ASSIGNMENT IV
BRANCH: - BT/CSE/CSIT/CE/ME (1ST SEM B.TECH. & DD JULY-2015)
The supply and demand function for labour in the local labor market is given below
QdL= 1250 25W and QsL= -550 + 25W, Where QLd= Quantity demanded of
labour, QLS= Quantity supplied of labour, and W = Wage rate
a) Plot the demand and supply function in a graph and determine the equilibrium
wage rate and quantity demanded and supplied for labor in local labor market.
b) Compute consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus corresponding to
equilibrium wage rate.
c) Analyse the market situation, if actual wage rate is below equilibrium wage rate,
i.e., Rs 30, by drawing a well-labelled demand and supply diagram of the situation.
d) If the Government fixes the minimum wages at Rs. 38, what happens in the local
labour market? Compute consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus
corresponding to minimum wage rate.
e) Analyse the welfare effects of minimum wage policy implemented by government
and comment whether economic welfare will increase or fall by comparing
equilibrium wage rate with minimum wage rate. Use the concept of consumer
surplus, producer surplus and total surplus for your analysis.
Imagine that India is a small country for producing mobile handsets. The domestic
demand and supply function for mobile handsets is given:
QD = 3000 2P and QS = -1000 + 2P
a) By using above demand and supply function, prepare a demand and supply
schedule in given price 800, 900, 1000, 1100 & 1200 and through schedule
determine the equilibrium price and quantity.
Plot the demand and supply function in a graph and determine the domestic price
b) and equilibrium quantity. Analyse the market situation if actual price of the
mobile hand set is Rs.900 &Rs. 1100
c) If free trade is restricted then corresponding to domestic price and quantity,
analyse economic welfare of India by using the concept of consumer surplus,
producer surplus and total surplus.
d) If there is free trade and the world price for mobile hand set is Rs.800/-, then
suggest whether India will import or export mobile handsets and how many units.
e) Analyse the welfare effects of free trade by using the concept of consumer surplus,
producer surplus and total surplus.

Where, L = Labor, K = Capital, Q = Output, Q = f (L, K), L is variable & K is fixed factor input
In this ice cream producing company the only fixed cost is the machine cost, which is
Rs.100.00
The wage rate per labor engaged is Rs 5.00.
The selling price per unit of ice cream cone in the market is Rs 10.00
a) Prepare the above table and level the graph for each cost elements individually
b) Show the relationship between AP & MP with the help of suitable diagram
c) Show the relationship between AVC & MC with the help of suitable diagrams
d) Show how AP, MP & AVC, MC curves are mirror image to each other with suitable
diagram. Also discuss the relationship between production and cost of production.
