Next, consider an example of DWL in the labour market. Suppose the demand for labour is given by the fixed gross wage W = $16. The supply is given by W = 0.8L. (a) Illustrate the market geometrically. (b) Calculate the equilibrium amount of labour supplied, and the supplier surplus. (c) Suppose a wage tax that reduces the wage to W = $12 is imposed. By how much is the supplier’s surplus reduced at the new equilibrium?
Who should pay the tax? The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Paideia.

Hugo decides to buy his Christmas gifts on Black Friday. To simplify his life, he is giving his 10 closest friends scarves for Christmas and everyone else Christmas cards. Hugo is willing to pay up to $20 each for 10 scarves. When he arrives at Macy’s at 5:00 A.M. on Black Friday, he discovers that scarves are on sale for $12 each. Hugo buys 10 scarves and uses the remaining $80 to buy himself some clothes. How much consumer surplus did Hugo receive from the tenth scarf he purchased? Assuming Hugo follows the Rational Rule for Buyers, why did Hugo only purchase 10 scarves when they were on sale? Shouldn't he have purchased more since they were such a good deal compared to what he was willing to pay? Now suppose the manager at Macy’s had 100 scarves in inventory. She decided to put the scarves on sale for $10, but an employee accidentally listed the sales price as $12. To the manager’s surprise, the store sold all 100 scarves at the $12 sales price. How much producer surplus did Macy’s…

Sefronia and Bella share an apartment and they are deciding whether or not to purchase a weekly housecleaning service. The value of the service to each of them is $50 and it costs $80 to hire a housecleaner. Should they hire a housecleaner? A. Yes, if each contributes $50, then each stands to gain a consumer surplus. B. No, because each will wait for the other to hire the housecleaner. C. Yes, but only if a housecleaner will accept $50 so that each can take turns to pay the housecleaner. D. No, because it will be difficult for them to agree on which housecleaning service to use.

Suppose that the demand for a concert is represented by the following equation, where P is the price of concert tickets and QD is the quantity of tickets demanded:QD = 2200 - 24PThe supply of tickets is represented by the equation where P is the price of the tickets and QS is the quantity of tickets supplied:QS = -500 +79PGive all answers to two decimals. 1. Find the equilibrium price and quantity of tickets sold. 2. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, (½ × base × height), to calculate each value.
(ALL OWNERSHIP GOES TO CENGAGE) The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Sophos. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 150. Suppose the federal government of Sophos has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the…
