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:
The overhead for the year was $130,075
Explanation:
GIVEN INFORMATION -
ESTIMATED ACTUAL
Manufacturing overhead $132,440 $128,600
Machine hours 2800 2750
Here for calculating the overhead for the year we will use the following formula =
\frac{Estimated Manufacturing Overhead}{Estiamted Machine Hours}\times Actual Machine Hours
= \frac{\$132,440}{2800}\times 2750
\$47.3\times 2750 = \$130,075
Therefore the overhead for the year was $130,075
