Suppose the demand faced by a labor monopsony is W = 40,000 - 100l, where W is the annual wage and L is the number of workers hired. The labor supply is given by W = 10,000 + 100l.
a. Derive the marginal expenditure equation.
b. Determine the wage the monopsonist would pay and how many workers it would hire.

A pizza shop's marginal product of labor, measured as the number of pizzas delivered per week, is MPl = 55 - 5L, where L is the number of workers. The current average price of a pizza in this highly competitive market is $10. The shop, a monopsonist, faces labor supply of W = 100 + 40l, where W is the wage per week and L is the number of workers.
a. How many workers will the pizza shop hire when the price of pizza is $10?
b. An influx of college students coming back from vacation raises the market price of a pizza to $15. How many workers will the pizza shop hire when the price of pizza is $15?
