At the given wage and price level, Blewitt's should hire Suppose that the price of blueberries increases to $15 per pound, but the wage rate remains at $200. On the previous graph, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot Blewitt's labor demand curve when the output price is $15 per pound. Now Blewitt's should hire when the output price is $15 per pound. Assuming that all blueberry-producing firms have similar production schedules, an increase in the price of blueberries will cause the blueberry pickers to Suppose that wages increase to $250 due to an increased demand for workers in this market.

9. Suppose that in the island country, there are a large number of identical firms. Both the product market and the labor market are perfectly competitive. Each firm has the following production function: q= √En + E + ln(5En + 5Ei + 10) – In(10), where En is the employment of native workers and E; is the employment of migrant workers. Which of the following statements is correct? (a) Native workers and migrant workers are perfect complements in the production process. A sudden increase in E; lowers native employment in the short run as well as in the long run. (b) Native workers and migrant workers are imperfect complements in the produc- tion process. A sudden increase in E; lowers native employment in the short run but not in the long run. (c) Native workers and migrant workers are perfect substitutes in the production process. A sudden increase in E; lowers native employment in the short run but not in the long run. (d) Native workers and migrant workers are perfect substitutes in…

Assume a firm is trying to produce q0 units of output at the lowest total cost. The wage decreases, rotating the isocost line as shown in the below graph. Make the necessary changes to the graph to show the input combination that will now produce q0 at the lowest total cost. Make sure you show the new levels of labor and capital.
A perfectly competitive, profit-maximizing firm gets $50 per unit it sells and pays its workers $10 per hour. When this firm hires an additional worker at this production point, we know that unit of labor provides units of output. (Enter only a number and decimal point as needed in the blank.)
Suppose, the demand and supply curve in a US manufacturing firm are provided as follows: ES = 20 + 2w ED = 70 − 3w where E is the level of employment and w is the hourly wage. Let’s assume this firm shows the representative wage of the manufacturing industry. Suppose the price of each unit of capital used in this industry is $25. The price of output is constant at $50 per unit. The production function is f(E,K) = E½K ½ , so that the marginal product of labor is MPE = (½)(K/E) ½ If the current capital stock is fixed at 1,600 units, how much labor should the industry employ in the short run? How much profit will the industry earn?
Explain how the marginal cost of labor (MCL) curves differ between a firm in a perfectly competitive input market and a firm in a non-perfectly competitive input market, and illustrate on a graph.
Tom Petersen is considering renovating bar stools at Dreamland. The productionfunction for new bar stools is given byq= 0.5L0.5where q is the number of stools produced during the renovation week and l represents thea number of worker hours employed during the period. The firm is a price taker for both bar stools(which sell for P) and workers (which can be hired at a wage rate of w per hour).a. What is the cost function for this firm C(w,q)?b. What is the supply function for bar stools q(P,w)?c. What is the profit function for this firm (P,w)?d. What is the firm’s demand function for labor function L(P,w)?

Graph the demand for labor as a function of the wage using this data. What happens to the number of workers when wage goes up? How many workers will be hired and how many cookies made at a wage of 40.50? Please give me the equations so I can understand how to create this graph.
A. Consider a firm who sells output at p=10 and has a short run production function Q(L)=20L-L2. Its wage rate is w=40. Suppose the firm sells in a perfectly competitive market and is a price taker in the input market, how much labor will it hire to maximize profits?
A firm has the production function q=L2K The wage rate is w=55 and the rental rate is r=44. In the long run, what is the optimal quantity of labor to produce q=1,618? Round your answer to the nearest whole number
