Answer:
Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50.
Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied
$12.50 375,000 625,000
This will result in a surplus of labor (625,000 higher than 375,000)
Which of the following statements are true?
- Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. As with all price floors, a deadweight loss results, because the quantity supplied is much greater than the quantity demanded. In this case, the price of labor is the wage, and the deadweight loss = structural unemployment
-
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Since a labor surplus exists, the price of labor should start to decrease in order to match the equilibrium price.
-
If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium. The quantity supplied of labor is much greater than the quantity demanded for labor resulting in a surplus.
Answer:
b. number of shares issued is 80,000
Explanation:
In the question, the common stock par value and the total amount is given. Moreover, paid-in capital is also given.
So, if we compute it, then it gives the number of shares issued because it contains a formula which is shown below:
Number of shares issued = (Common stock ÷ Par value)
= ($80,000 ÷ $1)
= 80,000 shares
So, paid-in capital is not relevant in the computation part, and therefore, the other options are wrong except b. option.
Answer:
The answer is: True
Explanation:
First of all, the classical dichotomy in economics assumes that real variables of the economy such as output of goods and services and real interest rates are not influenced by what happens to their nominal counterparts, such as the monetary value of output and nominal interest rate. It doesn´t consider inflation or the nominal supply, in other words money supply is neutral in the economy (because its value is adjusted to inflation).
The real problem with this theory, at least in the short run, is that in real life money supply, interest rates and inflation do affect the GDP of a country. When the money supply of an economy is increased then aggregate demand also increases. More money equals more demand. That happens because the prices of goods and services doesn´t adjust as fast as a change in the money supply. Also this theory doesn´t consider the monetary circuit theory about money being "created" by the banking system every time a loan is made.
