Use the following schedule for a perfectly competitive resource market to answer the 4 questions that follow: # of workers Total output Product Price 0 0 $3 1 16 $3 2 26 $3 3 34 $3 4 40 $3 5 44 $3 At a wage rate of $11, how many workers would this Firm elect to employ? At a wage rate of $23, how many workers would this Firm elect to employ? How many MORE workers will the Firm hire when the wage rate is $15 instead of $30? If the product price increases from $3 to $4, then at a wage rate of $15, how many workers will this Firm employ?

What did Lewis mean when he wrote that there was a surplus of labor in agriculture? How does one measure that surplus? To what standard is labor in surplus, that is, in surplus relative to what?
Which of the following is not correct? In a labor market, the wage adjusts to balance the supply and demand for labor. A profit-maximizing firm hires workers so long as the wage rate exceeds the value of the marginal product of labor. Any event that changes the supply or demand for labor must change the equilibrium wage. Any event that changes the supply or demand for labor must change the value of the marginal product.
As the productivity of labor rises, so will the demand for labor. True – False: Explain
The table below shows the quantity demanded and supplied in the labor market for nurses in the town of Neverland, where all nurses belong to a union. Quantity Quantity Wages per Hour Demanded of Workers Supplied of Workers $20 12,000 6,000 $25 10,000 7,000 $30 8,000 8,000 $35 6,000 9,000 $40 4,000 10,000 $45 2,000 11,000 Based on the table above, answer the following: a) What would the equilibrium wage and equilibrium quantity of workers be in this market if no union existed? JUSTIFY your answer! b) Assume that the union has enough negotiating power to raise the wage to $10 per hour higher than it would otherwise be. Is there now excess demand or excess supply of workers? JUSTIFY your answer!
Suppose that in a competitive output market, firms hire labor from a competitive labor market (so that the profit maximization conditions for hiring labor are as we discussed in class).

L Q 0 0 1 12 2 20 3 26 4 30 5 32 The market price of the good this firm sells is $5.
