Answer to Question 1

A monopsony hires the quantity of labor so that the value of marginal product of labor (VMP) is equal to the marginal cost of labor (MCL). This condition means that initially the VMP is above the wage (W). When a minimum wage is imposed, the marginal cost of labor decreases because it becomes equal to the minimum wage. Thus, the firm will hire more workers up to the point at which VMP = W.

Answer to Question 2

C
