Charles is a volunteer fire fighter living in San Diego who coaches youth soccer to supplement their normal income. At an hourly wage rate of $40, they are willing to coach 6 hours per week. Upping the wage to $55 per hour, they are willing to coach 8 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Charles’s labor supply between the wages of $40 and $55 per hour is approximately , which means that Charles’s supply of labor over this wage range is .
The manager of a bicycle shop has found that, at a price (in Rands) of p(x) = 150 –x/4 per bicycle, x bicycles will be sold . Answer the following:• Find an expression for the total revenue from the sale of x bicycles. (Hint: Revenue = Demand *Price. )• Find the expression for the quantity to be sold q if the demand function demand is given byp = -10q + 3200• What is the number of bicycles x, sold if the price is R40
Eric is a stay-at-home parent who lives in New York City and provides math tutoring for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, he is willing to tutor 2 hours per week. At $75 per hour, he is willing to tutor 6 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Eric’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $75 per hour is approximately , which means that Eric’s supply of labor over this wage range is .

Calculating the price elasticity of supply Andrew is a retired teacher who lives in San Diego and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $25 per hour, he is willing to work 6 hours per week. At $35 per hour, he is willing to work 16 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Andrew’s labor supply between the wages of $25 and $35 per hour is approximately , which means that Andrew’s supply of labor over this wage range is .

The Lerner Index informs us of what kind of goods we'd expect to see higher markups, ie. price relative to the marginal cost of production. Which of the following statement is consistent with this perspective and the implications of the Lerner Index? Firms with goods that are highly elastic would have relatively more price setting power. All of these are consistent with the implications of the Lemer Index. Firms producing necessary goods would be expected to have relatively less price setting power. Firms producing relatively inexpensive goods would have relatively more price setting power. 0 0 O O
