Ian works at an iron smelter in Pittsburgh, the center of iron production in America. Due to the difficulty in measuring the productivity of individual employees, Ian's employer as well as the other iron smelters all pay an efficiency wage. Adjust the wage line on the graph to reflect this situation. What characteristic of efficiency-wage jobs is not supported by the situation shown in the graph? The wage rate will eventually return to the market-clearing level. Efficiency wages result in an increase in the rate of unemployment. Elevated wages serve as an economic incentive to work harder. Efficiency wage jobs result in a surplus of workers at the wage being offered. Wage ($ per hour) Wage Quantity of workers (in thousands) S O
Suppose Marcus eats nothing but burritos for dinner. He buys 30 burritos each month. During the last couple of weeks, Marcus noticed a decrease in the price of burritos. The price of burritos fell from $6.00 per burrito last month to $5.75 per burrito this month. Assume that Marcus has a fixed income of $180 that he can spend on burritos. How many burritos can Marcus afford to buy at the new price of $5.75?
Please help!! Barbara is an economist researcher and commentator. The Eco Books Ltd offers her $13,000 for writing a book about economics principles. Barbara has never written a book about economics principles, but accepts the offer and writes the economics book called 'Principles of Economics'. She assigns the book's copyright for $13,400 to The Eco Books Ltd. The book is published and she is paid. She also sells the book's manuscript to the Eco Books Ltd's library for $4,350 plus several interview manuscripts she has collected while writing the economics book for which she receives $3,200. Discuss each of the above payments to Barbara separately and states if these are income from Barbara's personal exertion. Would your answer differ if Barbara wrote the Principles of Economics' book before signing a contract with The Eco Books Ltd in her spare time and only decided to sell it later? Support your answer by referring to relevant statutory and case law.
Scenario 1: Suppose you are a salesperson is a high end clothing store known for its personal service. You receive a salary plus a commission equal to 10% of the sales/revenues that you sell. The manager of your store informs you that prices of the clothing in your store will increase by 10%. (1) Assuming everything else remains the same, would you be happy or sad about the price increase? Explain why or why not. Scenario 2: Suppose you are a salesperson at Macy’s, a department store. You receive a salary plus a commission equal to 10% of the sales/revenues that you sell. Macy’s informs you that price of the clothing in your store will increase by 10%. (2) Assuming everything else remains the same, would you be happy or sad about the price increase? Explain why or why not.
Problem 3: Labor Contracts. Suppose that Lionel Messi is negotiating a contract with FC Barcelona. Messi has an offer from Real Madrid for $20 million a year. If he signs with FC Barcelona, they will earn $90 million in revenue from the signing. FC Barcelona's next best option is to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. They would earn $70 million from signing Ronaldo and would pay him a contract of $10 million. Messi's bargaining power is w = a) What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargain- ing? What is Messi's surplus and what is FC Barcelona's surplus? b) Due to an injury, FC Barcelona would only earn $50 million from signing Ronaldo but everything else remains the same. What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FC Barcelona's surplus?
Suppose apartments are in four locations: Location A, Location B, Location C, and Location D. Location A is in the city, where your job is. Location B is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location A. Location C is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location B, and Location D is 10 minutes farther than Location C. In turn, similar apartments in Location B rent for $125 less per month than apartments in Location A, apartments in Location C rent for $125 less than in Location B, and apartments in Location D rent for $125 less than in Location C. Suppose the value of your time is $18 per hour and you work 21 days per month, with each day requiring a round-trip commute from your apartment to work. Part 2 For simplicity, assume rent and the opportunity cost of your time commuting to work are the only factors influencing the location in which to rent an apartment.
Rebecca's wage is $10 per hour, and she can work up to 60 hours per week. The table and the budget constraint graph show the trade-off that she faces between income and leisure in one week of potential work at this wage. Her manager raises her wage to $15 per hour. Change the graph below to illustrate her new income-leisure budget constraint. The line and the individual endpoints are movable. Assume that nothing else changes. Hours Leisure time Income ($) (hours) worked at $10/hour 0 200 400 600 0 20 40 60 60 40 20 0 Income ($) 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Leisure (hours)
Consider a single mother with the utility function U = 2/3 log(x) + 1/3 log(), where x is consumption and is leisure. The mother can work up to 100 hours per month. Any of the 100 hours that are not worked are leisure hours. She earns a wage of $10 per hour and pays no taxes. The consumption price is normalized to $1. To be able to work, she has to incur a child care cost of $5 for every hour worked. a. Suppose that there is no tax and welfare benefits. How many hours will she work and what will be her consumption level? Draw the graph depicting her budget set with consumption on the vertical axis and leisure on the horizontal axis. b. Suppose that the government introduces a negative income tax (NIT) that guarantees an income of $200 per month. The benefit is taken away one for one as earnings increase. Draw the new budget set. Compute the new number of hours worked and consumption level. Has consumption increased and is the mother better off? Why or why not? c. Now…

Sheila's income and leisure preferences can be expressed by U(Y, L) = 2 x (YL - 40Y - 100L) This utility function implies that Sheila's marginal utility of leisure is 2Y - 200 and her marginal utility of income 2L-80. In a week, there are 168 hours available for her to allocate between work and leisure. Sheila earns $10 per hour after taxes and receives $120 worth of welfare benefits each week during the pandemic regardless of how many hours she decides to work. Assume that the price index is 1. a) What is Sheila's budget line? b) What is Sheila's marginal rate of substitution when L = 100 and she is on her budget line? c) What is Sheila's optimal relationship between income and labour hours? d) What is Sheila's optimal amount of labour hours, leisure hours, and income? e) At the optimal allocation, what is Sheila's utility level?
