- Table 14.13 shows information from the supply curve for labor for a monopsonist, that is, the wage rate required at each level of employment. What is the monopsonists marginal cost of labor at each level of employment? If each unit of labors marginal revenue product is 13, what is the firms profit maximizing level of employment and wage?Bridge Coal Company is the only employer in a remote and mountainous region of the country, so the firm is the monopsony buyer of labour in the market. If the price of coal increases, then the firm's: A. AE curve shifts leftward. B. AE curve shifts rightward. C. ME and AE curves shift rightward. D. ME curve shifts leftward. E. MV curve shifts rightward.Assume a firm is a monopsonist that can hire its first worker for $6 but must increase the wage rate by $3 to attract each successive worker. Draw the firm’s labor supply and marginal resource cost curves and explain their relationships to one another. On the same graph, plot the labor demand data of question 2. What are the equilibrium wage rate and level of employment? Why do these differ from your answer to question 9?
- Draw a graph to represent the optimal hiring decision of the Halifax Regional School Board (a monopsonist). This is a conceptual problem where you must draw and clearly label your axes to earn maximum points. Show the HRBS's optimal wage and employment level too. 2B. Now using the same graph or a neatly reproduced version of A – show what you would be the wage and employment level in perfect competition. If you believe monopsony generates a deadweight loss, don't forget to highlight this area in your graph. Lastly, what would be the effects of a minimum wage on HRSB's employment and wage level?Take an monopsony with an inverse demand of P = 20-.5Q equal to marginal revenue and inverse supply of P = 2+.25Q equal to marginal cost. Find the equilibrium price, quantity, all 3 surpluses, and any deadweight loss. Show your work. Request: Please draw a graph as needed and please provide the typed answer (not written) Your help is much appreciated!4 A production function is states as: 120Q1/3, with an output price of 25. Firms total revenue is stated as 11000Q1/2 with a labor supply of Q=15w. If you derive the monopsony equilibrium labor and monopsony wage what would they be.
- The inverse labour demand curve of a monopsonist employer is W = 41,500 – 101L, where W is the annual salary and L is the number of workers hired. The labor supply is given by W = 9,800 + 109L. (a) The marginal expenditure equation is ME=__________ (b) To the nearest integer, the monopsonist would hire ______ workers and, given that number of workers, the salary they would pay is, rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g. 4.12) ____Under monopsony, wages are determined by: Demand curve Marginal Labour Cost curve Intersection of MLC and Demand curve Interesection of MLC and Supply curve Supply Curve onlyThe inverse labour demand curve of a monopsonist employer is W = 40,500 – 105L, where W is the annual salary and L is the number of workers hired. The labor supply is given by W = 10,600 + 104L. (a) The marginal expenditure equation is ME= . Do not include a comma in your answer. Please use capital letters (e.g. L not l) (b) To the nearest integer, the monopsonist would hire workers and, given that number of workers, the salary they would pay is, rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g. 4.12) . Do not include a comma in your answer.
- A monopsonist’s products are sold in a perfect competitive market at a price of $6. If the firm’s TFC=5L+2L2 and in the short run, its marginal product equals 10. How many units of labor will she employ and what wage will she pay? Assume now the monopsonist firm’s product is in a monopoly market with demand function P=80-2Q. How many units of labor will she employ and what wage will she payFor a corripetitive firm workers marginal revenue product equals the marginal product of labor times the: wage rate. wage rate. price of the firm's product interest rate firm's total revenueQ. 2 Suppose a firm is the sole employer in town, facing a labor supply curve w(L) = 0.5L. This monopsony is a price taker in the output market and has demand for labor DL = 200 – L (this is the marginal revenue product of labor). a) Calculate the total L demanded by the monopsony and compare it with perfect competition. b) Calculate producer surplus, compare it with perfect competition. c) Calculate consumer surplus and compare it with perfect competition. d) Calculate DWL for this monopsony, comparing it to perfect competition.
