- 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. The town government imposes a tax of $1 per hour per construction worker. What percentage of the tax will construction workers end uppaying?OA. 50%O B. 60%OC. 75 %OD. 33%Suppose that demand is given by p=10Y^(-1/5) and labor supply is w=4L^(2) If marginal product is 10 and market price is 4 then a. What is the wage in a competitive market b. What is the wage in a market where the firm had monopoly power in the goods market c. What is the wage in a market where the firm has monopoly power in the goods marketSuppose the town government imposes a $2 per hour tax on all gardeners. Indicatethe effect of the tax on the market for gardeners. What is the effect on the equilibriumwage and the equilibrium number of gardeners hired? How much does the gardenerreceive? How much does the customer pay? How much does the government receiveas tax revenue?
- The market for low-skilled workers is highly competitive, due to the high numbers of low skilled individuals. If the labor supply is given by the equation QS = 10W and measured per hour, and the demand for labor is given by the equation QD = 240 − 20W. Where Q measures the quantity of labor hired (in thousands of hours). Answer the following: (d) After the implementation of the $9 minimum wage, in terms of surplus how much better off are low-skilled workers and how much worse off are employers? (e) If the minimum wage is set at $11 rather than $9 how does the deadweight loss and surplus change?A firm faces a perfectly elastic demand for its output at a price of $6 per unit of output. The firm, however, faces an upward-sloped labor supply curve ofE = 20w - 120where E is the number of workers hired each hour and w is the hourly wage rate. Thus, the firm faces an upward-sloped marginal cost of labor curve ofMCE = 6 + 0.1EEach hour of labor produces five units of output. How many workers should the firm hire each hour to maximize profits? What wage will the firm pay? What are the firm’s hourly profits?(2) Suppose you find the demand (Qd, as thousands) and supply (Qs, as thousands) for long-haul truck drivers in one market can be specified as functions of the yearly wage paid (W, as thousand $) as following. Demand for drivers: Qd = 155 – 1.5 * W, Supply of drivers: Qs = 36 + 0.25 * W, How much is the market equilibrium level of wage for truck drivers (as thousands) and the how many jobs will be in this market? Now you noticed a company pays 40% higher wage than the market equilibrium level to hire truck drivers, how to explain this case?
- Suppose that the labor demand for restaurant waiters in a small city is LD = −10 + 20w wherew is wage in dollars per hour.1. Derive the formula of the wage-elasticity of labor demand.2. Solve for the wage-elasticity of labor demand at the following wage rates below. Tell whetherlabor demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at each given wage rate.a. w = 4b. w = 6Wmin Wage w W 9p minimum wage equilibrium wage Quantity q qs S Assume Qd=10, Q*=15, Qs=20, W*=$8, and Wmin-$16. Due to the implementation of the new minimum wage... O a. The number of people unemployed in this market would rise from 0 to 10. O b. The number of people unemployed in this market would rise from 15 to 20. O c. Companies are unable to fill 10 new vacancies. O d. Companies are unable to fill 5 new vacancies.The way the workers’ compensation system works now, employees permanently injured on the jobreceive a payment of $X each year whether they work or not. Suppose the government were toimplement a new program in which those who did not work at all got $0.5X but those who did work got$0.5X plus workers’ compensation of 50 cents for every hour worked (of course, this subsidy would bein addition to the wages paid by their employers). What would be the change in work incentivesassociated with this change in the way workers’ compensation payments are calculated?
- Suppose that the demand for electricians in a particular town can be given by the equation: L = 10,000 - 20W where L = the number of hours of electrician services and W = the hourly wage rate for electricians. a. What is the own-wage elasticity of demand for electricians when W = $125 per hour -- the equilibrium wage rate? b. Is the demand curve elastic or inelastic at this point? c. How will Aggregate Earnings of electricians be affected by a 10% increase in wages from this equilibrium point? d. What effect will each of the following have on the own-wage elasticity of demand for electricians at the equilibrium wage? i. An increase in the price elasticity of demand for electrical services ii. An increase in the equilibrium wage (with the same labor demand curve specified in this problem) iii. A dramatic increase in handymen in this town (which can be thought of as substitutes in the production for electricians)Policymakers sometimes propose laws requiring firms to give workerscertain fringe benefits, such as health insurance or paid parental leave.Let's consider the effects of such a policy on the labor market.a. Suppose that a law required firms to give each worker $3 of fringebenefits for every hour that the worker is employed by the firm. Howdoes this law affect the marginal profit that a firm earns from eachworker at a given cash wage? How does the law affect the demand curvefor labor? Draw your answer on a graph with the cash wage on thevertical axis. b. If there is no change in labor supply how would this law affectemployment and wages? c. Why might the labor-supply curve shift in response to this law? Wouldthis shift in labor supply raise or lower the impact of the law on wagesand employment? d. As discussed in Chapter 6, the wages of some workers, particularly theunskilled and inexperienced, are kept above the equilibrium level byminimum wage laws. What effect would a fringe-benefit…The demand curve for gardeners is G(D) = 19 – W, where G = the numberof gardeners, and W = the hourly wage. The supply curve is G(S) = 4 + 2 W . a. Suppose the town government imposes a $2 per hour tax on all gardeners. Indicate the effect of the tax on the market for gardeners.What is the effect on the equilibrium wage and the equilibrium number of gardeners hired? How much does the gardener receive? Howmuch does the customer pay? How much does the government receiveas tax revenue?
