If a firm is a perfect competitor in both it's output market and it's labour market, and they experience and increase in the demand for their product, what will happen to the equilibrium wage?
It will increase.
If the firm is in a perfect competition and the demand for their product increase they will make a profit and produce more in the short run. for producing more keeping the capital and technology constant only the labor input can be increased. this will increase the demand for the labors and at a higher demand the wages will increase.

Labour Demand with Perfect Competition in the Labour Market and Perfect Competition in the Output Market in the Long Run. You are the manager of a business that operates in perfectly competitive markets {both the Labour Market and Output Market}. The production function of the business is given by:Q =2L1/4K1/4 .The price of the product is “10”. The wage rate is “1”. The price of capital is “2”. 1. Find the use of labour and capital in the long run....
Labour Demand with Monopsony in the Labour Market and Perfect Competition in the Output Market in Short Run. Suppose a monopsony has a production function Q = 2L. The firm sells its output in a perfectly competitive market at a price of $200 and its market supply of labor is w=20L. a. Determine the profit-maximizing level of employment and wage offered by the firm. b. Make a diagram. Explain why Marginal Cost of Labour increases at a faster rate than...

a. Take a look at figure 9.12, the labour market model. Describe
position B. Explain why B is not a Nash equilibrium. What would
happen?
b.
In a. you’ll describe an adaptation process. However, that might
not take place. For what reasons?
Labour supply Average product of labour Real wage Price-setting curve Equilibrium unemployment Demand-deficient or cyclical unemployment, at B Wage-setting curve Total involuntary unemployment, at B Employment, N The Nash equilibrium At point B, total...
Labour Demand with Monopsony in the Labour Market and Monopoly in the Output Market. You are the manager of a business that operates as a Monopolist in the output market, and it is a Monopsonist in the local labour market. The production function of the business is given by: Q = S2L In the production function, Q is output, L is the number of workers employed, As a Monopolist, the firm faces a market demand given by: P= Q-BQ As...
1. Suppose supply of labour is given by Ls = 10+2W and demand for labour is given by LP = 40-W. o Find the inverse demand function for labour. o Compute the equilibrium outcomes W* and L*. o Demonstrate graphically and numerically what would happen if the firm demanded 15 thousand more hours at every wage level. 2. Consider a market for steelworkers. Suppose LP=LP(w,Q) and LS=L(w,wa) where Q is the quantity of steel produced and wa is the wage...
To sell an extra unit of output, a perfect competitor ———- while an imperfect competitor ————-. a. Does not alter price; must lower price. b. Must hope the market falls; must lower price. c. Does not alter price; does not alter price either. d. Must lower price; must lower pricd.
1. Assume that at a given level of output a monopoly firm has marginal revenue of $9, its ATC is $9, and marginal cost is $7. If this firm were to incrementally increase its output then A) profit will increase B) price will increase C) profit w decrease D) price will equal marginal revenue. 2. For a monopoly firm, if AVC = $20, P = $21, and ATC = $22, then the firm should: A) increase production. B) produce at...
8. The marginal product of labour for a certain firm is MPN = 50 - N, where N is the number of labour hours used in production. The price of output is $2 per unit, a) If the nominal wage is $10/hour, how many hours of labour will be demanded by the firm? b) If the nominal wage is increased to $12/hour, how many hours of labour will be demanded by the firm? c) What is the wage elasticity of...
