You are GIVEN the liberty to construct a hypothetical geometric illustration of Labor Market where you measure the following variables on the specific axis: A On the vertical axis is the WAGE=the Price of Labor (in Pesos per day) B. On the horizontal axis is the QUANTITY of Labor demand and supply (in man-hours per day) REQUIREMENTS: 1. Show the EQUILIBRIUM point by bringing together the DEMAND and SUPPLY of LABOR. Label your graph accordingly. 2. Consider an INCREASE in the wage (as demanded by the labor groups) to a higher level than the equilibrium price for labor. SHOW geometrically what will happen in the labor market. What problem(s) is/are likely to arise in the labor market? 3. In the face of the problem(s) that are now obtaining in the labor market, what would you recommend as a set of policies or programs to address such problems. Illustrate your recommendations geometrically (i.e., graphically).

An economy can produce good 1 using labour and capital and good 2 using labour and capital. The total supply of labour is 100 units. Given the supply of capital and capital, the marginal products of labour for the two goods are as follows: Workers Employed 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 MPL in Sector1 4.53 3.42 3 2.61 2.34 2.22 2.07 1.98 1.89 1.8 MPL in Sector 2 4.77 3.15 2.46 2.07 1.8 1.62 1.5 1.38 1.29 1.2 a) Suppose that the price of good 1 is $1 and the price of good 2 is $2. Determine graphically the wage rate and the allocation of labour between the two sectors. [. c) Suppose that the relative price of good 2 falls to 1.3. Repeat a). d) Calculate the effects of the price change on the income of the specific factors (capital and capital) in sectors 1 and 2. [₁ +~1
Consider a company operating in a competitive market. The company sells units of output and receives a price of $20 per unit, and pays a daily market wage of $330 to each worker it employs. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Value of the Marginal Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) 0 0 20 1 20 19 2 39 18 3 57 15 4 72 12 5 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the…
Economics: Labor Economics Question: 1 Labor demand and supply of a market are given by w = 32 - 5Ed and w = 4 + 2Es. Please show work for each part. a.What is the equilibrium employment in this market? [a] b.What is the equilibrium wage in this market? [b] Question: 2 The marketplace is currently in equilibrium as indicated by the tangency condition shown below. Assume capital and labor are substitutes. Suppose technological improvements increase the productivity of capital but have no effect on the productivity of labor. In terms of its use of capital and labor what would you expect firms to do to re-establish equilibrium? (MPe/W) = (MPk/r) Thank you for your help and support Instructor Agent!
It is difficult to imagine a truly homogeneous market for even a commodity product like milk. In other words, since the milk market includes people who buy different types of milk (i.e., whole, 2%, skim, almond milk, etc.), you'd have to conclude that the milk market has many segments and that it's heterogeneous rather than homogeneous. A True В False

1). Do We Need Another Movie Like "Top Gun?" The US military has claimed that there may soon be a shortage of fighter pilots. The Pentagon predicts that if actions are not taken the shortage will get much larger in the coming 3-5 years. As background information, you should know that both the demand and wages of commercial pilots has risen over the past five years (which you should see as a substitute for military pilots). a). First, graph and explain economically what the Pentagon might mean by a shortage? (note: the demand for fighter pilots is fairly inelaştic) Would micro see this shortage as an inefficiency? If so, show the deadweight loss. b). Provide two efficient solutions to solve the coming shortage of fighter pilots and graphs your solutions.
The war in Ukraine has driven many highly qualified IT specialists into neighboring Poland, where many chose to remain and start looking for jobs There are four graphs, depicting: (1) labor market for IT specialists in Poland, (2) the profit maximizing decision of a typical perfectly competitive Polish software firm, (3) market for Polish software products; (4) the Polish market for imported software products. Our goal is to analyze, using what you have learned, the effect of influx of foreign IT specialists on the three markets and on the typicalPolish software firm.. You have to address the questions in order, starting with the labor market for farm workers. In the labor market for IT specialists:: 1. Label clearly the supply and demand curves, S and D. 2. In the text, indicate clearly what side of the market is affected, supply or demand, by underlining or circling the relevant term. 3. Once you decided which side of the market is affected and how, show on the graph the new supply…
Despite lower inflation figures posted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in July, the price of some goods and services continue to increase. To answer the following questions, you will need to refer to the ABC News article by Morris (2023) which reports on the increase in chocolate prices, as well as undertake your own additional research. 1. Assuming that the domestic market for chocolate is perfectly competitive, use a generic market demand and supply diagram to: (a) Illustrate the domestic market for Chocolate in equilibrium, clearly label your diagram. (b) Explain, with the aid of a new diagram, the impact of the supply shock on the market for chocolate from part (a), assuming that consumer demand for chocolate was not affected. (c) Explain 3 reasons for the supply-side shock that were outlined in Morris (2023). Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure
Q1). Suppose the labor market is initially at its equilibrium, i.e., the labor supplied equals the labor demanded. Now suppose IBM develops a new computer chip that makes computer incredibly faster. Explain and show graphically how the arrival of a new, more productive technology affects the labor market. Draw the full graph and provide a detailed explanation of the effect. Label the axes/curves, explain why either the aggregate labor demand curve or the aggregate labor supply curve shifts and describe the economic mechanism that moves the economy from the old to the new equilibrium.

Question-3 Consider the figure below which shows the combined production function of Anna and Bob: Wheat (bushels) A Free-time (hours) [slope at A = slope at y] a) Assume a case where Anna works the land owned by Bob. By referring to the diagram above, explain how does Anna rank the possible allocations marked as X, Y, Z and A? b) Now assume a separate case whereby Anna is a slave to Bob. It is also given that Anna recently suffered from Corona virus and thus her nutrition needs are amplified- for more hours of work that she puts in, she requires more bushels of wheat, even just to survive. Draw a modified version of the diagram above to depict how Anna's biological survival constraint change in this case and also comment with brief reasoning whether Anna would be better off on her altered biological survival constraint compared to before? c) Suppose a new scenario where the Government has introduced a new social welfare program to cater to the poor of the society, wherein the…
