Is my answer correct?
Suppose that a firm's short-run production function is F(K,L) = L+VKL, where capital is fixed at K = 4. The rental rate of capital is $24 and the wage rate is $2.

Suppose that a rm's production function is Y = (3)L^(1/4)K ^(1/2), where L is the number of employees, K is the amount of capital, and Y is the quantity of output. The wage rate is w= 4, the rental rate of capital is r = 1, and the output price is p= 6. What are the optimal L and K in the long-run? What's the long-run profit?

Tiffany's company has the production function Q=2K^0.5L^0.5,
where Q measures output, K measures machine hours, and L measures
labor hours. Let the wage rate be W, and suppose that the rental
rate of capital is R=$20 and the firm wants to produce 400 units of
output. Use the Lagrange method to find the demand curve for labor
as a function of the wage rate. Your answer will have L on the left
