The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Sophos. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and theequilibrium number of laboratory aides is 150.Suppose the federal government of Sophos has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whetherthe tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party).Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars perhour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollarsper hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in theWage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.WAGE (Dollars per hour)SupplyD 30 80 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300LABOR (Number of workers)Levied onEmployers(Dollars per hour)402Der and+iII I ITax ProposalLevied onWorkers(Dollars perhour)0Graph Input ToolMarket for Laboratory AidesWage(Dollars per hour)42Quantity Hired(Number ofworkers)Labor Demanded(Number of workers)Demand ShifterTax Levied onEmployers(Dollars per hour)For each of the proposals, use the previous graph to determine the new number of laboratory aides hired.

Definitions: "Cost" is the actual expense of nurse wages, IV bags, meals, medications, lab tests and payment for the room and bed. "Charges" is the amount the hospital puts on its bill. Almost no one pays that. "Revenue" is the actual cash collected for the service. It is generally comprised of insurance payments and patient copayments. Part 1: Hospital Case Study: The number of patients at Harbordale Hospital increased from 120 to 144 from Monday to Tuesday. The hospital’s costs increased $720,000 to $722,000 as temporary nurses were called in to deal with the heavy patient load. Question: Explain in detail the changes Harbordale Hospital is experiencing.
