A firm can manufacture a product according to the production function Q = 2(K)1/4 (L)3/4 where K represents capital equipment and L is labor. The company has already spent $10,000 on the 4  units capital.   a. Please show the expression for the average product of labor, APL and the marginal product of labor, MPL. If workers at the firm are paid a competitive wage of $100 and the product is sold for $200 each, what is optimal level of labor usage and what is the maximum profit?
