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

e. Now suppose that workers have a reservation wage of 15 dollars= that is, rather than taking a job at a wage below 15 dollars, they would rather wait for a 25 dollar union job to open up. Calculate the wage and employment in each sector. What is the economy’s unemployment rate?

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

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.

Managers used managerial information for all of the following except a.to analyze the performance of a company's operations b.to
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

b.to evaluate the company's stock performance

Explanation:

Evaluating a company stock performance would interest investors more than the managers of the company.  Investors are profits driven. Their primary concern is to predict the future price of a stock as accurately as possible and profit from the price movement.

Managers are concerned with the profitability and long term growth of the company. They use managerial information to understand the current state and make better plans for the future.  Managers use managerial reports to identify areas that need cost-cutting to maximize the profits.

Firms colluding: a. Earn short run normal profits. B. Increase competition by firms through advances in technology. C. Earn shor
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

D. Earn short run economic profits

Explanation:

A cartel can be defined as a formal agreement reached (collusion) in an oligopolistic industry between two or more business firms that are saddled with the responsibility of producing goods and services in order to make price and output decisions such as price regulation, total level of output or supply, allocation of customers, market shares, territory allocation, division of profits, collusive bidding etc.

This ultimately implies that, when a group of independent firms in an oligopolistic industry collude by reaching a formal agreement to regulate supply, as well as manipulate or regulate prices, they do so to increase their profits and market dominance.

Hence, firms colluding earn short run economic profits.
