Q.1.20 An upward-sloping labour supply curve illustrates that ceteris paribus; (a) the quantity of labour supplied and the hours of work per week aredirectly related.(b) the quantity of labour supplied and the price of labour used to produceoutput are inversely related.(c) individuals use higher income to buy back leisure time.(d) a greater quantity of labour would be supplied at higher wage rates .Q.1.17 Marginal cost is defined by: (a) total cost increases when one more unit is produced.(b) fixed cost increases when one more unit is produced.(c) Total revenue increases when one more unit is produced.(d) average cost increases when one more unit is produced.
Fringe benefits:a. As you might have suspected, employee nonwage (fringe) benefits make up a muchlarger percentage of labor costs in the United States today than they did a few generationsago (refer to Table 3.1 in the textbook). Fringe benefits as a form of labor compensationis also very unique to the U.S. and other developed nations. Do you think that thegrowing fringe benefit share of labor costs has made the level of employment moreresponsive or less responsive to changes in labor demand over the ups and downs in theoverall economy? In other words, has it given the employers of labor more or lessflexibility as they try to adapt to continuously changing economic conditions?
Imagine a firm that employs two types of workers – some with computer skills and others withno technology related skills.

(ii) Explain how the wage can adjust to balance the supply and demand for labour whilesimultaneously equalling the value of the marginal product of labour.
