Production function of a firm has the following form:
Q= 48L2 – 4L3 , where L stands for amounts of labor and Q represents level of output
Find the level of output at a point where marginal product reaches its maximum.
Given the production function, the marginal product of labor is equal to
The slope of the marginal product is equal to
When marginal product is maximized, the slope of the marginal product is equal to zero. Therefore
Therefore, the marginal product is maximized at L=4 units.
The level of output at the point where the marginal product is maximized is equal to
