Shawna wins the lottery and her income increases by 60 percent. she used to buy 10 pints of cottage cheese per month and now she

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Her income elasticity of demand for cottage cheese is 0.3333 making it a normal and necessary good.

The income elasticity of demand is given by :

$\mathbf{YED = \frac{percentage change in demand}{percentage change in income}}$

The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:

$\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}}}$

$\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{12-10}{10}}$

$\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.2}\\$

Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,

$\mathbf{YED = \frac{0.20}{0.60}}$

YED = 0.33333

Since the income elasticity is positive, and since Shawna buys more cottage cheese after an increase in income, we can classify this good as a normal good.

Since the income elasticity is between 0 and 1 we can also conclude that cottage cheese is also a essential good or a necessity.

Employees in the defense industry have greater job security and higher pay when the country is engaged in major military conflic

kiruha [24]

Answer: C the fallacy of composition.

Explanation:

The Fallacy of Composition is meant to explain the false logic that people apply when they believe that because something is true of a subsection of something, then that thing must be true for the whole thing.

For instance, my phone's batter is made of lithium so my entire phone must be made of lithium.

In this scenario, the logic is that it is good to be involved in military conflict because it favors the nation if it favors a subset (employees in defense) which is flawed because other industries might suffer. This however, represents the fallacy of composition.

Consider two of the income security programs in the United States: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Earned

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. When a woman with children and very low income earns an extra dollar, she receives less in TANF benefits. This feature of TANF will cause the labor supply of low-income women to be LOWER. One of the most important characteristics of TANF is that as the beneficiary starts to earn money, they start losing benefits. The more money they earn, the less benefits they receive.

b. The EITC provides greater benefits as low-income workers earn more income (up to a point).

True

This feature of EITC will decrease the labor supply of low-income workers. b. False

Earned income tax credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit aimed at low income workers (and low middle income workers) with children. The tax credit received by the beneficiaries of this program depend on their income levels and number of children. E.g. during 2020, the EITC for joint filers earning up to $52,493 and having 2 children is $5,828. This program increases the labor supply of low income workers, it doesn't decrease it. If you do not work, you do not receive EITC.
