What is the demand for labor from the production function Q
= 12L – L^2?
Suppose a firm’s production function is given by Q = 12L –
L^2 for L = 0 to 6, where L is labour input per day and Q is output per day.
Derive and draw the firm’s demand for labour curve if the output sells for $10
in the competitive market. How many workers will the firm hire when the wage
rate is $30 per day? (Hint: The marginal product of labour, MPL is 12 – 2L)
