Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

b. Reducing the minimum wage and the time and cost to open a business would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right

Explanation:

Minimum wage is a wage set by the government, to pay for laborers. Wages below this is illegal. Wages are also a major cost to any firm. When they have been reduced, cost of production is likely to fall. Cost of production is a factor affecting supply. When cost of production falls, supply shifts right.

This is explained as that when cost of production falls, businesses can now make higher profits. This acts as a motivation for many other firms to also enter into the market. Therefore, supply is likely to rise in the long-run, shifting the supply curve to the right.

Time and cost to open a business is another factor affecting supply. When the time and cost is high, it discourages new firms because they do not want to undergo the hassle of submitting many legal documents or may not have enough funds to pay for all the costs. However, when the cost and time taken falls, more firms will be willing and able to enter into the market. Thus, the supply curve shifts right in the long run, increasing quantity supplied.
