Consider a low wage market. Assume that the market demand curve is P = 20 - Q/500, and the market supply curve is P = 2 + Q/1,000. Workers in this market are not presently covered by the minimum wage, but the government is considering implementing such legislation. If implemented, this law would require employers in the market to pay workers a wage rate of $10 per hour.
Compute the dollar value of the impact of the policy on employers, workers, and society as a whole.
