4. Suppose the hourly marginal revenue product of all workers in a particular labour market isMRPL = 20 - L, where L = the number of workers. The hourly wage rate for women in thismarket is W=$5.75. What is the gap between MRPL and wage in this labour market if L = 12?Is this gap a reliable measure of discrimination against women in this market?

3. Suppose that MRPL = 200 - L for female workers, where L = the number of female workers and MRPL is measured in dollars per hour. The going wage for female workers is $50 per hour, but employer A discriminates against these workers and has a discrimination coefficient, D, of $4 per hour. Graph the MRPL curve and show how many female workers employer A hires. How much profit has employer A lost by discriminating?

25. In the graphs below, we start with equal numbers of men and women working in each of the three occupations "A." "B." and "C." The crowding model of occupational discrimination predicts that if women workers were to be segregated into occupation "C" it would results in lower wages for women, relative to men as: 0 D QA Occupation A Q W wh D S qB Occupation B W We Q0 S qC Occupation C Q the supply of labor in "C" rises and the wage for women falls. O both (a) the supply of labor falls in "A" and "B," and the wages for men rise AND (b) the supply of labor in "C" rises and the wage for women falls. O the demand for women's labor decreases in occupation 'C O the supply of labor falls in "A" and "B" and the wages for men rise.
