If minimum wage didn't exist, then there would be nothing stopping  companies from paying there workers basically nothing. They could grossly underpay all workers and not get in trouble for it.

A minimum wage exists because sometimes market wages are too low for workers to live on.

g For this question, ignore inflation. Suppose Jenny earns $60,000 per year working as a tax analyst. After ten years, she quits
arsen [322]

Answer:

If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?

Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000

she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year

What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?

First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.

The table below gives information on bottled water in Florida. As you would expect, the demand for water is higher than normal d
choli [55]

Answer:

First we need to first find the equilibrium quantity and price during normal times.

The equilibrium price in normal times is P=$3 and the equilibrium quantity is 55 bottles.

During the hurricane, the government will set a price ceiling of $3. We can infer from the table that the quantity supplied at P=$3 is 55 bottles while the quantity demanded during hurricane at the price of $3 per bottle is 105 bottles. Hence,

105-55= 50

During a hurricane, there would be a shortage of 50 bottles of water.

If there were no price ceiling, then the equilibrium price would be such that the quantity demanded during hurricane equals the quantity supplied. From the table we can see that the equilibrium price would in that case be P=$5 per bottle where the equilibrium quantity is 85 bottles. With the price ceiling only 55 bottles are available for trading. Now without the price ceiling 85 bottles are available.

Hence consumers would have to pay an additional $2 (=5-3) but they can now buy an additional 30 bottles [=85-55].

Without the antiprice gouging law, consumers would have to pay $2 more than the ceiling price, but they would bv able to buy 30 more bottles of water.

The market for tomatoes is in equilibrium at the price of $10, and quantity of 50 tomatoes. If consumer surplus is $400 and tota
Darya [45]

Answer:

$250

This because out of the total surplus, the surplus left after being received by the consumer goes to the producer.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Price of tomato = $10

Equilibrium quantity = 50 tomatoes

Consumer surplus = $400

Total surplus = $650

Now,

The  producer surplus = Total surplus - Consumer surplus

= $650 - $400

= $250

This because out of the total surplus, the surplus left after being received by the consumer goes to the producer.

"You are in the middle of a discussion with an institutional client over the phone, where you recommend that the client buy 100,
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The colleague has committed a violation because your customer's order could move the price of ABC stock

Explanation:

Front running is also called tailgating. It is a prohibited practice where a trader enters into a position security based on non-public information about a large trade that will influence the price of the security.

The trade is initiated to take advantage of the new price that the large trade will cause. The position is entered before the large trade occurs.

In this scenario your neighbour heard you telling your client to but 100,000 share of ABC. Because the transaction will influence the market he also tells his client to buy 10,000.

This is tailgating and it is a violation.
