  2. Backward-bending labor supply curve. Income effect dominates Wage W1 x Substitution effect dominates O H1 Hours worked

  3. Output x Diminishing returns MPPL O Q of Labor

  4. Firm’s demand curve Rs. x MC4 MC3 MC2 W = MCL W1 MCL X MC0 MRPL = VMPL O Q4 Q3 Q1 Q2 Q0 Q of Labor

  5. Surplus for firm Rs. W = MCL W1 Wages MRPL = VMPL O Q1 QL Q0

  7. Discounting • Rate of discount = 10% • The formula for discounting is as follows: Xi (1+ r)i where PV is present value Xi is earnings from the investment in the year i r is the rate of discount Σis the sum over i, of the discounted earnings. PV = Σ i i

  8. Present value of machine that generates Rs. 1,000 for four years and then sold as scrap for Rs. 1,000 at the end of year 4? Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 1 1,000 1,000 1,000 2,000 + + = + 1 2 3 4 1.1 1.1 1.1 1.1 1.1 + + + = = 826 751 1366 Rs. 3852 909 If machine costs less than this then Buy, otherwise don’t Buy. Net present value = PV – Purchase cost
