- Suppose that Congress passes a law requiringemployers to provide employees some benefit (suchas healthcare) that raises the cost of an employee by$4 per hour.a. What effect does this employer mandate haveon the demand for labor? (In answering this andthe following questions, be quantitative whenyou can.)b. If employees place a value on this benefit exactlyequal to its cost, what effect does this employermandate have on the supply of labor?c. If the wage can freely adjust to balance supply anddemand, how does this law affect the wage andthe level of employment? Are employers better orworse off? Are employees better or worse off?d. Suppose that, before the mandate, the wage in thismarket was $3 above the minimum wage. In thiscase, how does the employer mandate affect thewage, the level of employment, and the level ofunemployment?e. Now suppose that workers do not value themandated benefit at all. How does this alternativeassumption change your answers to parts(b) and (c)?Suppose demand for labour is given by: l=-50w+450 and supply is given by l=100w, where ? represents the number of people employed and ? is the real wage rate per hour. a) What will be the equilibrium levels for ? and ? in this market? b. Suppose the government wishes to increase the equilibrium wage to $4 per hour by offering a subsidy to employers for each person hired. How much will this subsidy have to be? What will be the new equilibrium level of employment be? How much total subsidy will be paid? c. Suppose instead that the government declared a minimum wage of $4 per hour. How much labour would be demanded at this price? How much unemployment would there be? d. Graph the results.What is die price commonly called in the labor market?
- Supply of construction workers in a small town is given by Qs = 4W- 20, and demand for construction workers is given by Qd 100-2W, where Q is the number of workers and W is the hourly wage.

Suppose the supply curve for skilled military personnel is given by L=5W. a. What is the equilibrium wage rate ($) and equilibrium for skilled military personnel (equilibrium quantity of labor)? b. Now suppose due to economic problems that the government imposes a wage ceiling of $16.00 on all skilled military personnel. How many skilled military personnel are demanded and how many are supplied?Suppose demand for labour is given by: l=-50w+450 and supply is given by l=100w, where l represents the number of people employed and w is the real wage rate per hour. a) What will be the equilibrium levels for w and l in this market? b. Suppose the government wishes to increase the equilibrium wage to $4 per hour by offering a subsidy to employers for each person hired. How much will this subsidy have to be? What will be the new equilibrium level of employment be? How much total subsidy will be paid? c. Suppose instead that the government declared a minimum wage of $4 per hour. How much labour would be demanded at this price? How much unemployment would there be? d. Graph the results.
- Consider a small landscaping company run by Mr. Viemeister. He is considering increasing his firm’s capacity. If he adds one more worker, the firm’s total monthly revenue will increase from $50,000 to $58,000. If he adds one more tractor, monthly revenue will increase from $50,000 to $62,000. Each additional worker costs $4,000 per month, while an additional tractor would also cost $4,000 per month. LO16.5 a. What is the marginal product of labor? The marginal product of capital? b. What is the ratio of the marginal product of labor to the price of labor (MPL/PL)? What is the ratio of the marginal product of capital to the price of capital (MPK/PK)? c. Is the firm using the least-costly combination of inputs? d. Does adding an additional worker or adding an additional tractor yield a larger increase in total revenue for each dollar spent?Brenda owns a construction company that employs bricklayers and other skilled tradesmen. Her firm’s MRP for bricklayers is $22.25 per hour for each of the first seven bricklayers, $18.50 for an eighth bricklayer, and $17.75 for a ninth bricklayer. Given that she is a price taker when hiring bricklayers, how many bricklayers will she hire if the market equilibrium wage for bricklayers is $18.00 per hour? a. Zero. b. Seven. c. Eight. d. Nine. e. More information is required to answer this question. Suppose that a car dealership wishes to see if efficiency wages will help improve its salespeople’s productivity. Currently, each salesperson sells an average of one car per day while being paid $20 per hour for an eight-hour day. LO17.8 What is the current labor cost per car sold? Suppose that when the dealer raises the price of labor to $30 per hour the average number of cars sold by a salesperson increases to two per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold? By how much is it higher or lower than it was before? Has the efficiency of labor expenditures by the firm (cars sold per dollar of wages paid to salespeople) increased or decreased? Suppose that if the wage is raised a second time to $40 per hour the number of cars sold rises to an average of 2.5 per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold? If the firm’s goal is to maximize the efficiency of its labor expenditures, which of the three hourly salary rates should it use: $20 per hour, $30 per hour, or $40 per hour?…
- Suppose Jenny has 16 hours per day to allocate between work and leisure and she earns a wage rate of $25 per hour.

Cannot be determined with the information provided.3. Suppose that the supply curve for private schoolteachers is Ls = 20,000 + 350W, and the demand curve for such schoolteachers is Ld = 100,000 - 150W, where L = the number of teachers and W = the daily wage. 1 a. Plot the supply and demand curves. b. What are the equilibrium wage and employment levels in this market? c. What will be the effect on labour demand and supply if the government imposes a minimum wage of 200 GHS.Suppose the demand for burger flippers is LD = 400 – 20W where L=number of burger flippers and W=nominal wage rate ($/hr.) The equilibrium wage is $5 but the government mandates a $6 minimum wage. Draw a graph to show what happens to the labor demand for burger flippers after this minimum wage law is enacted. Suppose there is an uncovered sector (no minimum wage law) where LS = -100 + 80W and LD = 300 – 20W before the minimum wage law is put into effect. Suppose all the workers that can’t find jobs as a result of the minimum wage law enter the uncovered sector. Compute how the labor supply function changes. Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment in the uncovered sector? Draw another graph illustrating these effects. Don't copy solutions from other sites!!!!!
