Consider a perfectly competitive labor market in which the demand for labor isgiven by E = 48,000 – (2,000/3)W, and the supply of labor is given by E = -8,000+ 1,000W. In these equations, E is the number of employee-hours per day, and Wis the hourly wage.a. What is the equilibrium number of employee-hours each day?b. Compute the employer surplus and the workers surplusc. Suppose the government imposes a minimum wage of $24 per hour. Whatwill be the resulting number of employee-hours after the imposition of thisminimum wage?d. What is the number of employee-hours per day hired and the number ofemployeese. Based on the question © Compute the employer surplus and the workerssurplusf. Compute the dead weight loss in this labor market with minimum wageProblem V
Suppose the market supply is given by L=2.8w. Assume the product market is competitive and the product price is p=$12. Also suppose MPL=8.6-0.8L and that the firm has monopsony power. A.Graph the marginal revenue product of labour. The slope of this curve is equal to The vertical intercept of this curve is equal to .Write the formula for the inverse supply of labour and graph the supply curve. The slope of this supply curve is B. For this firm, the fully simplified formula for marginal cost is MC₁ = __ L (Enter the value which completes the formula. Do not enter the variable, it has been given) Illustrate this market graphically, including accurate numbers for slopes and intercepts. Write the condition which the monopsonist's optimal choice of labour must satisfy. This monopsonist will choose employment level . At this employment level, the firm will offer the wage $ , and the value marginal product of labour is $ The average cost of labour for this monopsonist is $ and the firm's…
We discussed the impacts of both a monopsony as well a monopoly on the labour market. Combine the results of these two situations to discuss the ramifications on wages and employment if a firm was both a monopoly and monopsony.
