Suppose demand for labor is given by the equation Pp = 25 - 2Qp and supply for labor is given by the equation Ps = 5 + 2Qs. Price is the hourly wage rate in dollars and quantity measures the number of workers. Imposing a minimum wage of $17 by government will O create a labor surplus of 2 and firms will hire 5 workers. O create unemployment of 0 and firms will hire 4 workers. create a labor shortage of 0 and firms will hire 5 workers. O create unemployment of 2 and firms will hire 4 workers. 42. ans 20 MacBook Air 30 F3 esc F1 F2 F4 F5 $ % 4 6. Q W E R Y tab A S D F G ps lock # 3

5. Consider a perfectly competitive labor market in which a binding minimum wage is imposed. For this market, let ED represent the elasticity of labor demand and ES represent the elasticity of labor supply. In which of the following situations will the minimum wage be most beneficial to workers? O ED 1/2 and ES = 1/2 OED-1 and ES = 2 OED-2 and ES = 1 O ED=-3 and ES=1/4 ED=-4 and ES=4
Suppose labor demand for low-skilled workers in the United States is w = 35 – 0.2Ewhere E is the number of workers (in millions) and w is the hourly wage. There are 100 million domestic U.S. low-skilled workers who supply labor inelastically. If the U.S. opened its borders to immigration, 25 million low-skill immigrants would enter the U.S. and supply labor inelastically. What is the market-clearing wage if immigration is not allowed? What is the market-clearing wage with open borders?
