Maria can work up to 40 hours per week at Sparkle, one of many competitive firms that make and sell hand-crafted jewelry and pay $25 per hour. The budget constraint below shows the tradeoff that she faces in terms of earnings versus leisure each week. S earnings $1,000 Maria's weekly budget constraint 40 leisure (hours) A. In an effort to raise revenues, the government is considering raising income taxes on workers like Maria. How would a higher tax change Maria's budget constraint? a. The budget constraint would be unchanged. altr b. The slope would be unchanged but the line will shift out. c. The slope would be unchanged but the line will shift in. d. The slope would become steeper. e. The slope would become flatter. Explain your reasoning for part A (above) using economic concepts:
(The Economy Question 9.7) Which of the following statements is correct regarding the effects of a rise in the real wage on the labour supply of a worker? a) The substitution effect means that the worker will increase his consumption of free time. b) The income and substitution effects always enhance each other, leading to higher labour supply. c) At high wage levels, the income effect dominates the substitution effect, leading to lower labour supply. Od) The income effect means that the worker will increase his labour supply.
David works in a clothing factory. Currently, his firm pays him $40 per hour and he works 35 hours per week. Each hour he works he experiences disutility of effort from working valued at $7 per hour. In addition, should David lose his job the government will pay him an unemployment benefit of $23 per hour, for each hour he would otherwise work each week, for a maximum of 20 weeks. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic if David lost his job the expected duration of unemployment before he would find another job is 15 weeks. a. . Calculate David’s (i) employment rent per hour and his (ii) total employment rent.

Suppose that you have data at the individual level that includes information on the price of a doctor visit an individual and the number of doctor visits they go to in a given year. For simplicity, let's say that those with more generous plans pay less for a doctor's visit, while those with less generous plans pay more for a visit. You graph the relationship between the price individual pays for doctor visits against the number of visits, and you see a downward sloping line; let's call this "measured demand." The problem of "endogeneity" discussed this week could arise here if individuals who know they go to the doctor frequently buy_ generous coverage while those who know they rarely go to the generous coverage. This would imply that the "measured" demand curve is doctor purchase. more elastic than the "true" demand curve. more; less more; more less; less less; more
Leslie works from home as an IT consultant and consumes only two goods: work (W), which is measured in hours, and consumption (C), which is measured in dollars. Normally she works 40 hours a week and is paid $25 per hour. However, she can be contracted for an additional 30 hours a week at $44 per hour. Leslie cannot work for more than 70 hours a week. For all following questions, round answers to 3 decimal places where necessary. a) What is the maximum consumption available to Leslie if she works 35 hours a week? b) What is the minimum number of hours Leslie must work to attain $600 of consumption? c) At which level of consumption does the kink in the budget line occur? d) What is the maximum consumption available to Leslie if she works 70 hours a week?
Consider Tralfamadore, a hypothetical country that produces only cakes. In 2017, a cake is priced at $4.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of cakes that can be bought with $900. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a cake, and always round down to the nearest whole cake. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 cakes, the answer should be 1 cake. Year Price of a Cake Cakes Bought with $900 (Dollars) (Quantity) 2017 4.00 2018 Suppose the government of Tralfamadore cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts. In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 20% by 2018. Assuming monetary neutrality holds, complete the second row of the table with the new price of a cake and the new quantity of cakes that can be bought with $900 in 2018. The impact of the government's decision to raise revenue by printing…
Leslie works from home as an IT consultant and consumes only two goods: work (W), which is measured in hours, and consumption (C), which is measured in dollars. Normally she works 40 hours a week and is paid $25 per hour. However, she can be contracted for an additional 30 hours a week at $44 per hour. Leslie cannot work for more than 70 hours a week. For all following questions, round answers to 3 decimal places where necessary. e) What is the minimum number of hours Leslie must work to attain $2056 of consumption a week? Suppose, in parts ( ƒ ) to (h), that the government subsidises workers' wages at $2 for every hour worked. f) At what level of consumption does the kink in this new budget line occur? g) What is the maximum consumption available to Leslie if she works 70 hours a week given this subsidy? h) How many hours fewer does Leslie need to work to attain the maximum level of consumption she could achieve before the subsidy?
Roger's World of Pets is considering adding cat grooming to the array of goods and services he currently provides. He estimates that consumers would be willing to pay $25 per cat for a 1 hr. cat grooming appointment. He also estimates that he would need 2 workers per cat (1 to hold the cat down and the other to groom the cat). Wages in this labor market are $15/hr. Using marginal analysis, Roger should: introduce cat grooming. do not offer cat grooming be on the fence ("indifferent") about introducing cat grooming. be unable to tell whether cat grooming is a good idea because we don't know how much he pays in rent for his shop.
Are the following statements true, false, or uncertain? Explain briefly but clearly. * Suppose beekeepers earned twice as much on average in 2015 than they did in 1975, even after adjusting for inflation and even though the equipment and technology they use have not changed in any way whatsoever. Nonetheless, the rise in their wages was still likely caused by technological change, albeit through an effect on supply rather than demand. Suppose a new law made it easier for restaurant waiters in Chicago to form labor unions, and over the next three years wages rose at non-unionized restaurants in Chicago. Then the threat and/or product market effects were greater in magnitude than the spillover effect. Provide short, clear answers to the following questions The standard deviation of college graduates’ annual incomes has grown over time, but the standard deviation of their annual consumption spending has not changed much. How is this possible? What can you learn from the comparison…
