Answer:
As the question was not complete. I have attached the complete question in the attachment. Please refer to attachment.
Explanation:
<em>By using, LD = 95- 3w and w1 = 7.25 and w2 = 9. We get, </em>
<em>LD1 = 95-3(7.25) = 73.25 </em>
<em>LD2 = 95-3(9) = 68 </em>
Elasticity = Change in labor demand/ change in wage rate = ((68- 73.25)/ 73.25)/ ((9-7.25/7.25)) = -0.33
The 11 percent change in the wage rate causes, 33% change in labor demanded, as shown by the elasticity, the labor demand decreases with increase in wage rate.

Answer:
bond market value $660
Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%
First we do the annuity:
C 24.25 (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )
time 24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)
rate 0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)
PV $339.55
Then present value of the maturity
Maturity 1,000.00 the face value of the bond
time 24.00
rate 0.04850
PV 320.89
Finally we add them together:
PV coupon payment $339.5545
PV maturity $320.8910
Total $660.4455
rounding to nearest dollar
bond market value $660
