Suppose that you have the following information about the market for players on your team: Supply: W=5+N Demand: W=35-2N a. Draw this graphically and calculate the equilibrium wage and number of players on the team. b. Suppose that the players union negotiates a roster size of only 5 players on a team. Draw this graphically and calculate the new equilibrium wage number of players on the team.

Wage W5 W4 W3 W₂ W₁ Q₂ Q3 Q 4 MFC S D = MRP Quantity of Labor Larry's Lumber Mill sells lumber in a perfectly competitive product market. However, Larry's Lumber Mill is the only employer of labor in the small community where it is located. The labor market is depicted by the graph above. (a) Using the labels from the graph above, identify each of the following. (i) The optimal quantity of labor Larry's Lumber Mill will hire (ii) The wage rate Larry's Lumber Mill will pay (b) Using the labels from the graph above, identify the number of workers Larry's Lumber Mill would hire if the labor market were perfectly competitive. (c) Because of growing housing demand, the price of lumber increases. What will happen to each of the following? (i) Larry's Lumber Mill's demand for labor. Explain. (ii) The supply of labor
Suppose that the Ebay warehouse behaves as a monopsonist in the local labor market. Assume that its labor supply curve is w(LS) = 4LS and its labor demand curve is w(LD ) = 42.8−2LD. To maximize its profits: a. how many units of labor will Ebay hire and b. what wage will Ebay pay? Now suppose that the local labor union goes on strike and Ebay is eventually forced to increase the pay of its workers to a competitive wage. What wage would Ebay then have to pay? c. Find competitive wage The correct answers are: a. 4.28 b. 17.12 c. 28.52
Consider the same marginal revenue functions. Suppose now that teams must share 40% of their revenues (gate receipts) with the opposing team. MRL = 125 - 125 WL MRS = 65 - 65 WS Find the following: a) Equilibrium win percents for the both the large market and small market teams. b) Price of talent. c) Payrolls for the large market and small market teams.
Draw a wage setting curve, with the wage (S/hr) on the y-axis and the employment level on the x-axis. a. Suppose the market wage is $35/hr. Label this market wage on your graph of your wage setting curve, W1 = $35/hr. Label the corresponding level of market employment, E1. b. Draw a second graph of a firm with pricing power that uses labor in their production process. Assume their marginal cost of production is equal to the labor rate of $35/hr. Draw this firms demand curve, marginal revenue curve and marginal cost curve. (Any downward sloping demand curve and marginal revenue curve will do, as long as the y-intercept is above marginal cost (e.g., P = 100-10Q, MR = 100-20Q).) Label the firms profit maximizing level of price and quantity. c. Now, suppose a global pandemic reduces aggregate demand. How does this affect the demand curve the firm faces? How does this affect the production quantity, and labor demanded? Show this on your firm profit maximization graph. d. Assume employees…
Suppose that the competitive wage in independent hockey league is $100,000 per season. One team owner has a taste for discrimination against all foreign players. Her coefficient of discrimination against European players is 0.15, and her coefficient of discrimination against Canadian players is 0.30. a) If she pays them the market salary, what salary she feels she is paying to each group? b) Given her preferences, what salary she will consider to be “fair” for each group? c) If the supply of players were perfectly elastic, what would happen to the representation of European, Canadian, and US-born players on the team? d) Who is going to be better and who is going to be worse off in this situation? Out of: the team owner, other teams owners, European players, Canadian players, US-born players, fans.
The demand for NHL players can be written as: Qd=300-W , where Qd - number of players demanded by the league, W - wage of the player (you can think about it as of price). Marginal revenue: MR=300-2Q The supply of players: Qs=W, where Qs - number of players willing to play. ME=2Q . a) Imagine that both sides of the market are perfectly competitive. What is the equilibrium number of players in the league and what is the equilibrium wage? Show it on a graph. b) Imagine that players are represented by a union (monopoly), and the NHL teams compete for the players. What is the equilibrium number of players (Qu) and equilibrium wage (Wu) in this case? Show it on a graph. c) Imagine that NHL makes all the decision as a single entity (monopsony), and the players are not unionized. What is the equilibrium number of players (QNHL) and equilibrium wage (WNHL) in this case? Show it on a graph. d) What is going to be the equilibrium number of players in the league and what is the…
Consider this graph represents McDonald's demand for labor. Choose the 2 scenarios that would shift the demand for labor from D1 to D3. Group of answer choices McDonalds buys a machine that can do the work of 5 human employees. (Long Run) Breaking News: All McDonald's food contains traces of rat poison. People decide to eat less. The Travis Scott meal is heavily promoted on social media increasing people's desire to eat at McDonalds more often. McDonalds buys a machine that can do the work of 5 human employees. (Short Run)

Use the following image to answer: The first is a (human) worker, who must be paid $18 for each hour they spend producing chairs. The second is a robot, that costs $15 of inputs (including electricity and maintenance) for each hour it works. Assume that the sale price of chairs is always sufficiently high that it is profitable to fulfill this 80-chair order. The firm needs to make 80 chairs to fulfill its order. Assume also that the firm is profit maximizing (& therefore cost minimizing). Now suppose that the local economy increases the minimum wage, and the price of an hour of a worker’s time increases from $18 to $27. 1) What does the principle of substitution say should happen to the firm’s use of (i) worker hours and (ii) robot hours?

Economics That is, the aggregate supply of hockey players is given by w = 20 + 2L As demonstrated in the solutions, the aggregate demand for hockey players by the six hockey teams is given by w = We already solved for the perfectly competitive outcome and the monopsony outcome. Now, we'll consider the effects of a player's union. 1. First, assume that the players form a union, but the six teams are in competition. a) What is the equilibrium number of hockey players? What is the equilibrium wage? b) Team surplus? Player surplus? 2. Now, assume that the teams also form a league, so we have a bilateral monopoly. The league can easily coordinating the efforts of the six team owners, and thus the league has more negotiating power. In particular, the union's bargaining power is only B = 15. a) What is the equilibrium number of hockey players? b) What is the wage that gives players all the surplus? c) What is the wage that gives teams all the surplus? d) What is the negotiated equilibrium…
The following table describes the demand for season tickets at Powerhouse University, a perennial football power Price per ticket per game Tickets Demanded $80 105,000 $90 100,000 $100 93,000 $110 85,000 $120 75,000 Currently the stadium seats 75,000 and season tickets are priced at $110. if the university expands the stadium to seat 90,000 and they do not raise ticket prices, by how much will revenue increase per game?
