Question
Consider a single-product firm under monopoly. The firm’s profit function is given by ? = PQ-wL-rK, where P=price, Q=output, L=labor, K=capital, w=wage, and r=rent.
Let the market demand function and the firm’s production function be Q=PQ=P-2 and Q=K raised to the power (4/5)*L raised to the power (4/5), respectively.
