A firm uses a production function of the form Y=z*K^0.33*Nd^0.67 and chooses labor input Nd to maximize profits taking the wage rate w that it pays per unit of labor as given. First, write down the profit function of the firm. Assume z=10, K=100, and wage w = $20. The government now introduces a wage subsidy to help out the firm. The wage subsidy s = $4 per unit of work.
