1. Consider a labor market in which the intersection of the demand curve and the supply curve occurs on the “backward-bending” part of the labor supply curve (i.e. the part where the labor supply curve is downward sloping), but the demand curve is steeper than the supply curve. Which of the following best describes the effect a shift to the right of the labor demand curve?
a) Equilibrium wage increases, equilibrium employment increases
b) Equilibrium wage decreases, equilibrium employment increases
c) Equilibrium wage increases, equilibrium employment decreases
d) Equilibrium wage decreases, equilibrium employment decreases
2. Compared to a firm in a competitive market, a unionized firm usually has:
a) Higher wages, higher employment
b) Higher wages, lower employment
c) Lower wages, higher employment
d) Lower wages, lower employment
3. Two identical workers:

What is the money multiplier
: Assume a model where the currency ratio is 0.4 (c = 0.4), the excess reserve ratio is 0.2 (e = 0.2), and the required reserve ratio is 0.1(r = 0.1). What is the money multiplier? What change in the money supply results from an open market sale of $25..

Deposits that results from the initial change in reserves
: Assume that the Fed purchases a security for $75,000 from FirstBank. Also assume that the reserve ratio is 0.2 (20%). How does the open market purchase affect the T-accounts for FirstBank, SecondBank and Third Bank? What is the total increase in depo..

Suppose the market interest rate
: Suppose the market interest rate is 10 percent. Would you be willing to lend $10,000 if you were guaranteed to receive $1,000 at the end of each of the next 12 years plus a $5,000 payment 15 years from now? Why or why not?
