Use the given data for a firm's output at various levels of employment (L) to calculate:

Number of Workers (L) Output (Q)

1 100

3 600
4 850
5 1000
6 1100

1) Its marginal physical product of labor (MPPL) schedule;

2) Its (MPPL/MRCL) schedule, given a fixed wage (W = MRCL) of $25 per hour per worker.

3) Assuming that capital (K) is held constant at 2 machines and MPPK/MRCK = 10, what is the least-cost input-combination of labor and capital and how much output is produced with that set of resources?
