You are the manager of a business that operates as a Monopolist in the output market, and it is a Monopsonist in the local labour market. The production function of the business is given by: Q=4L In the production function, Q is output, L is the number of workers employed, As a Monopolist, the firm faces a market demand given by: P = 100-Q
As a Monopsonist the firm faces a supply of labour given by the expression: w = 8L
