A

To determine

from the graph identify the equilibrium wage rate, the employment level, the opportunity cost and the economic rent.

Concept Introduction:

Economic Rent: the extra amount earned by a resource (e.g. land, capital, or labor) by the quality of its current use

Opportunity Cost: the next best alternative forgone when making a decision between choices

Equilibrium wage rate: the intersection of demand and supply of labor

Demand for labor: this is a concept that defines the amount of demand for labor that an economy or firm is willing to employ at a given point of time.

B

To determine

the demand for labor, new equilibrium wage rate, employment level, Economic rent and opportunity cost in case there is an increase in the price of a substitute resource.

Concept Introduction:

Economic Rent: the extra amount earned by a resource (e.g. land, capital, or labor) by the quality of its current use

Opportunity Cost: the next best alternative forgone when making a decision between choices

Equilibrium wage rate: the intersection of demand and supply of labor

Demand for labor: this is a concept that defines the amount of demand for labor that an economy or firm is willing to employ at a given point of time.

C

To determine

The effect on the demand for labor when demand for the final product decreases, the new equilibrium wage rate and employment level and to determine whether there is a change in the economic rent and opportunity cost

2. Another issue facing millennials is the growing income and wealth inequality. We will use our model to understand the implications of this issue. A. Begin from the baseline preferences and endowments. Assume Xavier is wealthier than Yuri. Xavier has an endowment of 1100 pounds for each period (E1=E2=1100). Yuri has an endowment of only 900 pounds in each period (E1=E2=900). Note that each period's market supply is unchanged (1100 + 900 = 1000 + 1000 = = 2000). Determine the equilibrium interest rate. r = % B. Begin from the baseline preferences and endowments. Assume Yuri is wealthier than Xavier.
