Comparison of the minimum wage and the median wage can be used to estimate the extent to which unemployment results from minimum
kykrilka [37]

Answer: A country where minimum wage is set at 1% of median wage.

Explanation:

The minimum wage is the lowest income that employers can pay their employees.

The median wage is the midpoint of wages earned by workers in the society. Workers who earn median wage implies that half of the workers in the economy earn more than them and the remaining half less than them.

From the portions given, unemployment will mostly occur in a country where minimum wage is set at 1% of the median age. For example let's assume the median age is $10 per hour in the United States. This implies that minimum wage will be $0.1. Nobody will really want to work for an amount which is so low which in turn, leads to great unemployment.

Puppy Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2020.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Compute the company's degree of operating leverage for 2019.

This will be:

= Contribution / Pre tax income

= 432000 / 108000

= 4

b. If sales decrease by 5% in 2020, what will be the company's pretax income?

We should note that the degree of operating leverage is:

= % change in pre tax income / % change in sales

4 = % change in ore tax Income / 5%

% change in ore tax income = 5% × 4 = 20%

Company's pre-tax income will be:

= 108000 - (20% × 108000)

= 108000 - (0.2 × 108000)

= 108000 - 21600

= $86400

c. Assume sales for 2020 decrease by 5%. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for 2020.

Sales = 2160000 × 95% = 2160000 × 0.95 = 2052000

Less: Variable cost = 1728000 × 95% = 1728000 × 0.95 = 1641600

Contribution margin = 410,000

Less: Fixed cost = 324000

Pre tax net income= 86400

natka813 [3]

Answer: $450,000

Explanation:

It is shown that Nana Company does not have significant influence over Mama Company.

What this means is that Mama's retained earnings, incomes or dividends have no effect on the investment account of Nana in relation to their Mama investment.

The only relevant amount is the fair value of the Mama's stock that Nana owns.

= 10,000 * 45

= $450,000
