income share for labour. If labour grows by 3
percent, capital grows by 2 percent and the

A firm's production technology is Y = A * K^0.25 * L^0.75, where the technology level A=8. For such a production function the marginal product of capital is MPK = 0.25 * 8 * K^-0.75 * L^0.75 The firm is stuck with K=81 but is flexible on workers. If the price of the firm's output is P=20 and the cost of a unit of capital is R=8.33, how many workers should the firm have? Round your answer to the whole worker. The answer is 10.
