3. Union and Labor Market Efficiency (a) Given an inverse labor demand function of w = 30 - 0.02LD, find the elasticity of labor demand when w = 10. Does the firm pay out more to its workers by increasing wages?
You are a labor economist trying to evaluate whether the labor market for computer scientists is competitive or monopsonistic. Based on previous research, you know that the production function for computers depends only on labor input: Y = -0.5L^2 + 10L; where Y is the output of computers and L is the quantity of labor used. The price of a computer is p = 2. You also know that the labor supply, as a function of the wage, for computer scientists is the following, where w is the wage per unit of labor: L = -10 + w. a. Find the equilibrium wages and employment (wc; Lc) that would prevail if the market for computer scientists were competitive. [Remember that a competitive firm takes the wage as given : that is, it assumes that the quantity of workers that it hires has no effect on the price of the next worker. (Of course, the equilibrium wage must equate demand and supply)].
Under the Wagner Act (NLRA), the only time workers are entitled to union representation is when the union has the support of the majority of workers at the workplace. False True
B. Consider a firm who sells output at p=10 and has a short run production function Q(L)=20L-L2. Its wage rate function is w=40+2.5L. Suppose the firm is a monopsonist, how much labor will it hire to maximize profits?
The inverse labour demand curve of a monopsonist employer is W = 38,500 – 112L, where W is the annual salary and L is the number of workers hired. The labor supply is given by W = 10,700 + 100L. (a) The marginal expenditure equation is ME= . Do not include a comma in your answer. Please use capital letters (e.g. L not l) (b) To the nearest integer, the monopsonist would hire workers and, given that number of workers, the salary they would pay is, rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g. 4.12) . Do not include a comma in your answer.
Refer to Figure 14.6. Calculate the quantity of labor hired by a monopsonist. 250 laborers 25 laborers 75 laborers 50 laborers ☐ 125 laborers
The inverse labour demand curve of a monopsonist employer is W = 41,500 – 101L, where W is the annual salary and L is the number of workers hired. The labor supply is given by W = 9,800 + 109L. (a) The marginal expenditure equation is ME=__________ (b) To the nearest integer, the monopsonist would hire ______ workers and, given that number of workers, the salary they would pay is, rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g. 4.12) ____
Solve for and fill in the missing portions of the following table to derive the monopsonist's derived demand curve for labor and answer the following question: Number of Total Physical Marginal Physical Product Marginal Revenue Workers Product Price Product 246 9,557.10 32.70 1 32.70 247 9,589.75 32.65 1 32.65 248 9,622.35 32.60 1 32.60 249 9,654.90 32.55 1 32.55 250 9,687.40 32.50 1 32.50 251 9,719.85 32.45 1 32.45 252 9,752.25 32.40 1 32.40 253 9,784.60 1 32.35 254 9,816.90 32.30 1 32.30 Question: What is the marginal revenue from hiring the 253rd worker? $32.40 $32.30 $32.35
23. Question 23 is based on the below-mentioned diagram illustrates a monopsony outcome. The monopsony firm MRP = marginal revenue product, MFC = marginal factor cost and the wage is determined by the labour supply curve at this level of output. In the absence of a union the monopsony firm hires Lm workers and pays them Wm. MFC wage Wu Wm Lm S O a. hire less than Lm workers. Ob. hire a maximum of Lm workers. Ochire greater than Lm workers. Od. None of the above. MRP Quantity of labor Suppose the union and firm negotiates a wage above Wu, the firm will A
Suppose the market supply is given by L=2.8w. Assume the product market is competitive and the product price is p=$12. Also suppose MPL=8.6-0.8L and that the firm has monopsony power. A.Graph the marginal revenue product of labour. The slope of this curve is equal to The vertical intercept of this curve is equal to .Write the formula for the inverse supply of labour and graph the supply curve. The slope of this supply curve is B. For this firm, the fully simplified formula for marginal cost is MC₁ = __ L (Enter the value which completes the formula. Do not enter the variable, it has been given) Illustrate this market graphically, including accurate numbers for slopes and intercepts. Write the condition which the monopsonist's optimal choice of labour must satisfy. This monopsonist will choose employment level . At this employment level, the firm will offer the wage $ , and the value marginal product of labour is $ The average cost of labour for this monopsonist is $ and the firm's…
The more elastic the labour supply is, the smaller the wage paid by a monopsonist. True False
3. A monopsonist's inverse demand for labor can be written as D-'(w) = VMP(E) = 40 – 0.005ED. Labor is supplied to the firm according to the inverse supply function S-(w) s(E) = w = 5+ 0.01E3. %3D
