<span>Price elasticity of demand is -1.25 =  Ed</span>

Price elasticity of supply = Es

Share of tax by consumers = 0.80 = Es / (Ed + Es) = Es / Es + 1.25

0.8 Es + 1 = Es

1 / 0.2 = Es = 5

Therefore, the price elasticity of supply is 5

Richland’s real GDP per person is $10,000, and Poorland’s real GDP per person is $5,000. However, Richland’s real GDP per person
dangina [55]

Answer:

It will take approximately 36 Years to Poorland to catch up to Richland.

Explanation:

Given data:

The GDP increase in Poorland per year = 1 %

The GDP increase in Richland per year = 3 %

Calculations:

Step 1: For Richland:

The formula for calculating the per year GDP increase for Richland is:

GDP = 10,000 + (10,000 x (1/100)) ---- (1)

GDP for first Year = 10,100$

GDP for second Year = 10,201 $

Similarly using the formula (1) we calculated the values for 10 and 20 years

GDP for 10th Year = 11046.2$

GDP for 20th Year = 12201.9$

Step 2: For Poorland:

The formula for calculating the per year GDP increase for Poorland is:

GDP = 5,000 + (5,000 x (3/100)) ---- (1)

GDP for first Year = 5,150$

GDP for second Year = 5,304.5 $

Similarly using the formula (1) we calculated the values for 10 and 20 years

GDP for 10th Year = 6719.6$

GDP for 20th Year = 9030.6$

Step 3: When will Poorland catch up to Richland:

By calculating values using the above formulas, we have found that for 38th year, Poorland will catch upto Richland and will have more GDP.

Poorland GDP for 36th Year = 14491.4$

Richland GDP for 36th Year = 14307.7$

How are jobs affected by supply and demand ?Explain how changes in supply and demand couple impact employment and jobs?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Please see explanation below

Explanation:

a. Just as supply and demand affects any other market, so does it affects jobs too. Take for instance if additional workers are added to the existing workforce while the demand for jobs remains the same; it means that employers would likely pay less which will bring about drop in income to employees hence causes less job stability. On the other hand, if there is an increase in demand for jobs while supply remains the same; then employers will be willing to pay more thereby resulting in higher income for few who are employed hence bring about job stability.

b. Change in demand refers to either an increase or decrease in demand for a particular good or service due to changes in consumer tastes, income level, population, price of substitutes etc; while change in supply is when suppliers decided to either increase or decrease their production or output due to changes in technology, process automation, change in the number of competitors in the market, taxes, production costs etc.

An increase in demand for certain goods or services would necessitate an increase in supply for such goods hence create avenue for producers or manufacturers to employ more people to produce them. Also, a decrease in demand for certain goods or services would result in less goods being produced hence lesser people getting employed to produce such goods.

On the other hand, when producers embraces new technology or process automation , the possibility of producing more goods will be higher while such would result in job losses.

hoa [83]

Answer:

FLSA rules establish that only short coffee breaks (between 5 to 20 minutes) should be compensated as work time. Meal periods that last at least 30 minutes are not compensable work time.

If maintenance workers are recalled earlier, that time counts as work time because they are performing their normal work tasks.
