At the current market wage rate how many workers will the firm hire?b. Which economics principle can be used to explain why Lisena should NOT hire a fifth worker?c.

Based on what Wheelan has written and the conversations about minimum wage in the class, which of the below statements is the LEAST likely to be correct if the minimum wage (a price floor) is placed well above the market clearing (equilibrium) wage? Group of answer choices The higher the minimum wage is set above the market clearing or equilibrium rate the more likely it is benefit all workers, as everyone's wages will have increased, and employers will not lay off workers because of the higher wages. The higher minimum wage will benefit those who continue to have a job at the higher wage, but will hurt those who are laid off because employers will hire fewer workers at the higher wage rate.

- Ma4. 1. Labor Markets (a) Sketch a graph of a competitive labor market for fast food workers, showing a hypothetical equilibrium wage and quantity of workers. (b) On that same graph (or a new one if it gets too hard to follow), show what would happen to labor demand and/or supply and the new equilibrium from each of the following changes: i. Childcare gets much more expensive. ii. Grocery stores begin paying their employees significantly more. iii. Better training allows workers to become 15% more productive. iv. Customers become more health-conscious and try to reduce their fast food intake.arrow_forwardWhen deriving labour supply, we assumed that the substitution effect dominated the income effect. What impact would there be on labour supply if this was not the case? Briefly investigate how such a change could theoretically affect the imposition of a minimum wage.

- Q8 In the Canadian labour market, demand for labour can be impacted by elasticity of the product in which labour is an input. Suppose that the labour cost to total cost ratio in industry A (cannabis sector) is 14 percent, while in industry B (fertilizer sector) it is 68 percent. Other things equal, labour demand will be Multiple Choice more elastic in industry B than in A. constant in both industries A and B. relatively elastic in both industries A and B. relatively inelastic in both industries A and B. more elastic in industry A than in B.arrow_forwardConsider a competitive labor market. Using the model of how income is determined in a labor market, describe the effects on wages and number of individuals employed of an increase in the productivity of labor in that market. What will happen and why? In your answer, be sure that you describe why the supply and demand curves are shaped as they are.arrow_forwardHow would I analyze how the equilibrium wage and number of working hours will change when a company has a great demand for workers (i.e. grocery stores now) yet some current workers don't want to work as many hours? How would I explain the three cases that would depend on the relative size of change in labor demand and labor supply? For example. Case 1. Change in supply(∆LS)| = |Change in Demand(∆LD )| . Case 2: |∆LS| > |∆LD| . Case 3: |∆LS| < |∆LD| I'm trying to understand how the equilibrium wage and number of working hours will change under these different scenarios. Thanksarrow_forward
