Minimum Wage

The diagram below is the same as in the last question. Suppose that a minimum wage greater than w* is introduced. Assuming that it should not serve to reduce employment below the pre-existing level of n*, what is the upper bound on the minimum wage?

w*
the wage at which the demand curve intersects the average cost of labour
wmin
the wage at which the demand curve intersects the marginal cost of labour
