C: The Battle for Ritzy Cinema II - this time, it's personnel Patrons at the Ritzy cinema can either buy their tickets at the counter (from a person) or enter their credit card into a machine, who will print out a ticket. A long line of people would like to work for the Ritzy. Ticket machines can be ordered from Germany in 6 months. 6. Prior to the battle for wages, the ritzy had two machines and four members of staff. Staff were paid £50/day while the machines were rented for £10/day. What were the Ritzy's costs? 7. After the battle for wages, the staff were paid £80/day. Assuming that (i) workers and machines are neither perfect compliments nor perfect substitutes and (ii) the Ritzy doesn't want to open for fewer hours-outline how the Ritzy might respond in the short run. How many workers will it employ? How many machines? What will happen to its costs? 8. Outline how the Ritzy cinema might respond in the long-run. (Exact numbers not needed -a graphical explanation is fine.)

6. Monopsony basics Consider a newspaper in a small town that has monopsony power in hiring journalists. The following table shows the labor hours that will be supplied at each of the given hourly wages, as well as the total cost of labor at each quantity of labor. Suppose the newspaper's demand for labor as a function MVP of the marginal value product of labor (MVPL) is given by L= 5.5- 20 Compute the marginal expense (MEL) and marginal value product (MVPL) of adding an additional hour at each quantity and enter the values into the following table. Hourly Wage WAGE (Dollars per hour) 90 80 60 10 100 40 20 30 20 40 70 10 50 0 30 The following graph depicts the supply of labor in this market.
