3. The demand and supply functions for labor are as follows: Demand: Supply: L 0.5w L 90- w the number of workers e L is the number of workers demanded by firms, L' is supplied by households, and w is the e per worker (ie. the price of labor). wag b. Suppose the government sets a minimum wage of 70. At this minimum wage, how there many workers do firms want to employ? How many workers want to work? Is...
The wage rate in a labor market is $20. At this wage, firms hire 300 million hours of work and workers supply 300 million hours. The elasticity of labor demand is -0.2 and the elasticity of labor supply is 0.1. Then the government imposes a payroll tax of $1 per hour of work on firms. After the tax is imposed, [15 points] How much does it cost firms to hire an hour of labor, including cash wage plus tax?...
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...
3. The demand and supply functions for labor are as follows: Supply: L0.5w where Ld is the number of workers demanded by firms, L' is the number of workers supplied by households, and w is the wage per worker (i.e. the price of labor). Solve for the equilibrium wage and the equilibrium number of workers. Illustrate this equilibrium in a graph with w on the vertical axis and L on the horizontal axis. a. b. Suppose the government sets a...
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...
Suppose that the market inverse demand and supply schedules for rental apartments in the city of Auckland are as given by the following equations: Demand: P = 2700 – 0.12QD Supply: P = –300 + 0.12QS What is the market equilibrium rental price per month and the market equilibrium number of apartments demanded and supplied? Show on graph If the local authority can enforce a rent-control law that sets the maximum monthly rent at $900, will there be a...
1 Suppose the demand for shoes is given by: QD= 210 -2P. The supply of shoes is given by: QS= 9P -120. Calculate the Gains from Trade (also known as Economic Surplus) that would exist in this market in a competitive equilibrium. 2 Suppose the demand for jackets was given by: QD= 140 -0.4P. The supply of jackets is given by: QS= 4P -80. Suppose the price was $49 per jacket. Calculate whether there is a surplus or shortage of...
