Answer
The wage is decided from the given function
W=8+0.4L
W=wage the marginal labor cost
L=number of labor hours
L=32
W=8+0.4*32
W=20.8
TC=W*L=32*20.8=665.5
and
L=31
W=8+0.4*31=20.4
TC=20.4*31=632.4
MC of labor =665.5-632.4=33.1
the MC of labor is $33.1

Consider a monoposnistic labor market where one firm faces an upward sloping supply curve w = 8 + 0.2E and its demand for labor is given by VMPe = 50 - 0.3E. Thus it’s marginal cost of hiring is MCe = 8 + 0.4E. What level of E and w does the firm pick? What is worker and firm surplus? How does these values change if a minimum wage of $30 is instituted?

On a separate sheet of paper, draw a labor supply and demand diagram for a single firm in a competitive labor market. Remember, a competitive firm can hire as many workers as it likes at the market wage w* so supply of labor to the firm is horizontal. Label your axes, your supply and demand curves, and labor market equilibrium, w*, E*. On a second graph, draw a labor supply and demand diagram for a non-discriminating monopsonist, where the monopsonist...
