The firm is a monopsonist in the labor market and a price taker in the output market. Labor demand is l = 12 (i.e. every worker has a constant MRP1 of 12). Labor supply is (W) = Vw. The government imposes a minimum wage of w=12. What is the wage rate in this economy? Enter a number only. Hint: See solved problem 11.8 in Perloff.
The firm is a monopsonist in the labor market and a price taker in the output market. Labor demand is l^D=12 (i.e. every worker has a constant MRP_l of 12). Labor supply is (w)=square root of w. The government imposes a minimum wage of w=12. What is the wage rate in this economy? Enter a number only.

4. Suppose that in a competitive labor market, demand for workers is Qp- 10,000 - 100W and the labor supply is Qs 2000+190oW, where Q is the quantity of workers employed and W is the hourly wage. [io pts. each] a. What is the initial equilibrium wage and employment level? b. Suppose that the government imposes a minimum wage of s5 per hour. How many people will be employed under the new minimum wage law? Suppose that the demand for...
Suppose a monopoly producer is also a monopsonist in the labor market. Demand for the output is p = 100 - Q. The production function is Q = L, and the labor supply curve is w = 10 + L. How much labor does the firm hire? What wage is paid?
Suppose a monopoly producer is also a monopsonist in the labor market. Demand for the output is p 600-3Q. The production function is Q = 6L, and the labor supply curve is w= 20.00 + 2L. How much labor does the firm hire? What wage is paid?
9、Let W and L denote the wage and the amount of labor employed, respectively. A firm faces the labor supply curve L = 2W - 6 and the marginal product of labor is given by MPL = 20 - L. The firm sells its output in a perfectly competitive market at $0.50 each. (a) If this labor market is perfectly competitive, find the equilibrium employment, the equilibrium wage, and the number of unemployed people. (b) Suppose that the government imposes...
1) Suppose the labor market is defined by the following supply and demand curves where w represents the wage rate (measured in dollars per hour) and L represents the quantity of labor (measured in hours). Demand: w = 25 -0.005L Supply: w = 4 +0.002L a) What is the value of worker surplus and firm surplus? (1 point) b) If the government imposes a minimum wage of $13/hour, what is the value of worker surplus and firm surplus? What is...
