WAGE RATE Assume that the accounting and actuarial industries employ people with similar skills. Suppose an increase in the demand for actuaries leads to a rise in their wages, while the demand for accountants remains the same. The following graph shows the labor market for accountants in the United States. Show the effect of the rise in demand for actuaries on the U.S. labor market for accountants by shifting the labor demand curve, the labor supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. QUANTITY OF LABOR о Supply Demand Demand Supply As a result, the wage rate for U.S. accountants and the level of employment ?
Suppose the supply curve of lab assistants is given by w = 8 + 6E, while the demand curve is given by w = 40 – 2E. (Assume is in 000s of persons and w is the annual salary in thousands of dollars). Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment level.
The human resource manager of the Culinary Chameleon makes the following claim: “Our workers make an average of $400 per week. We produce $4500 worth of output each week using only 10 workers. That averages out to $450 per worker per week. We should therefore hire more people as long as the wage is $400 per week." Assess this claim - is the reasoning solid or do you disagree? 2.
If the hourly wage is $11, which of the below statements is true? Table 18.2 Workers Total Revenue per Hour 1 $30 $50 3 $65 4 $75 $80
Why might a labor supply curve be backward bending? Explain your answer using the concepts of the income effect and the substitution effect. (You can explain your answer using words or you can draw a graph accompanied with a brief explanation)
How many employees should Martin's farm employ? How many employees should Martin's farm employ if the price he received per gallon of milk rose to $2.50?
1. Assume the quantity of envelopes licked per hour by Sticky Gums, Inc., is where L is the number of laborers hired per hour by the firm. Assume further that the envelope licking business is perfectly competitive with a market price of 1 cent per envelope. A. How much labor would be hired at a competitive wage of $10? What about $5? $2? Use these results to sketch a demand curve for labor. B. Assume that Sticky Gums hires its labor at an hourly wage of $10 what quantity of envelopes will be licked when the price of a licked envelope is 2 cents? What about 5 cents? 10 cents? Use your results to sketch a supply curve for licked envelopes.
The graph below depicts equilibrium in the labor market for yoga instructors. Yoga has become increasingly popular as an alternative, or even a complement, to other forms of exercise, such as working out in a gym or running. Suppose that medical research shows that practicing yoga three times a week greatly increases the cardiovascular health of senior citizens. This increases the demand for yoga classes and studios, which in turn leads to an increase in price for yoga. How will this impact the labor market for yoga instructors? Illustrate on the graph below by shifting a curve or curves.
The marginal product of labor for a firm is given by: MPL = 112 - 3H, where H is the number of hours they hire workers to work. For example, the marginal product of the first hour of labor would be 112 - 3*1, and the marginal product of the second hour of labor would be 112 - 3*2, and so on. If the market wage is $18 per hour, how many hours of labor will this firm hire? Round your final answer to two decimal places.
