Suppose that you have the following production function:
Y=9K0.5N0.5. With this production function the marginal product of
labor is MPN=4.5K0.5N-0.5 (hint: firms pay workers MPN so this
equals w). The capital stock is K=25. The labor supply curve is
NS=100[(1-t)]w]2 , where w is the real wage, t is the tax on
income, and hence (1-t)w is the after-tax real wage rate.

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.

Suppose a firm’s long-run production function is given by
Q=K^0.25 L^0.25 ,where K is measured in machine-hours per year and
L is measured in hours of labor per year. The cost of capital
(rental rate denoted by r) is $1200 per machine-hour and the cost
of labor (wage rate denoted by w) is $12 per hour.
