Q13) option c).
As wage falls, substitution effect says to work less & income effect says to work more , bcoz wage fall has resulted in fall in income
Q14) option c)
Income effect is shown by rotating the budget line.
Now for substitution effect, utility level is constant, so we move only along the IC ,in a direction of good, that had become relatively cheaper.
Q15) option B)
As wages fall, & Labor has withdrawn from the market, so substitution effect is dominant than the income effect , which says that labor should work & not withdraw from the market, bcoz income has already reduced.
Q16) option C)
As non Labor income has risen,so the minimum wage level demanded rises, so reservation wages rise.
Only when leisure is considered a normal good.
Q7) option C)
At eqm, MRS = wage
Slope of IC = slope of budget constraint
Q18) option D)
Isoprofit imply a constant level of profits
needed all the answers for the questions 13. If leisure is a normal good and the...

In the leisure-income model, the wage constraint shows a. the points that maximize a worker's utility b. all points that are equally preferred c. the wage rates that affect work decisions d. the available combinations of leisure and income 2. The slope of a wage constraint reflects the: a. rate at which a person is willing to substitute leisure for income c. income effect b. price of leisure d. substitution effect 3. When a worker maximizes her...

Draw the budget constraint between “leisure hours” on the horizontal axis and “wage income” on the vertical when the wage rate is $40 per hour. Mark an optimum point A that is meaningful. Draw a new budget constraint when the wage rate falls to $30 per hour. Show a new optimum point B. On your indifference curve diagram, decompose the effect of the wage decrease into a “substitution effect” and an “income effect” (What is the direction of the substitution...
(A) True or False, and explain! (30%) 1. It is impossible to explain why workers have the same productivity have different wage in a frictionless labor market. 2. If a person decreases working hour when his or her wage increase, we know that there is no substitution effect. 3. If a labor market has only one buyer of labor, we called it a monopolist. 4. The reservation wage of an unemployed worker is usually zero. 5. A wage increase would...
Suppose you have 24 hours per day that you can allocate between leisure and working (i) Draw the budget constraint between “leisure hours” on the horizontal axis and “wage income” on the vertical when the wage rate is $40 per hour. Mark an optimum point A that is meaningful. Draw a new budget constraint when the wage rate falls to $30 per hour. Show a new optimum point B.

6. On a standard income-leisure diagram, Tony has flatter indifference curves than Bruce, but both are negatively sloped. It is probably true that: a. Both like leisure and income, but Bruce values leisure relatively more than Tony does. b. Bruce likes leisure but dislikes income while Tony likes both c. Bruce likes income but dislikes leisure while Tony likes both d. Tony values leisure more highly compared to income than Bruce does 7. As an individual’s wage rate gets higher,...
(Problem 1d). Leandro has 16 hours per day that he can allocate to work or leisure. His job pays a wage rate of $20. Leandro decides to consume 8 hours of leisure. His indifference curves have the usual shape: they slope downward, they do not cross, and they have the characteristic convex shape. Draw Leandro's time allocation budget line for a typical day, with income on the vertical axis and hours of leisure on the horizontal axis. Leandro's decision to...
Questions 4-5 refer to the following diagram representing Natasha's budget constraint and preferences Leisure 4. Consider the three combinations of leisure and income represented by points A, B, and C. Which of the following is a correct statement? a. Natasha prefers A to B b. Natasha prefers B to C Natasha prefers A to C d. Natasha prefers C to E 5. At point B. Natasha's marginal rate of substitution: a. exceeds the wage and Natasha would like to work...
When leisure is a normal good, the income effect from a decrease in wages is evident in a. a desire to consume more leisure. b. a desire to consume less leisure. c. an upward-sloping labor-supply curve. d. a shift in labor demand.
