**Economic Discrimination and Profitability Analysis****Scenario:**Suppose the owners of Firm A and Firm B hire only women due to discriminatory wage behavior analyzed as follows:- Formula for Firm A: $ W_F(1 + d_A) < W_M $- Formula for Firm B: $ W_F(1 + d_B) < W_M $$ W_F $ = Wage for female workers $ W_M $ = Wage for male workers $ d_A $, $ d_B $ = Discrimination coefficients for Firms A and B, respectively**Question:**If the discrimination coefficient is higher for Firm A than Firm B ($ d_A > d_B $), then which firm will earn higher profits?**Options:**A. Firm A will earn higher profits. B. Firm B will earn higher profits. C. Both firms will earn the same profits.

Suppose the owners of Firm A and Firm B hire only women because: W(1 + da) < Wmand WF(1 + d3) < WM- If the discrimination coefficient is higher for Firm A than Firm B (da > d3), then which firm will earn higher profits? A. Firm A will earn higher profits. B. Firm B will earn higher profits. C. Both firms will earn the same profits.

Please help me into solving this question. Seemed pretty difficult
1)Your firm is the only employer of labor in your market. You face a supply of labor L = (1/20)w – 40, where w is the wage you offer. Your production function is Q = 100L – L2, with dQ/dL = 100 – 2L. You face perfect competition in your product market. The current market price P = 80. Your total fixed costs of production equal 125,000. 1.a) To maximize profits, you will offer a wage equal to: a) 1,260 b) 1,320 c) 1,440 * d) 1,520 e) None of the above are correct. 1.b) If workers form a union, and demand a wage equal to 1,600, your maximum profit will decrease by _____ if you accept their wage demand. * a) 1,600 b) 3,200 c) 4,800 d) 6,400 e) None of the above are correct. 1.c)If workers in your market do not have a union, and you are able to practice 1st degree wage discrimination, paying each worker the minimum amount he/she will accept to work for you, you will hire _____ workers. a) 26 b) 32 c) 36 * d) 40 e) None of the above are correct.
The following figure shows the marginal cost [MC]. average cost (AC), and demand [D] curves for a monopsonist in the labor market. Wage ६०००० P3 B P2 Pi AB D MC AC When the monopsonist is in equilibrium, the level of labor employed is A Labor
D9) Suppose that the demand for rough laborers is LD = 100 – 10W, where W = the wage in dollars per hour and L = the number of workers. If immigration increases the number of rough laborers hired from 50 to 60, by how much will the short-run profits of employers in this market change?
Economics F 8. Consider a firm whose production function is q(L) 60L0.512 when hiring L hours of labor and assume labor expenses are the only costs to the firm. The firm is a competitive seller in the market of its products whose price is $5. a. If the firm is the competitive buyer in the labor market, derive its labor demand as a function of w, the wage rate in the labor market. b. Alternatively, suppose the firm is the monopsony in the labor market facing the inverse labor supply as w = 5L, find the wage rate it will pay the labors. c. How will the government regulate the market with the minimum wage rate to make it efficient? d. If the government sets a minimum wage equal to $200, find the hours of labors to be hired.

Solve the firm's profit maximization problem. c(y) = W1X1 + W2X2
1. Consider a firm in a perfectly competitive industry that must decide how much labor to hire (in the short run, i.e., in the background the capital is fixed). The firm’s marginal product of labor is 110-5L. It takes as given an output price P = 2, and the wage = 20. a. Please calculate the optimal quantity of labor for this firm to hire within this setting. b. Would a monopsonist employer in this same situation hire more or less labor? Why? c. Discuss a possible basis for state regulations of employment within 'company towns'.
If an industry is monopolized, then Labour Demand will be below the Labour Demand under competition. However, if the firm is also a monopsonist than labour demand can be either larger or smaller than under competition. True or False
The demand for labor for a firm operating in a perfectly competitive output market equals ____. The demand for labor for a firm with market power in the output market equals ______. Would you expect the presence of labor unions to lead to higher or lower pay for worker-members? Would you expect a higher or lower quantity of workers hired by those employers? Explain briefly.
