Jake and Paul run a paper company. Each week they need to produce 1,000 reams of paper to ship to their customers. The paper plant's long-run production function is Q = 4 K^0.75 L^0.25, where Q is the number of reams produced, K is the quantity of capital rented, and L is the quantity of labor hired. For this production function, the MPL = K^0.75/L ^0.75 and the MPK = 3 L^0.25/K^0.25. The weekly cost function for the paper plant is C = 10K + 2L, where C is the total weekly cost
