- What is die price commonly called in the labor market?Akua gains utility from consumption C and leisure L. The most leisure she can consume in any given week is 110 hours. Her utility function is U (C, L) = C × L. Akua receives 660 GHS each week from her great-grandmother—regardless of how much she works. a. What will be Akua’s marginal rate of substitution. b. What will be Akua’s reservation wage? (Explain in detail)Hannah’s wage rate is initially $10 per hour and she maximises her utility by supplying 8hours of work. Subsequently, her wage rate increases to $15 per hour and her newequilibrium position corresponds to 9 hours of work. It is noted that the income effect (IE)causes the labour supply to change by 1 hour and the substitution effect (SE) causes thelabour supply to change by 2 hours. How to draw in diagram, to show the IE and SE?
- Explain how the wage can adjust to balance thesupply and demand for labor while simultaneouslyequaling the value of the marginal product oflabor.Describe how the firm sets an efficiency wage above the competitive level. Why are there no market forces forcing the profit-maximizing firm to reduce the wage to the competitive l evel?Cindy gains utility from consumption C and leisure L. The most leisure she can consume in any given week is 168 hours. Her utility function is U ( C, L) = C x L. This functional form implies that Cindy’s marginal rate of substitution is C/L. Cindy receives $630 each week from her great-grandmother—regardless of how much Cindy works. What is Cindy’s reservation wage?
- Sharon spends her time (16h) between leisure (L) and work and he consume Y product from his working income (P=1). Assume that she gets W$ per hour of working (W>0) and has the following utility function: U (L, Y) =LY 4Y. a.Calculate the demand function for L. and show it on a graph (L. vs W). b. Calculate the labor supply (H) and show it on a graph (H vs W). c.What will happen to L. Y and H if the wage per hour (W) will decrease?Becky currently earns anominal wage of $12.00 per hour; in other words, the amount of her paycheck each week is $12.00 per hour times the number of hours she works. Suppose the price of milk is $2.40 per gallon; in this case, Becky'sreal wage, in terms of the amount of milk she can buy with her paycheck, is gallons of milk per hour. When workers and firms negotiate compensation packages, they have expectations about the price level (and changes in the price level) and agree on a wage with those expectations in mind. If the price level turns out to be higher than expected, a worker's wage is than both the worker and employer expected when they agreed to the wage. Becky and her employer both expected inflation to be 3% between 2012 and 2013, so they agreed, in a two-year contract, that she would earn $12.00 per hour in 2012 and $12.36 per hour in 2013. However, suppose inflation between 2012 and 2013 actually turned out to be 6%, not 3%. For example,…If a firm uses n inputs (n > 2), what inequality does the theory of revealed cost minimization imply about changes in factor prices (∆wi) and the changes in factor demands (∆xi) for a given level of output?
- Demonstrate using clearly labeled diagrams that the labor supply for leisure being normal (SE>IE) ismost inelastic, for leisure being inferior is most elastic and for neither case is somewhere in the middle.Consider worker 1 with non-labour income Y facing a wage offer w and a utility function defined over consumption and leisure. U(c,l) = lnC + 4lnl a.Provide the functional form of the income effect from a marginal decrease in income and provide the functional form of the substitution and total income effects of a marginal increase in wage.Predict how each of the following events will raiseor lower the equilibrium wage and quantity of oilworkers in Texas. In each case, sketch a demand andsupply diagram to illustrate your answer.a. The price of oil rises.b. New oil-drilling equipment is invented that ischeap and requires few workers to run.c. Several major companies that do not drill oilopen factories in Texas, offering many well-paidjobs outside the oil industry.d. Government imposes costly new regulations tomake oil-drilling a safer job
