We can conclude that Group of answer choices the product market is imperfectly competitive and the labor market is monopsonistic. the labor market is monopsonistic, but the product market is purely competitive. both the labor and product markets are purely competitive. the labor market is purely competitive, but the product market is monopsonistic.

Suppose a firm’s technology requires it to hire 100 workers regardless of the wage level. The firm, however, has found that worker productivity is greatly affected by its wage. The historical relationship between the wage level and the firm’s output is given byWage Rate       Units of Output$ 8.00                      65$10.00                     80$11.25                     90$12.00                     97$12.50                    102What wage level should a profit-maximizing firm choose? What happens to the efficiency wage if there is an increase in the demand for the firm’s output?

Gopher Excavators produces shovels in a small factory and sells the shovels in a competitive market. The following table shows the company's production function: Labor Output (Shovels) (Number of workers) 0 0 1 100 2 195 3 275 4 340 5 380 Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the production function for Gopher Excavators on the following graph. (?) 400 O -O- 360 Production Function 320 280 240 200 160 120 80 40 0 O 0 2 2 5 LABOR (Number of workers) Calculate the marginal product of labor (MPL) of each worker, and then plot the MPL curve on the following graph using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Remember to plot each point halfway between two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the MPL of the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway between 0 and 1. Line segments will automatically connect the points. ? 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 OUTPUT (Shovels) MPL (Shovels per worker) 10 0 0 O 1 1 2…

Nadira, the owner of Company ND is contemplating to keep her shop open after 4pm and until midnight. In order to do so, she would have to hire additional workers. She estimates that the additional workers would generate the following of total output (where each unit of output refers to 100 pages duplicated). Workers Hired 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Total Product 0 12 22 30 36 40 42                                                                                                                                                         Calculate the following if the price of each unit of output is RM10 and each worker hired must be paid RM40 per day: How many workers should Nadira hire? At which point did the law of diminishing returns occur?

A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $270 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Marginal Product of Value of the Marginal Product Labor Labor Output (Units of output) of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Dollars) 20 1 20 19 2 39 18 3 57 15 72 12 5 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway…

Describe wage determination in a labor market in which workers are unorganized and many firms actively compete for the serVices of labor. a. Given the competitive market for labor shown In the diagram on the left, indicate the equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of workers hired by the firm. Instructions: (1) Use the tool provided 'A' to identify the quantity of labor hired by the firm and the wage rate paid. (2) Use the three- point shading tool 'Nonlabor' to identify the nonlabor costs. (3) Use the four-point shading tool 'Wage cost' to identify the wage costs to the firm.

The graph on the right shows a labor markel in equilibrium. The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour. At this wage, there are people who are not working, which is represented by the segment of the labor supply curve above the equilibrium wage Why are these people not working in this market? Labor supply curve O A. These people have decided not to work right now, regardless of the wage. O B. These people applied for employment at $10 per hour but were not hired by the firm. OC. These people are only willing to work for wages above the markel-clearing wage 10 O D. This represents those who are not yet 16 years of age and therefore not eligible to work Labor demand curve Quantity of labor
