Suppose that you have been hired to analyze wages in a simple market. The demand for labour and supply of labour can be represented by the following equations, where L stands for the quantity of labour (measured in thousands of workers) and W stands for the wage rate (measured in dollars per hour): Demand: Supply: P = 100 - 5W S = 5W a. Calculate the equilibrium wage (price) and quantity of labour employed in this market. b. A new...

c) Suppose that in equilibrium the Canadian dollar is depreciating relative to the US dollar by 5% per year. Suppose changes in the US cause the US real interest rate to rise from 3.5% to 4.5% and the US inflation rate to increase from 4% to 6%. Assuming a risk premium of one percentage point (Canada is riskier), after the Canadian economy has settled to a new equilibrium, what is its...

In an effort to keep low-wage workers' salaries commensurate
with the cost of living, a number of states have amended their
constitutions to allow the minimum wage to be adjusted with
inflation.
You are the accountant for a company that owns a chain of 12
fast food restaurants in a state which adjusts the minimum wage for
inflation. Each restaurant employs 65 workers, each averaging 20
hours per week at the current federal minimum wage, $7.25 per
hour.

Suppose the population consists of only high-ability workers (who make up 80% of the population) and low-ability workers (who make up 20% of the population). The present value of a high-ability worker’s lifetime productivity is $600,000, while the present value of a low-ability worker’s lifetime productivity is $400,000. Suppose the costs of education for high-type workers are $20,000/year, while the costs of education for low-type workers are $30,000/year. Firms would like to separate the two types of workers, and will...
