A firm that only employs labor (L) has the following production function:
      f(L) = 20L - L2
Let the price of output be normalized to one and the price of labor (relative to output price) is w.
a.   Write out the profit function for this firm as a function of labor, L.
b.   What is the necessary first-order condition for the firm to maximize profit when L > 0?
c.   Compute the profit maximizing amount of labor as a function of the wage. What is the effect of an increase in wage on the firm's optimal employment level? Use calculus to solve this.
