. Suppose that a car dealership wishes to see if efficiency wages will help improve its salespeople’s productivity. Currently, each salesperson sells an average of one car per day while being paid $20 per hour for an eight-hour day. LO17.8
What is the current labor cost per car sold?
Suppose that when the dealer raises the price of labor to $30 per hour the average number of cars sold by a salesperson increases to two per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold? By how much is it higher or lower than it was before? Has the efficiency of labor expenditures by the firm (cars sold per dollar of wages paid to salespeople) increased or decreased?
Suppose that if the wage is raised a second time to $40 per hour the number of cars sold rises to an average of 2.5 per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold?
If the firm’s goal is to maximize the efficiency of its labor expenditures, which of the three hourly salary rates should it use: $20 per hour, $30 per hour, or $40 per hour?…

O a) With unions successfully raising wages for workers, it can also reduce overall employment. b) When unions drive up wages for workers, it results in an incentive for firms to hire more workers. OC) Unions drive up wages and benefits for workers by asserting market power over employers. O d) It is possible that raising wages for union workers can lead to higher productivity than nonunion workers because union workers are more likely to stay on the job longer.arrow_forwardWhich external sources of recruitment are commonly used by the big enterprises that you believe are more effective and less effective to acquire new talent/employee.

- 2. Complete the following labor demand table for a firm that is hiring labor competitively and selling its product in a competitive market: Now assume that the firm is selling in an imperfectly competitive market and that, although it can sell 17 units for $2.20 per unit, it must lower product price by 5 cents in order to sell the marginal product of each successive labor unit (that is to sell 31 units of output it has to lower the price to $2.15, etc). Use the table above to calculate the firm's demand curve under this assumption. Make sure to put the appropriate price for each product level. Plot the two demand curves. Which curve is more elastic? If the market wage is $19.95, how many workers will each firm hire? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe marginal expenditure of a monopsonist is $9. The wage it currently pays is $3.
