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'.

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.

Candice’s’ Cookies is a new cookie delivery company in Gainesville, Florida. The firm hires local college students to sell cookies door-to-door in higher income neighborhoods. Each of these “Sales Associates” sells cookies, which increases Candice’s Cookies’ total revenue, but must be paid an hourly wage. The graph below depicts Candice’s Cookies’ demand for labor curve when the retail price of a cookie is $2. Show Transcribed Text Part (i): Suppose that the retail price of a cookie is $2.50.

An employer who employs m workers determines that they produce: units of that product daily. Total income (in dollars) is given by: 1) ¿What is the price, per unit, when there are 30 workers? 2) Determine the marginal revenue when there are 30 workers. 3) The product of marginal income corresponds to the rate of change of income with respect to the number of active employees, at a given moment. Determine the product of marginal revenue when m = 30
The more elastic the labour supply is, the smaller the wage paid by a monopsonist. True False
A monopsonist’s products are sold in a perfect competitive market at a price of $6. If the firm’s TFC=5L+2L2 and in the short run, its marginal product equals 10. How many units of labor will she employ and what wage will she pay? Assume now the monopsonist firm’s product is in a monopoly market with demand function P=80-2Q. How many units of labor will she employ and what wage will she pay
