The tables show the labour market and the aggregate production function schedule for the country of Pickett. Plot both the aggregate labour market and aggregate production function. Using these graphs, show the equilibrium real wage and quantity of labour. At the equilibrium in the labour market, what would be the level of real GDP associated with that equilibrium? Explain why the equilibrium in the labour market can be used to find the level of real GDP.
