The following diagram of a labour market is given. Equilibrium is determined by the interaction between the demand for labour (and the supply of labour (S). Wm We No Quantity of labour Equilibrium is reached where the quantity of workers demanded equals the quantity of workers supplied. This is indicated by the intersection of the demand and supply curves (point E). The equilibrium wage rate (that is, the price of labour) is We, and the equilibrium quantity (that is, the level of employment) is Ne. For scenario 9, answer the following questions: 12.1 Explain with reference to the provided diagram what the impact of the imposition of a minimum wage (Wm) will have on the market. (3) 12.2 Explain the difference between nominal (or money) wages and real wages.

Table 14.11 shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product at each of those levels, and a monopolys marginal revenue. What is the monopolys marginal revenue product at each level of employment? If the monopoly operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is 20, what is the films profit maximizing level of employment?
How does a bilateral monopoly affect the equilibrium wage and employment levels compared to a perfectly competitive labor market?

Carolyn owns a soda factory and hires workers in a competitive labor market to bottle soda. Her company's weekly output a bottle soda varies with the number of workers hired, as shown in the following table. Complete the following table before answering: Number Of Workers Cases Per Week Total Revenue $ per week VMP $ per worker 0 0 1 200 2 360 3 480 4 560 5 600 A. If each case sells for $10 more than the cost of the materials used in producing it in the competitive market wage is $1000 per week how many workers should Carolyn hire? How many cases will be produced per week?…
A company has the following production relationships: Number of Workers Output 11 18 26 33 4 The marginal product of the fourth worker is units. If the marginal product of the third worker were 7 units, and the price of the output is $10, the third worker's marginal revenue product is $ If the marginal product of the third worker were 7 units, and the price of the output is $10, then the maximum amount the company would be willing to pay the third worker if he or she were hired is $ Suppose initially the marginal product of the third worker were 7 units and the price of the output is $10. Then the output market improves dramatically and the output price doubles to $20.

Question 3 of a diagram, 3.1 Explain, with the aid assume that the demand for low-skilled labour in South Africa is W=30100=E where E is the number of workers in (millions) and w is the hourly wage. There are 100 million fitters who labour supply is inelastic. If South Africa opened its borders to immigration of 10 million low skilled labourers - what would be the effect in the labour market?
