1. A firm production function is given by q(l,k) =
l0.5·k0.5, where q is number of units of
output produced, l the number of units of labor input used and k
the number of units of capital input used. This firm profit
function is π = p·q(l,k) – w·l – v·k, where p is the price of
output, w the wage rate of labor and v the rental rate of capital.
