y these equations: Lm=1301–21Wm Ls=1221–23Ws where L is labor (in number of workers), W is the wage (in pesos), and the subscripts denote the sector. The economy has 505 workers who are willing and able to work in either sector. a. If workers are free to move between sectors what relationship will there be between Wm and Ws
b. Suppose that the condition in part a holds and wages adjust to equilibrate labor supply and labor demand. Calculate the wage and employment in each sector.

c. Suppose a union establishes itself in manufacturing and pushes manufacturing wage to 25. Calculate employment in manufacturing.

d. In the aftermath of the unionization of manufacturing, all workers who cannot get the highly paid union jobs move to the service sector. Calculate the wage and employment in services

Answer:

a) Wm=Ws

b) W= 45.85pesos

Ls= 167, Lm=338

c) Lm= 776

d) Ls= 505, Ws= 31.13

e) zero unemployment rate

Explanation:

In parts e the currency mentioned in dollars. Lets assume dollars=pesos

a) if workers are free to move between sectors then there must be equal wages in each sector

b) Let W=Wm=Ws

Lm=1301-21W  -------- eq 1

Ls+Lm=505  --------- eq 2

Ls=1221 -23W -------- eq 3

Substitute eq 1 ans eq 3 in eq 2

1301-21W+ 1221-23W=505

W= 45.84 pesos

Ls= 167

Lm= 338

c) Lm= 1301-21Wm

Lm= 1301-21(25)

Lm= 776

There is a capacity for 271 excess labor at 25 pesos wage

d) suppose all of 505 workers couldn't get highly paid union jobs and have to move to services sector

Ls= 1221-23Ws

505= 1221-23Ws

Ws= 31.13 pesos

e) Since labor could get wages of above 15dollars or pesos in both the sectors, there is zero unemployment in the economy

1. Should you have a separate checking and saving account?
iris [78.8K]

Back when interest rates were high, I had just one account. I had a money-market checking account that offered good interest rates and unlimited check writing. But those days are long gone.

I want as high an interest rate as I can get for my savings. In order to get those rates, I am using a money-market savings account. All such accounts I’ve seen restrict the number of transactions I can make in a month. I need to be able to pay bills, no matter how many of them there are — and I never ever want to pay fees for excess transactions!

So I have a separate checking account. It pays less than half the interest rate of my savings account, but I can make as many transactions as I want. The bank offers a bill pay application that I use for most payments, and I can write as many checks as I want to. I can transfer money between the accounts quickly.
