Provide answers to each of the following based on LD = 500 – 20W
1 - What is the wage when labor demanded is equal to 220?
2 - What is the labor demanded when the wage is equal to $17?
3 - At what wage will this firm demand 0 workers?
4 - How many workers might his firm demand when the wage is equal to 0?
1)
LD=500-20W
LD=220
220=500-20W
20W=280
W=14
the wage is $14
=======
2)
W=17
LD=500-20*17
LD=160
the labor demanded is 160
=========
3)
LD=0
0=500-20W
20W=500
W=25
At wage of $25 there will be zero demand for labor
=======
4)
W=0
LD=500-20*0=500
The firm demand for labor is 500 if the wage is zero.
