Question

Consider an economy in which the marginal product of labor, MPN, is: MPN = 600 - 3N, where N is the amount of labor used. The amount of labor supplied, NS, is given by: NS = 24 + 10w + 2T, where w is the real wage, and T is a lump-sum tax levied on individuals. Suppose that T = 29. The equilibrium value of employment is \boxed{} (round your answer to two decimal places). The equilibrium value of the real wage is \boxed{} (round your answer to two decimal places). Suppose in this situation, the government passes minimum-wage legislation that requires firms to pay a real wage greater than or equal to $11.93. Which of the following best explains the effect on the labor market?
