimal solution for the number of workers at each stage that results in the minimum total cost.
3) The minimum total cost was found to be $3,400 by hiring 6 workers in week 1, firing 1 worker in week 2, firing 2 more workers in week 3, hiring 3 workers back in week 4, and hiring 2 more workers in week 5.
