Suppose that the labor market for high school chemistry teachers
is initially in equilibrium. Chemistry teachers use laboratory
chemicals as an important part of their jobs. New environmental
regulations ban the use of many chemicals, which means that fewer
laboratory chemicals are available for high school chemistry
teachers to use in their jobs. In the market for high school
chemistry teachers, the equilibrium wage
Second option is correct. ..
Because marginal productivity will decline because of less capital input available so wages will decline.

Question 13 1pts Suppose that the labor market for low skill jobs in California is close to a competitive labor market. Many of low skill labor are from Mexico and Central America. Some politicians are considering restricting immigration from these countries. This would cause a decrease in the supply of labor leading to an increase in the equilibrium wage and an increase in the equilibrium quantity of labor employed. a decrease in the supply of labor leading to an increase...
28) The law of diminishing returns, as it applies to labor, means that A) the marginal product of labor will eventually be a horizontal line at zero. B) the average product of labor starts to decline before the marginal product of labor. C) total output eventually decreases. D) the average product of labor increases at a decreasing rate. E) the marginal product of labor eventually decreases as more labor is added with capital held fixed. 29) A firm's short-run labor...
Suppose a commodity market is initially in equilibrium. An increase in the nation's skilled labor force then lower the marginal cost of producing each unit of output. Which of the following changes will be observed? a.The supply curve will shift upward (wrong answer ) b. The demand curve will shift downward c. the demand curve will shift upward d. the supply curve will shift downward
1 poin QUESTION 29 Suppose that a competitive market is initially in equilibrium. Then demand increases. If entering firms face the same costs as existing firms and sufficient resources are available for entering firms, a in the long run firms will suffer economie losses, leading them to exit the industry. b. the number of firms will decrease, and the market will become a monopoly c. the long run market supply curve will be perfectly elastie. d. the long-run market supply...
59. Market equilibrium A market equilibrium is a quantity-price pair in which: A. The government equates the selling and buying price of The price is such that the quantity demanded is equal to the The level of happiness among people is as high as possible. supplied quantity supp A price increase would cause people to want to buy 1 of the good. E. The supply curve and demand curve are equivalent. The Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) is equal to...
According to the marginal productivity theory of distribution, a) the market labor supply curve bends backward. b) labor distributes work hours evenly between the income and substitution effects. c) each input receives a payment equal to its marginal revenue product. d) as the wage rises in a particular profession, fewer people want to work in this profession because of the income effect Which of the following situations is a monopsomy? a) The buyer is a price searcher. b) The seller...
13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Scenario 1 10 Supp Demand Supply...
1. In partial equilibrium analysis in a product market, a single market is being examined in isolation to understand the relationship between: A. How a product's price coordinates economic transactions between at least one consumer and at least one firm. B. How a product's price coordinates profit between at least one consumer and at least one firm. C. How a product's price coordinates cost between at least one consumer and at least one firm. D. How a product's price coordinates...
1. Which of the following statements about the labor market is (are) correct? (x) The supply curve reflects job seekers and the demand curve reflects the jobs that are available. (y) Workers determine the demand for labor, and firms determine the supply of labor. (z) The minimum wage is an example of a price floor because the government has mandated a minimum price of labor. A. (x), (y) and (z) B. (x) and (y) only C. (x) and (z) only...
