A firms production function is given by Q = K^L. The marginal products of labor and capital are,
respectively, MPL=K^2 and MPK=2KL. Further, the wage rate is r=20 and the rental rate of

minimize their cost. How much more the firm can cut its costs in the long run to produce the
same level of output?
