What percentage of the tax will construction workers end uppaying?OA. 50%O B. 60%OC. 75 %OD. 33%Wmin 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.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.

- 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 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 = 6Suppose 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)?
- (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 where w 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 = 6Policymakers 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 $3 of fringebenefits for every hour that the worker is employed by the firm. Howdoes this law affect the marginal profit that a firm earns from eachworker at a given cash wage? How does the law affect the demand curvefor labor? Draw your answer on a graph with the cash wage on thevertical axis. b. If there is no change in labor supply how would this law affectemployment and wages? c. Why might the labor-supply curve shift in response to this law? Wouldthis shift in labor supply raise or lower the impact of the law on wagesand employment? d. As discussed in Chapter 6, the wages of some workers, particularly theunskilled and inexperienced, are kept above the equilibrium level byminimum wage laws. What effect would a fringe-benefit…
- Suppose the demand for skilled military personnel is given by the curve: L= 200-5W, where L is the labor demanded per day in thousands and w is the wage rate. Suppose the supply curve for skilled military personnel is given by L=5W. a. What is the equilibrium wage rate ($) 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?Y5 If a firm uses n inputs (n > 2), what inequality does the theory of revealed cost mini- mization imply about changes in factor prices (∆wi) and the changes in factor demands (∆xi) for a given level of output?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?
