Suppose a firm’s production function is given by Q = 10L – L2, for L = 0 to 6, where L is labor input per day and Q is output per day. Derive the firm’s demand for labor curve if the firm’s output sells for $10 in a competitive market. How many workers will the firm hire when the wage rate is $20 per day?? (Hint: The marginal product of labor is 10 – 2L.)
