4 A production function is states as: 120Q1/3, with an output price of 25. Firms total revenue is stated as 11000Q1/2 with a labor supply of Q=15w. If you derive the monopsony equilibrium labor and monopsony wage what would they be.
A monopsonist's demand curve for labor is given by w= 15 – 2L, where w is the hourly wage rate and L is the number of person-hours hired. a. If the monopsonist's supply (AFC) curve is given by w= 1L, which gives rise to a marginal factor cost curve of MFC = 2L, how many units of labor will he employ and what wage will he pay? Instructions: Round your answer for labor to 1 decimal place. Round your answer for wage to the nearest penny (2 decimal places). Labor: Wage: $ b. How would your answers to part (a) be different if the monopsonist were confronted with a minimum wage bill requiring him to pay at least $7/hr? Instructions: Round your answer for labor to 1 decimal place. Round your answer for wage to the nearest whole number. Labor: Wage: $
Consider the following graph facing a monopsonist. If this firm is a profit maximizer, it would pay what wage, w, and hire how many, L, workers? a. w=$16.50;L=47. b. w=$13;L=33. c. w=$22;L=33. d. w=$29;L=47. e. None of the above.?
Consider a monopsonist that hires 4.28 units of labor at a wage of 19.26. If the marginal value placed on the last worker hired is 41.22 a.) what is the elasticity of labor supply for this monopsonist?
Describe the wage-employment outcome in a model of monopoly unionism. Explain why (and in what sense) this wage-employment outcome is inefficient.
A monopsonist's demand for labor can be written as VMPE = 40 – 0.005ED. Labor is supplied to the firm according to w = 5 + 0.01ES. Thus, the firm's marginal cost of hiring workers when it hires off of this supply schedule is MCE = 5 + 0.02ES. A. How much labor does the monopsony firm hire and at what wage when there is no minimum wage? B. How much labor does the monopsony firm hire and at what wage when it must pay a minimum wage of $25?

Draw a graph to represent the optimal hiring decision of the Halifax Regional School Board (a monopsonist). This is a conceptual problem where you must draw and clearly label your axes to earn maximum points. Show the HRBS's optimal wage and employment level too. 2B. Now using the same graph or a neatly reproduced version of A – show what you would be the wage and employment level in perfect competition. If you believe monopsony generates a deadweight loss, don't forget to highlight this area in your graph. Lastly, what would be the effects of a minimum wage on HRSB's employment and wage level?

23. Question 23 is based on the below-mentioned diagram illustrates a monopsony outcome.
