Marginal product of labour = MPN = dF/dN = 5(K/N)0.5
When N = 9 and K = 16
MPN = 5 x 4/3 = 6.67
When N = 9 and K = 25
MPN = 5 x 5/3 = 8.33

Suppose that the production function is Y = 9 60.500.5 With this production function, the marginal product of labor is MPN = 4.5 K.5/10.5 The labor supply curve is NS = 105 x[(1 – t)xw], where w is the real wage rate, t is the tax rate on labor income, and hence (1 – t) xw is the after-tax real wage rate. The capital stock is K = 25. Assume that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals zero...
