Question

as a percentage, by how much will galoshes r' us change their use of labor if wages fall by 23.4#.4% ? enter a negative percentage if the firm will decrease the amount of labor that they hire.

Answer 1

Galoshes increase their labor by 85.8% if there is a decrease in 37.4% in wages using elasticity of labor.

Elasticity of labor is defined as the percentage change in demand for labor to percentage change in demand for labor to percentage change in wage rate.

Elasticity of labor= % demand of labor/% change in wage rate

Let % wage decrease be x
Δ demand for labor =L
i) Galorhes R = ΔL/-Δx = -2.3
ii) Emerson R = ΔL/-ΔX= -3.2
III) Wayne= ΔL/-ΔX= 1.7
iv) Bull stearns = ΔL/-Δx= 4.6

Therefore, emerson,lake and palmer increases the amounts
Hence 2nd option
2) Galorhes R= ΔL--37.3=-2.3
                     = 37.3× 2.3
                    = 85.79%
