4) The demand for labor by an industry is given by the curve L = 1200 - 10w, where L is the labor demanded per day and w is the wage rate. The supply curve is given by L = 20w. What the equilibrium wage rate and quantity of labor hired? What is the economic rent earned by workers? 5) Using the same information as in Exercise 4 above, suppose now that the only labor available is controlled by a monopolistic labor union that wishes to maximize the rent earned by union members. What will be the quantity of labor employed and the wage rate? How does your answer compare with your answer to Exercise 8? Discuss. 6) Suppose gold (G) and silver (S) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also that the supplies of both are fixed in the short run (QG = 75 and Qs = 300) and that the demands for gold and silver are given by the following equations: PG=975-QG +0.5PS and What are the equilibrium prices of gold and silver? Ps= 600-Qs+ 0.5PG.
