Assume a firm has the following short-run production function:\[ q(L) = L + 2L^2 - \frac{1}{3}L^3 \]Given the production function above, answer the following two questions:A) If this firm is going to maximize profits in the short-run by producing a strictly positive level of output $( q > 0 )$, what is the lowest level of labor $( L )$ they would employ?Minimum level of labor = [ ]B) Now suppose the firm must pay each unit of labor $( L )$ a wage of $10 $( w = 10 )$. If this firm is maximizing their profits in the short-run by hiring 4 units of labor $( L = 4 )$, what must be the price $( p )$ that they can charge for each unit of output they produce?Price = [ ] dollars

The change in q(output) due to the change in l(labor) is measured by MPL(marginal product of labor).…

A competitive firm produces output using three fixed inputs and one variable input. The firm’s short-run production function is q = 200x − 3x^2, where x is the amount of variable input used. The price of the output is $5 per unit and the price of the variable input is $10 per unit. In the short run, how many units of x should the firm use?
