2. 2. Suppose a fim has a production function Q = 3(squareroot)N, where N is labour.
Suppose the price of the output 4. Derive the firm labour demand

a) I suggest you create a table. Columns are N, Q, Total Revenue, and Profit. Rows are N=1,N=2,...N=5. That is, calculate Q, Total Revenue, and profit when wage=3*N and when N=1, when N=2 and so on. Where is profit maximized?

b) use the table you created in a) How much would the firm pay per worker if it only wanted 1 worker, if it wanted 2 workers, ... if it wanted 5 workers.
