baherus [9]

Answer:

Effects

Potential GDP decrease

the quantity of labor increase

the real wage rate decrease

and potential GDP per hour of labor decrease

An increase in the population decrease the real wage rate and increase the equilibrium quantity of labor.

Explanation:

Population growth affects many phenomena such as the age structure of a country’s population, international migration, economic inequality, and the size of a country’s work force.

Thinking in the graph of the labor market where combines hour real wage with the quantity of labor, if we increase the population , that means the demand of labor will increase so, the wage will decrease.

GDP per hour worked is a measure of labor productivity

The equilibrium is where the quantity demanded of labor is equal to the quantity supplied.

So, if the if the population increase the equilibrium quantity of labor will increase.

Effects Potential GDP is Potential gross domestic product decrease

the quantity of labor increase

the real wage rate decrease

and potential GDP per hour of labor decrease

Demand and cost information for a monopoly

sattari [20]

The correct choice is A)

Profit if maximized where price is equal to $20.

At this price, MR = MC.

Please see the attached PDF.

Explanation:

The profit-maximizing choice for the monopoly will be to produce at the quantity where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost:

That is, the point where MR = MC.

If the monopoly produces a lower quantity, then MR > MC at those levels of output, and the firm can make higher profits by expanding output.

Cheers!

Basile [38]

Answer:

Hilary is a retired teacher who lives in Miami and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, she is willing to work 10 hours per week. At $65 per hour, she is willing to work 19 hours per week.

Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Hilary’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 2.37 , which means that Hilary’s supply of labor over this wage range is elastic.

Explanation:

Midpoint elasticity = (Change in labor supplied / Average labor supplied) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)

= [(19 - 10) / (19 + 10) / 2] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50) / 2]

= [9 / (29 / 2)] / [15 / (115 / 2)]

= (9 / 14.5) / (15 / 57.5)

= 0.62/0.26

Midpoint elasticity = 2.37

Once elasticity is greater than 1, supply of labor is Elastic.
