- This figure below shows the labor market for automobile workers. The curve labeled S is the labor supply curve, and the curves labeled D1 and D2 are the labor demand curves. On the horizontal axis, L represents the quantity of labor in the market. S Refer to Figure above. What is measured along the vertical axis on the graph? Select one: a. time spent by workers producing automobiles b. the price of automobiles c. the wage paid to automobile workers d. the quantity of automobiles producedConsider Blewitt's Farm, a small blueberry grower relative to the size of the market whose production has no impact on wages and prices. The following table presents Blewitt's production schedule for blueberries: Labor Output (Number of workers) (Pounds of blueberries) 0 WAGE (Dollars per worker) 300 270 240 210 Suppose that the market wage for blueberry pickers is $200 per worker per day, and the price of blueberries is $13 per pound. 180 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Blewitt's labor demand curve when the output price is $13 per pound. Note: Remember to plot each point between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product of for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway between 0 and 1. Line segments will automatically connect the points. 150 120 60 1 30 2 3 4 0 5 0 20 38 54 68 80 O Demand P = $13 Demand P = $15 (?)In Okennewick, 180 people are willing to spend an hour working as pizza makers for an hourly wage of $20. For each additional $5 that the wage increases above $20, an additional 45 people are willing to spend an hour working. For hourly wages of $20, $25, $30, $35, and $40, plot the daily labor supply curve for pizza makers on the following graph. WAGE (Dollars per hour) 50 45 40 35 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 45 + 90 135 180 225 270 315 LABOR (Number of workers) 360 405 450 Supply What is one explanation for why this labor supply curve is upward sloping? The opportunity cost of leisure increases as wages increase. Labor production functions exhibit diminishing marginal returns. Wages have to increase to accommodate union pressure. O Firms are willing to hire more pizza makers at a lower wage.
- Look at the graph below. Labor demand falls from D0 to D1 due to an economic recession. What is the resulting wage in the short-run due to this shift in demand? HINT: Consider whether this is a situation in which the wages are sticky or flexible.

For each additional $5 that the wage rises above $10, an additional 45 people are willing to work an hour. For wages of $10, $15, $20, $25, and $30 per hour, plot the daily labor supply curve for hostesses on the following graph.

Suppose an increase in the demand for actuaries leads to a rise in their wages, while the demand for accountants remains the same. The following graph shows the labor market for accountants in the United States. Show the effect of the rise in demand for actuaries on the U.S. labor market for accountants by shifting the labor demand curve, the labor supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both 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. QUANTITY OF LABOR о Supply Demand Demand Supply As a result, the wage rate for U.S. accountants and the level of employment ?
- Suppose the supply curve of lab assistants is given by w = 8 + 6E, while the demand curve is given by w = 40 – 2E. (Assume is in 000s of persons and w is the annual salary in thousands of dollars). Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment level.Use a graph of labor supply and labor demand to illustrate the impact of each of the folllwing events on the equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium level of employment in a labor market. (Analyze these as two separate unrelated events). Be sure to label your graph clearly to show the direction of the shift as well as an initial equilibrium and the new equilibrium after the event. A. A decline in the productivity of this type of labor B. An increase in the preference for work versus leisure.Consider the labor market for webpage designers illustrated in the graph to the right. What is the equilibrium wage? per hour. (Enter a numeric responses using an integer.) Suppose fewer firms demand webpages. Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new labor supply curve or a new labor demand curve that shows how this affects the labor market for webpage designers. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

- You are given a scenario where this a change in a factor of production or a change in demand for an item. You need to explain in sentence form how this would change demand for labor. You own a sports equipment manufacturing firm. You were just informed rent at your warehouse space would double.Which of the following is not correct? In a labor market, the wage adjusts to balance the supply and demand for labor. A profit-maximizing firm hires workers so long as the wage rate exceeds the value of the marginal product of labor. Any event that changes the supply or demand for labor must change the equilibrium wage. Any event that changes the supply or demand for labor must change the value of the marginal product.The marginal product of hiring a fourth worker is 40 units of output. The wage rate is $15, and the price of output is $2. How much will the fourth worker increase the firm's revenue? $30 $40 $60 $20 $80
