Suppose that a firm's labor demand curve is given by w = 20 - L. Currently, a firm pays its workers $10. The production function for the firm is y = 4L, where y is the output. The firm sells its product for $3.

The firm decides to shift to an efficiency wage model, where they pay workers $15. The new production function with the efficiency wage is y = 2L^2. The firm still sells its product for $3. How much higher are profits for the firm with the efficiency wage, compared to without?

Suppose that labor demand is given by w = 80 - L, while labor supply is given by w = L. Suppose that, during a recession, labor demand decreases to w = 50 - L. If there are sticky wages, how many people become unemployed?

The nation of Leisureland can produce two goods, bicycles and bowling balls.

The western region of Leisureland can, if it devotes all its resources to bicycle production, produce 100 bicycles per month. Alternatively, it could devote all its resources to bowling balls and produce 400 per month—or it could produce any combination of bicycles and bowling balls lying on a straight line between these two extremes.

The eastern region of Leisureland can, if it devotes all its resources to bicycle production, produce 400 bicycles per month. Alternatively, it could devote all its resources to bowling balls and produce 100 per month—or it could produce any combination of bicycles and bowling balls lying on a straight line between these two extremes.

What it is the opportunity cost of producing an additional bowling ball measured in terms of forgone bicycles in western Leisureland?
