Relevant product markets are competitive. The two labor demand curves are identical and initially the quantities of labor employed in the two sectors are L1 and L'1 and the wage rate in each sector is Wp. Refer to the diagrams and assumptions. The change in employment in sector 1 to which a W, to W, union wage increase gives rise will cause output in that sector to: O increase by A + B.

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…
Changes in labor supply curve (shift) in labor market and thus changes in equilibrium wages and quantity of labor are mainly attributed to among others O Changes in technology of production O changes in value of marginal productivity of labor and output price O Changes in labor force growth rate and labor participation rate O Changes in wage elasticity of labor demand curve

The adjacent graph shows the initial labor supply curve (LS₁), initial labor demand curve (LD₁), and the initial labor market equilibrium in an economy. Suppose the economy now suffers from a recession. Using the line drawing tool, show: • the short run impact of this shock on the economy with multipliers and label the labor demand curve LDM- • the medium run partial recovery in the economy due to market forces and label the labor demand curve LDPR . • the medium run full recovery in the economy due to inflation and label the labor demand curve LDFR (Assume the full employment level is reached.) Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The post-recession wage is the pre-recession wage.

QUESTION The marginal revenue product of labor at the local sawmill is MRPL = 20 - 0.5L, where L = the number of workers. If the wage of sawmill workers is K10 per hour, then how many workers will the mill hire? What factors that determine demand for labour by the firm? Who are the main actors in the labour markets? What are their roles?
A restaurant with one, two, three, or four employees can serve 35, 50, 64, or 75 customers, respectively. The marginal product of the third worker is:
