Assume that you take a job with flexible hours, but initially your salary was based on a 40-hour week. Your salary begins at $15 an hour, or $30,000 per year. Assuming your salary rises, at what salary (hourly wage) would you begin to work fewer than 40 hours a week> Remember the job permits flexible hours Now if your rich uncle dies and leaves you $500,000 , would this alter the wage rate at which you cut your work hours? Would the wage rate change if you have children?

(Problem 1, Page 437) A firm identifies the following relationship between the real wage it pays and the effort exerted by its workers: Real Wage 8 10 12 14 16 18 The marginal product of labor for this firm is MPN = E(100-N)/15 Effort 7 10 15 17 19 20 where E is the effort level and N is the number of workers employed. If the firm can pay only one of the six wage levels shown, which should it choose? How many workers will it employ? There are 200 workers in the town where the firm is located, all willing to work at a real wage of 8. Does this fact change your answer to the first part of this question? If so, how?
(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. Illustrate Amit's new optimal choice. Use the information…
