Answer:

D) Some employers and workers will agree on a wage less than $20 and not report the wages to the government; black market

Explanation:

The quantity supplied of labor should increase (more people will want to work), but the quantity demanded of labor should decrease (less employers will want to hire workers). Therefore the unemployment level should increase, turning the labor market less efficient.

Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield 6% in the United States and 6.5% in Germany. I
Marianna [84]

Answer: 1.356345

Explanation:

Based on the scenario and information provided in the question, the 90-day forward rate will be calculated as:

= Spot Rate × (1 + Germany Interest Rate) / (1 + United States Interest Rate)

= 1.35 × (1 + 6.5%) / (1 + 6%)

= 1.35 × (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.06)

= 1.35 × 1.065/1.06

= 1.35 × 1.0047

= 1.356345

Assume an economy is currently engaged in free trade but considering implementing a tariff on its main import, athletic shoes. W
UNO [17]

Answer:

Price - increase

Domestic production- increase

Import- reduces

Producer surplus- increase

Explanation:

A tariff is a form of tax on import or export.

When a tariff is imposed on a good , the price of the good increases.

As a result of the tariff , the amount of the goods imported falls as the imported good is now more expensive. The quantity produced by domestic producers increases as consumers would now start demanding for the domestic good. Tariffs are sometimes enacted to discourage importation and encourage domestic production.

As a result of the price increase, producer surplus increases. The increase in price also increases output. The producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least amount the producer is willing to sell his product.

I hope my answer helps you.

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for an inventory item are as follows: Sep. 1 Beginning Inventory 23 units $16 5 Sale 1
Allisa [31]

Answer:

(a) the cost of the goods sold for the September 30 sale and

  • COGS = $415

(b) the inventory on September 30.

  • Ending inventory = 9 units at $17 = $153

Explanation:

date        transaction           units         unit price          total

1              beginning inv.        23                $16               $368

5             sale                        -13                                    ($208)

17            purchase               24                 $17               $408

30           sale                       -25                                    ($415)

30           ending inv.              9                 $17               $153

When we use first in, first out (FIFO) inventory method, the price of the units sold are calculated using the oldest units in inventory.

The COGS of the units sold on Sept. 5 = 13 units x $16 = $208

The COGS of the units sold on Sept. 30 = (10 units x $16) + (15 units x $17) = $160 + $255 = $415

Ending inventory = 9 units at $17 = $153

Suppose the Fed decides it needs to pursue an expansionary policy. Assume people hold no cash, the reserve requirement is 50 per
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Because the current money multiplier is <u>2</u>, the Fed would <u>BUY $500,000</u> worth of bonds, <u>INCREASING</u> the monetary base and so increasing the money supply by $1 million.

Explanation:

if the Fed wants to increase the money supply by $1 million, then it would need to purchase US securities worth $500,000. The formulas used to calculate the impact of the Fed's operations are:

increase in money supply = additional funds x money multiplier

  • money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 50% =  2
  • desired increase in money supply = $1 million

$1,000,000 = additional funds x 2

additional funds = $1,000,000 / 2 = $500,000
