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?

Suppose a firm has market power and faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product, and its marginal cost curve is upward sloping. If the firm reduces its price, then A. producer surplus increases due to new buyers, but the producer surplus from existing customers declines due to the lower price. B. the sum of producer and consumer surplus remains the same, but surplus value is transferred from the producer to consumers. C. the change in producer surplus is transferred...

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...

Draw a sample (or the exact) Labor Supply curve. Now add in a sample, ME curve and MRP curve such that the equilibrium is at 10 workers and at the wage from part a. Label the equilibrium level of employment and the equilibrium...

If Janet's labor-supply curve is upward sloping when the wage is
between $8 and $12 per hour, then point on the graph
represents a possible optimum at a wage of $12 per hour. Given this
optimum at a wage of $12 per hour, an optimum of point
generates a backward-sloping labor-supply curve when
the wage is between $12 and $16 per hour.

In market A, a firm with market power faces an inverse demand curve of P = 10 – Q and a marginal cost that is constant at $2. In market B, a firm with market power faces an inverse demand curve of P = 8 – 0.75Q and a marginal cost of $2. Producer surplus in market A is _____ than in market B. $4 higher=correct how?
