Hint: Find the intercept points first. If you were to shift this line out, what is the approximate least-cost combination of labor and capital when packaging 1,000 cases of fruit juice?Suppose that John could work 365 days per year and could earn $200 per day for each day he worked. Draw his budget lines with respect to his labor-leisure choice.Cindy gains utility from consumption C and leisure L. The most leisure she can consume in any given week is 168 hours. Her utility function is U ( C, L) = C x L. This functional form implies that Cindy’s marginal rate of substitution is C/L. Cindy receives $630 each week from her great-grandmother—regardless of how much Cindy works. What is Cindy’s reservation wage?

- Consider the labor–leisure budget constraint curve on the graph. This curve shows trade‑offs between income and leisure that must be made over the course of one week. Assume there are no artificial barriers to limits on hours worked and that the wage is $25 per hour. Determine the vertical and horizontal intercepts. vertical intercept: $ horizontal intercept: hProblem #3: Labor Unions (20 points) Sarah is thinking if she should join the labor union in their company. Her utility function is U (c, 1) = (cl)05, where c denotes consumption, and I denotes leisure. She has 16 hours each day to allocate between work and leisure. 1. Given her non-labor income is zero, how many hours will Sarah work at $7 wage/hour? In addition, how much consumption and leisure can she afford, and how much utility can she achieve from this? 2. If the labor unioh bargains for a $10.5 overtime pay rate for work hours beyond 8 hours, will Sarah benefit from this proposal? 3. If, instead, the labor union proposes an 8-hour workday, will Sarah benefit from it?11. The backward-sloping labor supply curve Frances has 80 hours per week to devote to working or to leisure. She is paid an hourly wage and can work at her job as many hours a week as she likes. The following graph illustrates Frances's weekly income-leisure tradeoff. The three lines labeled BC,, BC2, and BC3 illustrate her time allocation budget at three different wages; points A, B, and C show her optimal time allocation choices along each of these constraints.

- (Based on Chapter 2, Problem 1 of Benjamin et al., 2031) Amit has $2000 of annual non-labour income. He has 80 hours per week that he can allocate between labour and leisure, for 80 x 52 = 4160 hours per year. His current wage rate is $20 per hour and he chooses to work 2200 hours a year. (a) Draw a leisure - labour diagram, clearly indicating Amit's current labour supply decision. (Your diagram should be clearly labeled and include Amit's budget line and an indifferent curve showing his leisure and consumption of goods and services at his optimal choice. Use the figures provided to find the y-intercept and his consumption if he doesn't work.) (b) Amit's wage rate increases to $25 per hour. In response, he increases his labour supply to 2300 hours. If he were "compensated" accordingly, at this new wage rate he would be just indifferent to working 2200 hours at his original wage rate and working 2400 hours at the new wage. Illustrate Amit's new optimal choice. Use the information…Can you draw( i need a graphs) labor supply function : U(c,l)=log(c)+log(l) where, c-represents the consumption level of the individual and l-represents the leisure, while the market wage is 10 and available time is 20.
