Assume that the industry is perfectly competitive in both input and output markets. Suppose that, through collective bargaining, a labor union negotiates an industry-wide wage for various kinds of labor (electricians, plumbers, and so on). In particular, it succeeds in negotiating a wage increase for carpenters from $15 to $20 per hour. The following graph shows the labor demand of an individual firm. On the following graph, show what happens at the firm level as a result of the union negotiations.

The paper ought to be written as a brief (1-1.5 pages) report that includes your calculations and a short explanation of what the firm should do if it is making a loss. A firm currently uses 40,000 workers to produce 100,000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $80, and the price of the firm's output is $41. The cost of other variable inputs is $400,000 per day. Assume that total fixed cost equals $900,000. (Note: Assume that output is constant at the level of 100,000 units per day.) Calculate the values for the following variables using the formulas that are given: · Total Variable Cost = (Number of Workers x Worker’s Daily Wage) + Other Variable Costs · Total Costs = Total Variable Costs + Total Fixed…arrow_forward
- Wages, Workers, and Management - End of Chapter Problem As of 2018, the federal minimum wage in the United States was $7.25 per hour. There have been proposals to increase the federal minimum wage to $15.00 per hour. Assume the labor market for minimum wage workers is in equilibrium at the current minimum wage of $7.25 and that Congress passes a law to increases the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour. Place the points on the graph to illustrate the price floor created by the minimum wage law.
