question 65

Essay

Draw a market demand curve and market supply curve for automobiles and label these curves D1 and S1, respectively. (Be sure to label all axes!) On the same graph, show what would happen if the auto workers union required all manufacturers of automobiles to now provide health insurance for ALL workers and their dependents. (Note: Assume that prior to this change, manufacturers of automobiles do NOT provide health insurance coverage to 100 percent of their employees and/or dependents.) What do you expect to happen to the price of automobiles as a result of this change in union policy?
