(B) Minimum wage workers will experience a decrease in hourly pay. (C) The number of people employed will decrease because people do not want work for low wages.

1. Consider a low-wage labor market. Workers in this market are not presently covered by the minimum wage. But the government is still considering implementing such legislation. If implemented, this law would require employers in the market to pay workers a $5 hourly wage. Suppose all workers in the market are equally productive, the current market clearing wage is $4 per hour., and that at this market- clearing wage there are 600 employed workers. Further suppose that under the minimum...

Suppose the market supply and demand for a good is given by QP = 390 - 30P, and QS = 20P - 10, where Pis the price measured in dollars, QS is the quantity supplied, and QP is the quantity demanded. The government imposes a per-unit tax of $2. By how much will the quantity sold change because of the tax? What is the per-unit burden of tax on buyers? What is the per-unit burden of tax on sellers?
