Which of the following are the market conditions necessary for the superstar phenomenon to arise? Every customer in the market wants to enjoy the goods supplied by the best producer. The good is produced with a technology that allows the best producer to supply every customer at a low cost. Companies need to have a lot of capital to make the superstar phenomenon work. There must be a huge difference in the ability between the superstar and other competing workers in the market

Michael Scott owns a bakery and is considering hiring two more workers, Pam and Jim. Suppose that the market wage for another worker is $90 per day. Pam would generate a daily marginal product of 5 cakes, while Jim would generate a marginal product of 4 cakes. If cakes sell for $40 each and the ingredients for each cake cost $20, what should Michael Scott do? Group of answer choices Not hire either worker Only hire Jim Hire both Pam and Jim Only hire Pam
Solving for the equilibrium wage and quantity is a multi-step procedure. First, you will need the marginal resource cost (MRC) curve. This curve gives the marginal cost of hiring an additional nurse (in cost per hour). Since attracting an additional nurse requires raising the wage rate for all nurses, this cost is above the wage rate required for that additional nurse. If the inverse supply curve is given as W = a + bQs, the marginal resource cost is: MRC = a + 2bQs Essentially, it has the same y-axis intercept as the inverse supply curve, but twice the slope. With a single buyer there isn’t a demand curve, but what we would think of the demand curve is the marginal value curve. In this case, it gives the marginal value product (in dollars per hour) of nurses. Hence, you can replace W in the inverse demand function with MVP. To find the quantity of nurses hired, set MRC = MVP and solve: Q. 6. With a monopsony, how many nurses are hired?
When a factor market has only one demander of labor, the market is labeled a (n) (A) Natural mpnopoly (B) Labor union (C) Competitive market (D) Monopsony (E) Oligopoly
The table below shows the quantity demanded and supplied at various wage rates for a competitive market. Wage Rate Quantity of Workers Demanded Quantity of Workers Supplied $100 5 50 90 10 45 80 20 40 70 35 35 60 50 30 If the workers form a union and negotiate a weekly wage of $90, how many workers will be supplied and demanded? Multiple Choice The quantity demand will be 10 and the quantity supplied will be 35. The quantity demanded will be 10 and the quantity supplied will be 45. The quantity demand and supplied will both be 35. The quantity demanded will be 35 and the quantity supplied will be 45.
Oberlin, Ohio is a small town in Ohio home to Oberlin College. Oberlin College employs more than half of people in the town. What market structure best applies to the market for workers in Oberlin? Why?
To be economically successful, the entrepreneur must combine resources in a manner that increases their value. produce a good that consumers value less than the resources used to produce it. use only personal financial capital to avoid the interest payments that would have to be paid if the money is borrowed from the bank. transform or rearrange resources to maximize the entrepreneur's cost of production.
darsh is tasked with projecting financial compensation policy strategies for new hires in his relatively successful medium sized distillery. Given that the labor market seems steady and stable, the most likely strategy darsh will utilizie for compensation policy is: market lead market match market lag pay mix
When hiring additional workers, a firm operating in a perfectly competitive labor market will have to offer higher wages to hire additional workers, and the old workers will also receive the new, higher wage. be able to hire additional workers at lower wages because the new workers have been unemployed. be able to hire additional workers without offering higher wages. have to offer higher wages to hire additional workers, but the old workers do not get the higher wage.
In a purely competitive labor market (a), market labor supply S and market labor demand D determine the equilibrium wage rate Wc and the equilibrium number of workers Qc . Each individual competitive firm (b) takes this competitive wage Wc as given. Thus, the individual firm’s labor supply curve s = MRC is perfectly elastic at the going wage Wc . Its labor demand curve, d, is its MRP curve (here labeled mrp). The firm maximizes its profit by hiring workers up to where MRP = MRC. Area 0abc represents both the firm’s total revenue and its total cost. The green area is its total wage cost; the blue area is its nonlabor costs, including a normal profit—that is, the firm’s payments to the suppliers of land, capital, and entrepreneurship. This firm’s labor demand curve d in graph (b) slopes downward because: a. the law of diminishing marginal utility applies. b. the law of diminishing returns applies. c. the firm must lower its price to sell additional units of its product. d. the firm is a…
(c) Let us now turn to the labor market for grocery store workers in Little town. Recently one of the last two grocery stores in Little town closed leaving only one employer for grocery store workers in this area. This labor market is not very competitive. What type of market structure is this? (d) Draw a typical supply curve (i.e. average expenditure), marginal expenditure, and demand for the grocery store in Little Town. Label the equilibrium wage and number of grocery store workers. (e) Suppose that some time has passed and the population has grown in Little Town and there are now many grocery stores. Now suppose that the grocery store workers unionize. Draw a graph to depict the equilibrium wage and number of workers in this new market.
Four (TYPE I) firms sell Product X in competitive markets at a price of 10. They each operate with the production function: x = 100L – L². Another firm with monopoly power (TYPE II) sells faces demand curve P = 160 – Y and has production function Y = 5L. All five firms hire as wage-takers in the same market where labour supply is w = 2L. Illustrate and quantify the equilibrium wage and the number of workers hired by each firm. а. Solve for the equilibrium wage and employment by each firm. b. Provide a 3-panel diagram. 6.
The labor supply curve: Multiple Choice shows the number of firms that are willing and able to hire workers at each given wage. is made up of firms who want to hire workers at each given wage. shows that the number of firms that want to hire workers decreases as the wage increases. is made up of workers who want to work for firms at each given wage. In 2017, the city of Seattle passed legislation implementing a $15 per hour minimum wage. Critics of the plan argued that this legislation would increase: Multiple Choice cyclical unemployment. structural unemployment. frictional unemployment. real-wage unemployment.
