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...

*provide an explanation/reasoning for each answer The own-wage elasticity of labor demand is higher when no other inputs can easily be substituted for labor. the demand for the output good is less elastic. the supply of other inputs is more elastic the costs of labor are a smaller share of total production costs. none of the above Another input is more likely to be a substitute for labor if the demand for the output good is less elastic. the supply...

1. The marginal rate of technical substitution at any particular labor-capital bundle is A. the slope of the isoquant. B. the average product of labor relative to the average product of capital. C. the wage relative to the cost of capital. D. the slope of the indifference curve. E. the ratio of labor to capital. 2. The cross-elasticity of labor with respect to capital is A. the change in labor relative to a change in capital. B. the change in...

QUESTION 5 The marginal product for labor is given (MP) = 3 – 0.02*L; price of the product is $100 and wage = 200. Based on information above, the marginal product of labor at the optimal level of employment is $3 $2 $1.5 $1 2 points QUESTION 6 If the labor elasticity of output is 0.5 and the capital elasticity of output is 0.9, then the production function exhibits constant returns to scale. economies of scale. diseconomies of scale. diminishing...
