QUESTION 7 Which of the following will result in a leftward shift of the market demand curve for labor (ceteris paribus)? a. an increase in labor productivity b.a decrease in the firm's product price Oc an increase in demand for the firm's product Od an increase in the wage rate
The graph above shows a labor market where the downward-sloping curve is firm demand for labor and the upward-sloping curve is the worker supply curve. The vertical axis shows the hourly wage and the horizontal axis shows the number of full-time workers. Suppose a minimum wage of $9 is instituted. How many unemployed workers will result from the minimum wage? (Note: An unemployed worker is anyone who wants to work but cannot find a job.)
Suppose that Congress caps executive pay at a level below the equilibrium. The quantity of executives demanded will OA. decrease; decrease OB. decrease; increase OC. increase; decrease D. increase; increase the quantity of executives supplied will Executive pay will rise The outcome is inefficient because OA. government employees will move to the private sector OB. the marginal cost of work to executives exceeds the marginal benefit to firms OC. the marginal benefit to firms exceeds the marginal cost of work to executives OD. there is surplus of executives and some become unemployed с Oll O
WAGES (Dollars perteacher) Suppose that the states pass a law that prohibits home schooling and requires that all children attend public schools. Assume home- schooled children were being taught by parents who would not become public school teachers as a result of the new legislation. The following graph depicts the labor market for public school teachers. The market for public school teachers is perfectly competitive. Adjust the graph to show the effect of this legislation on the market for public school teachers. Note: Select and drag one of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. The wages for teachers will QUANTITY (Teachers) Supply Demand Demand Supply ? and the quantity of teachers in the classroom will
Referred to the above graph of the labor market. The government decides to impose a wage tax as shown on the graph. If the number of workers hired after the imposition of the tax is 800 then the total amount of tax is $___
Suppose that John is a high-school drop out with a market wage of $8. a. Give two reasons why John' MRPL might increase if the firm pays an efficiency wage? b. The relationship between John's wage and MRPL is given in the table below. What is the efficient wage for John? Wage ($/hour) MRPL ($/hour) $8 $8.00 $9 $9.50 $10 $11.00 $11 $12.25 $12 $13.00 $13 $13.50 $14 $14.00
Table 14.12 shows the quantity demanded and supplied in the labor market for driving city buses in the town ofUnionville, where all the bus drivers belong to a union. a. What would the equilibrium wage and quantity be in this market if no union existed?b. Assume that the union has enough negotiating power to raise the wage to $4 per hour higher than it wouldotherwise be. Is there now excess demand or excess supply of labor?
Suppose a firm purchases labor in a competitive labor market and sells its product in a competitive product market. The firm’s elasticity of demand for labor is -0.4. Suppose the wage increases by 5 percent. What will happen to the number of workers hired by the firm? What will happen to the marginal productivity of the last worker hired by the firm?
1. Assume the quantity of envelopes licked per hour by Sticky Gums, Inc., is where L is the number of laborers hired per hour by the firm. Assume further that the envelope licking business is perfectly competitive with a market price of 1 cent per envelope. A. How much labor would be hired at a competitive wage of $10? What about $5? $2? Use these results to sketch a demand curve for labor. B. Assume that Sticky Gums hires its labor at an hourly wage of $10 what quantity of envelopes will be licked when the price of a licked envelope is 2 cents? What about 5 cents? 10 cents? Use your results to sketch a supply curve for licked envelopes.
The graph below depicts equilibrium in the labor market for yoga instructors. Yoga has become increasingly popular as an alternative, or even a complement, to other forms of exercise, such as working out in a gym or running. Suppose that medical research shows that practicing yoga three times a week greatly increases the cardiovascular health of senior citizens. This increases the demand for yoga classes and studios, which in turn leads to an increase in price for yoga. How will this impact the labor market for yoga instructors? Illustrate on the graph below by shifting a curve or curves.
