Table 14.12 shows the quantity demanded and supplied in the labor market for driving city buses in the town of Unionville, where all the bus drivers belong to a union. What would the equilibrium wage and quantity be in this market if no union existed? Assume that the union has enough negotiating power to raise the wage to 4 per hour higher than it would otherwise be. Is there now excess demand or excess supply of labor?

Consider a manufacturing firm in a labor market that isperfectly competitive. There are two kinds of workers: productiveworkers whose marginal revenue product is $48,000 per year, andlazy workers whose marginal revenue product is $40,000 per year. Itis difficult for the firm to differentiate between productive andlazy workers. A local college offers a new yearlong astronomy course. Althoughthe cost of tuition is the same for both types of workers, thepsychic cost of having to work hard and get a passing grade islower for productive workers because they are able to learn morequickly than lazy workers. Therefore, the cost of taking the class(including the cost of tuition as well as the psychic cost) is$5,000 per year for a productive worker and $10,000 per year for alazy worker. Because astronomy has little relevance tomanufacturing, taking the class does not increase or decrease aworker's productivity. The firm uses the class as a way to differentiate betweenproductive and lazy…
Suppose the supply of soccer players is give by the the equation Ls=W/10 and the valu of the marginal product is given by VMPL=100,000 - 100LD. Question 1 Compute the equilibrium number of players hired in a competitive labor market. Round to the nearest whole number. Question 2 Compute the equilibrium the wage paid to each player in a competitive labor market. Round to the nearest dollar.
