When deriving labour supply, we assumed that the substitution effect dominated the income effect. What impact would there be on labour supply if this was not the case? Briefly investigate how such a change could theoretically affect the imposition of a minimum wage. (Your answer is likely to benefit if it is supported by a diagram.)

The following graph illustrates a labour market. If the market wage rate is currently $5 per hour, what is the equilibrium wage rate likely to be? Wage rate($) 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 SL e.7 f.4 0 1 2 3 4 st DL 5 6 7 8 9 10 Quantity of labour a. 3 b.5 c.8 d. it is not possible to say because there are two equilibria
Calculate MPL & MRP to determine how many employees the firm should hire. 1) Calculate MPL and the MRP of the business. We can assume that price = $3 and that the business must pay a wage to its employees of $20 per day. # of employees: Output MPL MRP 1 90 120 132 4 140 5 142 6 143 A*Based on these numbers, how many employees should this business use? Explain your answer. B*Show what the graph would like this for this firm if we have lines for wage and MRP. Show where they would cross and the optimal number of employees used also C*Explain what you think would happen if demand went up for the product and now price goes up to $4. LO
33. Subject :- Accounting Country A is in autarkic equilibrium. The labor input requirement for good X is aLX = 1/3 hours. The hourly wage in country A is wA = $15? What is the price of good X? Group of answer choices Approximately $15.67. $45. $10. $5. None of the other options.
To say that the demand for labor is a derived demand means that the demand for labor depends upon the demand for the product produced by labor O the supply of labor rises when the demand for labor falls changes in the demand for labor lead to changes in the demand for the product produced by labor the quantity of labor is derived by the real wage rate
d) Illustrate and carefully explain the impact of an increase in the income tax rate from 25 percent to 35 percent on the demand for labour, supply of labour, equilibrium wage and level of employment.
Table 14.10 shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product at each of those levels, and the price at which the firm can sell output in the perfectly competitive market where it operates. a. What is the value of the marginal product at each level of labor?b. If the firm operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is $12, what is thefirm’s profit maximizing level of employment?
Related to the theory of equilibrium in the labor market. Describe the impact of the following policies on equilibrium in the labor market in detail (Assumption: Labor supply is elastic): a. Payroll Tax imposed on companies.b. Imposition of Income Tax which is borne by employees.c. Income Subsidy Imposition (Payroll Subsidy)
Consider a company operating in a competitive market. The company sells units of output and receives a price of $30 per unit, and pays a daily market wage of $285 to each worker it employs. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Value of the Marginal Product of Labor Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) WAGE (Dollars per worker) 500 450 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) 400 Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate…
Economics: Labor Economics Question: 1 An employment subsidy will cause all of the following to occur except: A. An employment subsidy is essentially a negative tax B. An employment wage subsidy reduces the net wage a firm pays C. An employment subsidy will shift the labor demand curve up D. An employment subsidy does not affect the size of a firm's workforce Question: 2 The lower the elasticity of substitution between labor and capital the less elastic is the demand for labor. This is because: a.a firm is more willing to pay higher labor costs if it is difficult to substitute capital for labor. b.a firm is less willing to pay higher labor costs if it is easy for the firm to substitute capital for labor. c.the firm’s output price falls when the firm produces more output. d.labor supply increases when wage increase e.firms always have options of substituting capital for labor. Question: 3 In terms of migration what is mean by wage convergence? a. Wages in a particular location will…
