Why might some firms voluntarily pay workers a wage above the market equilibrium

Business
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b) Paying higher wages can reduce a firm's training costs.

c) Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive.

d) Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers.

Explanation:

Firms will hire more labor when the marginal revenue product of labor is greater than the wage rate, and stop hiring as soon as the two values are equal. The point at which the MRPL equals the prevailing wage rate is the labor market equilibrium.

The idea of the efficiency wage theory is that increasing wages can lead to increased labour productivity because workers feel more motivated to work with higher pay. Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive. Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers. Workers stay with employers longer (instead of seeking out better-paying work with other companies) reducing businesses’ turnover, hiring, and training costs.

The quarterly deposit required is $ 20,578.36

Explanation:

in order to determine the needed quarterly deposit, we make use of pmt formula in excel, which is given as :

=-pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the rate of return on the deposit at 8% per year but 2% per quarter(8%/4)

nper is number of deposits required in the fund,which number of years ,5 multiplied by 4(4 deposits per year)

pv is the present of the value of the future amount which is zero as it is not required.

Fv is the amount expected in 5 years which is $500,000

=-pmt(2%,20,0,500000)

pmt= $20,578.36

8090 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Inventory A/c Dr $73,500

         To Accumulated depletion A/c $73,500

(Being the depletion is recorded)

The computation is shown below

First we have to compute the depletion per ton which is shown below:

= (Acquired cost of coal mine + Intangible development costs + fair value of the obligation - Sale value) ÷ (Number of estimated tons of coal extracted)

= ($400,000 + $100,000 + $80,000 - $160,000) ÷ (4,000 tons)

= $105

Now if 700 are extracted in first year, so the depletion would be

= 700 × $105

= $73,500
