A factory produces widgets. The total cost (in naira) is \(C = 5000 + 20L + 15K\), where \(L\) is the number of labour‑hours and \(K\) is the number of capital units. The revenue (in naira) is \(R = 50Q\), where output \(Q\) is given by the production function \(Q = 2\sqrt{L}\sqrt{K}\). If the factory uses \(K = 100\) capital units and aims for a profit of \(\text{₦}5{,}000\), determine the required labour‑hours \(L\). Then, if the labour cost per hour increases by 10 %, calculate the new profit (to the nearest naira).
