Those who want to hire labor are the demanders. The workers enter the work force providing labor to the market place so they are the suppliers.) |Wage |Quantity Demanded |Quantity Supplied | |$50‚000 |20

Explain why or why not. c. “It is possible that a rational consumer will not purchase any units of the product represented by these data.” Do you agree? Explain why or why not. Answer: Missing total utility data‚ top – bottom: 18; 33. The missing total utility for the second unity can be found by adding the marginal utility (change in utility) to the total utility for the first unit. By consuming
