Please answer with work on how to complete this problem.
Consider a perfectly competitive labor market in which the demand for labor isgiven by E = 48,000 – (2,000/3)W, and the supply of labor is given by E = -8,000+ 1,000W. In these equations, E is the number of employee-hours per day, and Wis the hourly wage.a. What is the equilibrium number of employee-hours each day?b. Compute the employer surplus and the workers surplusc. Suppose the government imposes a minimum wage of $24 per hour. Whatwill be the resulting number of employee-hours after the imposition of thisminimum wage?d. What is the number of employee-hours per day hired and the number ofemployeese. Based on the question © Compute the employer surplus and the workerssurplusf. Compute the dead weight loss in this labor market with minimum wageProblem V
(c) Let us now turn to the labor market for grocery store workers in Little town. Recently one of the last two grocery stores in Little town closed leaving only one employer for grocery store workers in this area. This labor market is not very competitive. What type of market structure is this? (d) Draw a typical supply curve (i.e. average expenditure), marginal expenditure, and demand for the grocery store in Little Town. Label the equilibrium wage and number of grocery store workers. (e) Suppose that some time has passed and the population has grown in Little Town and there are now many grocery stores. Now suppose that the grocery store workers unionize. Draw a graph to depict the equilibrium wage and number of workers in this new market.

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. What is the marginal product of the 6th Sales Associate? 1 cookie 2 cookies 3 cookies 4 cookies 5 cookies Part (iii): Suppose that the retail price of a cookie is $2.

Below tables shows the data on labor market of Drivers in Muscat city of Oman. Wage rate Monthly in OMR Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied 200 4500 2000 250 4000 2700 300 3700 3100 350 3400 3400 400 3300 3800 500 3200 4100 a) Suppose that the minimum wage of drivers’ in the market is above the equilibrium wage. By using the demand and supply diagram of the drivers’ market, show the equilibrium wage, the number of employed workers, number of unemployed workers. Also show the total wage payments to drivers. b) Now suppose that the labor secretary is considering a raise in the minimum wage. Explain briefly what would be the effect on unemployment and employment? c) Let’s assume that the demand for drivers was inelastic, what would you propose to increase the minimum wage or lower total wage payments to drivers? Explain briefly why d) Suppose the labor secretary revise the minimum wage at 300 OMR, how do you see this decision?
Explain and graphically illustrate what happens to the equilibrium wage (of nurses) and equilibrium quantity of labor (nurses) in California if the following two events occur: CA regulation reduces the number of patients per nurse from 5 to 3 AND CA hospitals offer more affordable childcare options for their employees (including nurses).

The following graph shows the labor market for research assistants in the fictional country of Universalia. The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour, and the equilibrium number of research assistants is 250. Suppose the government has decided to institute a $4-per-hour payroll tax on research assistants and is trying to determine whether the tax should be levied on the employer, the workers, or both (such that half the tax is collected from each side). 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 per hour) 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 dollars per 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 the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. You will not be…
Consider a small, remote town with only one employer - a pulp and paper mill. Suppose there are currently 600 workers, each of whom is paid $5000 per month. In order to attract one additional worker, the employer must increase all workers' wage to $5100 per month. What is the marginal cost to the firm of hiring the additional worker?
