Subject:EconomicsPrice: Bought3

Consider a firm with the production function f(K,L)=(K1/4)(L2/4).

In the short run, the firm has rented 25 units of capital. The firm is a price taker in both the output market and labor market, facing an output price of 11 and a market wage of 9 per hour. Rounded to the nearest tenth, how many hours of labor will the firm hire?
