the profite function z=pY-rK-wL

where p=price of output, r=price of capital and w=price of


labour. and the constraint is Y=f(K,L). now substituting
Y=f(K,L) into profite function we get Z=pf(K,L)-rK-wL.
now 1st order condition for max profit (partial derivative
and setting equal to zero) dz/dk= pfK-r=0
