Question
Chapter 73, Problem 4MCQ
To determine
The result of efficiency wage.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 4MCQ
From the available options, the correct option is surpluses of labor.
Explanation of Solution
Surpluses of labor would be the result of efficient wages. This is because by increasing the wage rate from the market, the firm tries to retain their existing workers so that they can achieve higher productivity or avoid the situation of shortage of labor. It would increase the motivation among workers to perform their job better. However, discrimination is the unjust treatment of workers based on their gender or race. And, compensating differentials involves higher wages to employees according to the risky nature of work.
Therefore, the correct option is b (surpluses of labor).
Economics Concept Introduction
Introduction: According to the marginal productivity theory of income distribution, every individual will receive wage or income according to the total contribution or output that they produce.
The efficiency wages model describes the payment of wages above the makes wages to retain employees or to increase the productivity of the business.

Researchers have estimated the MDF and MAC curves for the emissions to be the following: MDF = 4E and MAC = 125 – E Policymakers have decided to implement an emissions tax to control pollution. They are aware that a constant per-unit tax of $100 is an efficient policy. Yet they are also aware that this policy is not politically feasible because of the large tax burden it places on the firm. As a result, policymakers propose a two- part tax: a per unit tax of $75 for the first 15 units of emissions an increase in the per unit tax to $100 for all further units of emissions With an emissions tax, what is the general condition that determines how much pollution the regulated party will emit? What is the efficient level of emissions given the above MDF and MAC curves? What are the firm's total tax payments under the constant $100 per-unit tax? What is the firm's total cost of compliance…arrow_forward2.

Use a graph to explain your answer, and show the level of fishing effort. Would this same condition hold if there was only one boat in the fishery? If not, what condition will hold, and why is it different? Use the same graph to show the single boat's level of effort. Suppose you are given authority to solve the open-access problem in the fishery. What is the key problem that you must address with your policy?arrow_forward
