- Suppose that you are considering whether to enroll in a summer computer-training program that costs $3,600. If you take the program, you will have to give up $1,800 of earnings from your summer job. You figure that the program will increase your earnings by $600 per year for each of the next 10 years. Beyond that, it is not expected to affect your earnings. Suppose the interest rate is 10% Use the preceding information to calculate the present value of the wage increase resulting from the training program. Then decide whether the investment is worthwhile, given the present value of the cost of the training program. At this interest rate, the present value of the increase in wages is about the training. Thus, from a strictly monetary viewpoint, you than the present value of the total cost of , which is participate in the training program.arrow_forward(Based on Chapter 2, Problem 1 of Benjamin et al., 2031) Amit has $2000 of annual non-labour income. He has 80 hours per week that he can allocate between labour and leisure, for 80 x 52 = 4160 hours per year. His current wage rate is $20 per hour and he chooses to work 2200 hours a year. (a) Draw a leisure - labour diagram, clearly indicating Amit's current labour supply decision. (Your diagram should be clearly labeled and include Amit's budget line and an indifferent curve showing his leisure and consumption of goods and services at his optimal choice. Use the figures provided to find the y-intercept and his consumption if he doesn't work.) (b) Amit's wage rate increases to $25 per hour. In response, he increases his labour supply to 2300 hours. If he were "compensated" accordingly, at this new wage rate he would be just indifferent to working 2200 hours at his original wage rate and working 2400 hours at the new wage.

- Himig has two part-time jobs, as an assistant worker in a fast food chain (Job 1) and and as a receptionist at a small hotel (Job 2). Due to her heavy load in her studies, Himig can only render 12 hours a week in her jobs. She has determined that for every hour she works at Job 1, she needs 2 hours of preparation time, and for every hour she works at Job II, she needs one hour of preparation time, and she cannot spend more than 16 hours for preparation. If Himig makes Php 40 an hour at Job 1, and Php30 an hour at Job 2, how many hours should she work per week at each job to maximize her income? (Let x = Job 1; y = Job 2).arrow_forwardSuppose that 15 states decrease the length of the standard work week from 40 to 35 hours.

- For Questions 13 and 14, Consider that Kim is a Nurse at a hospital in Atlanta and in 2010 she made an annual salary of $30,000. She has gotten several performance raises and one promotion over the years and in 2019 she earned $46,000 for the year. The Price Index representing her buying power in 2010 was 100 and in 2019 it is 164.  Kim has asked you as her private economist to tell her whether or not she is better off now or worse off now than in 2010. What is the approximate value of her buying power now expressed in 2010 dollars?  Question 13 options:  $46,000  $18,000  $28,000  $36,000arrow_forwardConsider the housing construction industry. Assume the industry is perfectly competitive in input and output markets. Suppose that, through collective bargaining, a labor union successfully negotiates an industry-wide wage for various kinds of labor (electricians, plumbers, and so on). In particular, it succeeds in negotiating a wage increase for carpenters from $9 to $12 per hour. The following graph shows the demand for labor and the supply of labor for the entire industry. On the following graph, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the new industry supply curve. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show the effect of the union negotiations on the quantity of labor demanded in the industry.
