An economy can produce good 1 using labor and capital and good 2 using labor and land. The total supply of labor is 100 units. Given the supply of capital, the outputs of the two goods depend on labor input as follows: The marginal product of labor curves corresponding to the production functions (not given in the problem) are as follows: Suppose that the price of good 2 relative to that of good 1 is 2. For simplicity, define P_1 = 1 and P_2 = 2. Given that the total labor allocated between these sectors must sum to 100, determine graphically the wage rate and the allocation of labor between

Given the supply of capital, the outputs of the two goods depend on labor input as follows: The marginal product of labor curves corresponding to the production functions (not given in the problem) are as follows: Suppose that the price of good 2 relative to that of good 1 is 2. For simplicity, define P_1 = 1 and P_2 = 2. Given that the total labor allocated between these sectors must sum to 100, determine graphically the wage rate and the allocation of labor between the two sectors. Using the multipoint curve drawing tool, draw the demand curve for labor in sector 1 by plotting all eight points corresponding to 10 workers employed up to 90 workers employed. Properly label this curve. Using the multipoint curve drawing tool, draw the demand curve for labor in sector 2 by plotting all eight points corresponding to 10 workers employed up to 90 workers employed. Properly label this curve. Using the point drawing tool, plot the equilibrium wage and quantity of labor employed in sector 1. Properly label this point. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Labor employed in sector 2 starts from the right and is equal to 100 minus the labor employed in sector 1 After plotting the final point of your multipoint curve, press the Esc key on your keyboard to end the line.
