Assume that a labor market has the following supply and demand functions: Ls = 179 + 8W LD = 604 - 7W where W is the wage. Insurance is added as a benefit for employees. Employers pay $19 per employee for insurance and the employees value the insurance at $13. What is the new wage with insurance? ROUND TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES

Calculate MPL & MRP to determine how many employees the firm should hire. 1) Calculate MPL and the MRP of the business. We can assume that price = $3 and that the business must pay a wage to its employees of $20 per day. # of employees: Output MPL MRP 1 90 120 132 4 140 5 142 6 143 A*Based on these numbers, how many employees should this business use? Explain your answer. B*Show what the graph would like this for this firm if we have lines for wage and MRP. Show where they would cross and the optimal number of employees used also C*Explain what you think would happen if demand went up for the product and now price goes up to $4. LO
Otherthingsbeingconstant,howwillthefollowinginfluence the hourly earnings of employees? Explain your answer. The employee must work the midnight to 8:00 a.m. shift. The job involves split shifts (work three hours, off two hours, work three additional hours, and so on). Theemployerprovideslow-costchildcareservicesonthe premises. The job is widely viewed as prestigious. The job requires employees to move often from city to city. The job requires substantial amounts of out-of-town travel.
Consider an individual who must drive to his place of work. Assume that there are 16 available hours in the day, that his wage rate is $20 per hour, and that he has nonlabour income of $100 per day. The commute takes one hour each day and it costs $40 in expenses for the round trip. Using a work-eisure diagram, depict his labour supply choice, including his reservation wage. Analyze the impact of an increase in commuting costs on his participation and hours decision. Analyze the impact, first of an increase in commuting time from two to four hours per day, and, second, of an increase in driving expenses from $40 to $60 per round trip, keeing commuting time at two hours.

Explaining the college premium in the 1970s: As shown in Figure 7.8, the col-lege wage premium declined in the 1970s. Using a supply-and-demand graph, explain why this decline might have occurred.
Paragraph Font Consider an individual who initially works T-L. hours per week, where (T-L)>0. They earn an hourly wage (W) and no non-labour income. a) Draw a graph that reflects this individual's income-leisure constraint, utility-maximizing indifference curve (U.) and choice of leisure hours (L.). b) The government then implements a wage subsidy program in which worker wages are increased by 10%. This wage subsidy program has no limits, so there is no phase-in/out. This wage subsidy produces both an income effect and a substitution effect on the worker's choice of leisure hours. Assume that the substītution effect is stronger than the income effect. On the same graph as part a, draw this individual's new income-leisure constraint, utility- maximizing indifference curve (U.) and choice of leisure hours (L). [Note: When incorporating the 10% wage subsidy into the graph in part b, I am not expecting perfect precision. Just try your best to draw the new income-leisure constraint as…
Kindly help solve and explain all steps and intuition. Thank you! A firm is considering hiring a worker and providing the worker with general training. The training costs $1,000, and the worker’s MRPL (marginal revenue product of labor) during the training period is $3,000. If the worker can costlessly move to another employer in the post-training period and that employer will pay a wage equaling the new MRPL, how much will the training firm pay the worker in the training period?
A4 unemployment insurance might be redundant. If a job faces a high risk of termination, then this will be priced into the wage as a compensating differential. Do you agree or disagree that risk of unemployment should be accounted for as a compensating differential, and that unemployment insurance is unnecessary? Why?
