A case study dicusses the federal minimum wage law.a. Suppose the minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage in the market for unskilled labor. using the supply and demand diagram of the market for unskilled labor, show the market wage,the number of workers who are employed, and the number of workers who are unemployed. Also show total payment to unskilled workers.b. Now suppose the secretary of labor proposes an increase in the minimum wage.What effect would this increase have on employment? does the change in employment depend on the elasticity of demand, the elasticity of supply, both elasticities, or neither?c. What effect would this increase in the minimum wage have on unemployment? Does the change in unemployment depend on the elasticity of demand, the elasticity of supply, both elasticities or neither?d.if the demand for unskilled labor were inelastic, would the proposed increase in the minimum wage raise or lower total wage payments to the unskilled workers. would you answer…

The graph on the right shows the demand for and supply of labor in a market with an equilibrium wage rate of $7 per hour.
Show the impact on the graph if a minimum wage of $9 per hour is enacted.
1. Using the point drawing tool, plot the point that illustrates the quantity of labor demanded when the minimum wage is set at $9 per hour. Label your point 'A.'
2.) Using the point drawing tool, plot a point that illustrates the quantity of labor supplied when the minimum wage is set at $9 per hour. Label your point 'B.'
Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects.
3. According to the graph, when the minimum wage is set at $9 per hoer, there will be ____
unemplovment of _____ workers in this market.
A. frictional; 4 million.
B. structural; 4 million.
C. frictional; 2 million.
D. structural; 2 million.
The government decides to regulate the labor market. Assume the demand for labor is inelastic, while the supply of labor is elastic.a) On a graph, show the equilibrium wage and the employment level. Make sure you label the axes and the curves.b) The government decides to introduce minimum wage: now it’s illegal to offer wage below the minimum wage level. On a graph, show how the market will be affected if the minimum wage is set to be above the equilibrium wage. What wage will be offered on the market? What will happen to the employment level? What negative consequences will this government intervention have?c) Forget about part (b). The government decides to introduce a tax on every worker. On a new graph, without showing any shifts of the curves, show the new wage you’d observethe firms to pay and the wage you’d observe households to receive. Comment on the tax incidence: who will bear most of the burden of the tax?

Let's suppose the government now impose a price floor of $15 for a pack of toilet paper.

- Assume that as the economy booms, the demand for business and consumer loans rises significantly, while the supply of funds and loans remains constant. As a result, the market interest rate for business and consumer loans rises to 20% per year. The government implements a ceiling on interest rates of 15% a year and as a result... Group of answer choices The quantity demanded of business and consumer loans rises, while the quantity supplied falls and a surplus occurs A greater number of business and consumer loans are made at a lower interest rate than previously.

(b) The equilibrium price in the housing market is very high. What do you think will happen if the government imposes a very high price ceiling that is below but very close to the equilibrium price on the housing market, because a politician owns housing units in certain areas?
