Not what you're looking for?
A certain production process employs two inputs - labor (L) and raw materials (R). Output (Q) is a function of these two inputs and is given by the following relationship:
Q = 6L2 R2 - .10L3 R3.
Assume that raw materials (input R) are fixed at 10 units. How many units of input L are required to maximize the total product function. How many are required to maximize the marginal product funtion and how many to maximize the average product function?
