Consider a market where demand and supply satisfy the following equations QD = 12 – 2 P, QS = 2P. The government is considering a minimum price policy to increase producer surplus. Explain by means of graphs how the introduction of a price floor can increase producer surplus. Find the (optimal) price floor that maximizes producer surplus.
The following graph depicts a market where a tax has been imposed. Pe was the equilibrium price before the tax was imposed, and Qe was the equilibrium quantity. After the tax, PC is the price that consumers pay, and PS is the price that producers receive. QT units are sold after the tax is imposed. NOTE: The areas B and C are rectangles that are divided by the supply curve ST. Include both sections of those rectangles when choosing your answers. What is the amount of the tax, as measured along the y axis? PC + PS Pe – PS PC – PS PC – P* Pe + PS

Problem 7. Suppose the minimum wage is imposed as a price floor in the labor market. For each potential price floor in the graph ($14, $15, and $16), determine: 7.1. What is the wage rate going to be in the market? Why? Wage rate 7.2. What is the quantity supplied and quantity demanded at that wage rate? 7.3. What is the quantity of labor actually traded at that wage rate? Why? 7.4. Will there be a surplus or shortage of labor, and how much? 7.5. Is this price floor effective and why? $16 15 14 0 80 100 110 S D 200 Quantity of labor (in thousands)
Figure 4-17 Price $8.00 7.00 6.00 5.00 4.00 30 40 50 60 70 Refer to Figure 4-17 4-17.png. If this figure represented a labor market where the equilibrium price for labor was $6 an hour and the government decided to implement a minimum wage of $8 an hour, which of the following are true? 30 people would be better off because they get to keep their jobs at the new $8 an hour minimum wage. O 20 people would be made actively worse off because they would have voluntarily worked for $6 an hour, but are now unemployed and have no job at all. there is a surplus of labor equal to 40 workers that represents an increase in unemployment. O All of the answer choices are correct

The graph below depicts the labor market for security guards in Philadelphia, PA. The state subsidizes labor through a tax credit that gives security guards $ 4 per hour worked. wage (S/hr) 18 Labor Supply 16 14 12 10 8. 6 4 Labor Demand 2 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 Q (thousand hours) 20 (a) Mark the axes with the equilibrium hours worked Q and wage W without the subsidy. The market wage is S and guards work thousand hours. (b) Mark the graph with the wage paid WS by firms after the subsidy goes into effect. Firms pay $ per hour with the subsidy. (c) Mark the graph with the total pay received by workers WR after the subsidy goes into effect. Workers receive $ per hour with the subsidy. (d) Before the subsidy guards work Q= hours per week. After the subsidy they work QS= hours per week. Label the quantity axis with hours worked Q and QS. (e) Total earnings by all janitors is $ after the subsidy. The taxpayer cost of the subsidy is $
assume that a minimum wage already exists in society. Please explain the effects on the economy of increasing the minimum wage. Be sure to discuss who gains and who loses(Consumer and Producer surplus) as well the inefficiencies that this price floor would create. Make sure you show this graphically as well.
