In 2019, the country of Cheeseling was suffering from a period of high unemployment. The new president, Chad Cheddar, appointed Merry Parmesan as his chief economist. Ms. Parmesan and her staff estimated these supply and demand curves for labor from data obtained from the secretary of labor, Sore Mozzarella: Q=190-6W Qg=10W-18 where 'Q' is the quantity of labor supplied/demanded and 'W' is the wage rate in strings, the currency of Cheeseling. The equilibrium wage is strings per hour. (Enter your response as an integer)

In the short run one half of the labour force has high skills and one half low skills (in terms of Figure 13.2 this means that the short-run supply curve is vertical at 0.5). The relative demand for the high-skill workers is given by W = 100×0.4×(1− f), where W is the wage premium and f is the fraction that is skilled. The premium is measured in percent. (a) Illustrate the supply and demand curves graphically, and compute the skill premium going to the high-skill workers in the short run by solving the two equations. (b) If demand increases to W = 100 × 0.6 × (1 − f) what is the new premium? Illustrate your answer graphically. Figure 13.2
In a purely competitive labor market (a), market labor supply S and market labor demand D determine the equilibrium wage rate Wc and the equilibrium number of workers Qc . Each individual competitive firm (b) takes this competitive wage Wc as given. Thus, the individual firm’s labor supply curve s = MRC is perfectly elastic at the going wage Wc . Its labor demand curve, d, is its MRP curve (here labeled mrp). The firm maximizes its profit by hiring workers up to where MRP = MRC. Area 0abc represents both the firm’s total revenue and its total cost. The green area is its total wage cost; the blue area is its nonlabor costs, including a normal profit—that is, the firm’s payments to the suppliers of land, capital, and entrepreneurship. This firm’s labor demand curve d in graph (b) slopes downward because: a. the law of diminishing marginal utility applies. b. the law of diminishing returns applies. c. the firm must lower its price to sell additional units of its product. d. the firm is a…
Consider the potted plant industry, which has a competitive labor market. A potted plant sells for $10. The Lth worker hired in the industry produces an additional 1000 – L potted plants. The labor supply curve in the potted plant industry is W = 1000 + 10L. Find the equilibrium wage hired in the industry. Find the equilibrium number of workers hired in the industry.

Candice’s’ Cookies is a new cookie delivery company in Gainesville, Florida. The firm hires local college students to sell cookies door-to-door in higher income neighborhoods. Each of these “Sales Associates” sells cookies, which increases Candice’s Cookies’ total revenue, but must be paid an hourly wage. The graph below depicts Candice’s Cookies’ demand for labor curve when the retail price of a cookie is $2. Show Transcribed Text Part (i): Suppose that the retail price of a cookie is $2.50. What is the marginal product of the 4th Sales Associate? 1 cookie 2 cookies 3 cookies 4 cookies 5 cookies Part (ii): Suppose that the retail price of a cookie is $2.50.

Suppose the hourly wage rate is $14, the rental price of capital is $2 and the price of output is constant at $42 per unit. Firm's production technology is q = 4K0.25 0.75, the marginal product of employment is MPE =3K0.25E-0.25 and the marginal product of capital is MPK = K™ 0.75 0.75. What is firm's optimal demand of labor if firm plans to produce q=19 units of outputs in the long-run? (please keep 1 decimal place in your answer)
Assume that the marginal cost of hiring additional labor (MCL), the market supply of labor (SL), and the market demand for labor (DL) are determined by the following equations, where w refers to wage and L refers to labor: MCL: w=2+7L SL: w=2+5L DL: w=42−3L Determine how many workers stay unemployed under a monopsony as compared with a perfectly competitive market, assuming firms want to maximize profits in both situations.
