b. a) Instead, suppose that the firm holds monopsony power in the market for labor and faces the labor supply curve below. Continue to assume that the firm is perfectly competitive in the market for their output where the equilibrium price is $10 and that their production function is as defined above. Determine the profit maximizing quantity and wage for their labor. (Hint: to calculate the marginal cost of labor, first calculate total cost at each level of employment (workers wage), then calculate marginal cost per usual i.e. for each additional worker how do costs change?) .

Hi, Could you help me solve this problem? The problem is attached as an image, as it contains characters I cannot type here.
Please don’t use excel. Please provide equations used.
Imagine you are the mayor of a town and you are trying to decide if you should pay for a fireworks show. Your staff survey your 400 citizens who say that they each value a fireworks show at $10. The fireworks show only costs $3,000 so you put on the show but when you ask for donations to pay for the fireworks you only receive $25 total. What does this result show? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. You staff's survey must have overestimated the value of a fireworks show. b The fireworks cost must have been greater than their economic benefit. The firework show suffered from the Tragedy of the Commons problems d The town's citizens were free-riders.
