Name some factors that can cause- a shift in the supply curve in labor markets.
Table 14.10 shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product at each of those levels, and the price at which the film can sell output in the perfectly competitive market where it operates. What is the value of the marginal product at each level of labor? If the firm operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is 12, what is the films profit maximizing level of employment?

Time remaining: 01:59:36 Economics Operum is a firm that hires unskilled laborers in a perfectly competitive factor market. (a) Draw side-by-side graphs for the whole labor market and for Operum. Label the market supply SL, the market demand DL, the equilibrium wage WE, the equilibrium quantity QE, the wage paid by Operum WO, and the quantity hired by Operum QO. (b) Is WE greater than, equal to, or less than the marginal factor cost of unskilled labor at QO? Explain. (c) The government institutes an effective minimum wage for unskilled labor. Illustrate this on your graphs from part (a). Label the minimum wage WMin. On the graph for Operum, label the new quantity of unskilled labor employed QMin. (d) Ceteris paribus, how will the minimum wage from part (c) affect the market's demand for unskilled labor and its quantity demanded unskilled labor—will each increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain. (e) Will the minimum wage cause the marginal revenue product of Operum's last…

(b) What other margins of adjustment does the firm have in the long run? Explain
(b) A garment factory’s production function is provided in the table.The gross profit per unit (difference between selling price and material cost, but not including the cost of labour) is $100. # Workers Output 1 20 2 36 3 48 4 56 5 60 6 62 (i) If the wage rate is $1,000 a week, how many workers should the factory hire? (ii) If a surge in popularity for the factory’s brand allows them to raise the product price such that the gross profit rises to $150, how many workers will the factory hire now? (iii) Calculate the number of garments produced in each of the two cases above. I would like questions i,ii,iii answered please.
