(a) At what weekly output is marginal cost equal to average variable cost?
(b) What is the minimum product price at which the firm will operate in the short-run?
(c) How many workers should the firm employ to maximize profits?
(d) Calculate the firm's point elasticity of demand for labor at the equilibrium in (c) above.
help anyone? i'm stuck on part A...

the formula is AVC = W / APL and MC = W / MPL
once u get those number just plug and make it equal. you'll get L = 5 and Q = 565
