1. If in an industry of many firms a single small firm's demand for labor increases, then
A. its wage rate will increase and its employment level will remain the same.
B. its wage rate will decrease and its employment level will increase.
C. its wage rate will remain the same and its employment level will increase.
D. both its wage rate and its employment level will remain the same.
2. In considering a worker's supply for labor, when wages increase the substitution effect implies that employment will ______ ( increase/decrease) and the scale effect implies that employment will ______ ( increase/decrease)
3. Suppose Oregon proposes indexing the minimum wage to inflation. (In your response, assume that the minimum wage is an effective price floor and that both factor and product markets are perfectly competitive.)
1) Describe the scale effect in this scenario.
2) Describe the anticipated substitution effect in this scenario.

Many states use the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) as a way to encourage businesses to invest in new capital equipment. Through the ITC, firms can reduce their tax burden by buying new capital equipment. This effectively reduces the price of capital goods. Discuss the situations under which the employment effects in a given industry will be larger. Consider a firm that uses both labor and capital in production. The price of capital is $20 per unit and the wage rate...

Question 1 1 pts Consider a competitive market of ice cream with upward sloping and downward sloping supply and demand, respectively. If consumers now prefer smoothie - a substitution for ice cream and at the same time, the wage rate of ice cream workers is going up, what will be the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity? Both the price and quantity will decrease. The quantity will increase but the price could either rise, fall, or remain the same....
