Answer:

<em>1.  In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>

<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>Question has been attached here</u></em>

Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.

<em>1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>

A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.

<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.

<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.

<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.

Differentiation business strategies are often associated with premium prices. There are, however, reasons why a firm would NOT w
Natalija [7]

Answer: e. To drive up market share

Explanation:

Differentiation strategies involve adding features to a good to make it stand out from the Competition. Since these features are usually beneficial, the value of the good goes up and the company selling them can charge more. This is the main way things are done in Monopolistic markets.

However, sometimes it is best to charge the same price the Competition is charging even though you have a better product. This way the company is able to capture Market Share because the consumers will believe they are getting a better value for their money. For instance, if a company was selling Toyotas at $2,000 and it's competitor was selling the same Toyota but with 2 extra tires for the same $2,000 who would you use? The Competitor most likely.

This is why a firm might want to keep prices in line with competitors.

Problem 10A specialty coffeehouse sells Colombian coffee at a fairly steady rate of 280 pounds annually. The beans are purchased
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The computations are shown below:

Explanation:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{280}\times \text{\$45}}{\text{\$0.48}}}

= 229 units

The carrying cost is come from

= $2.40 × 20%

b. Time between placement of orders is

= Economic order quantity ÷Annual demand

= 229 ÷ 280

= 0.8179 years

So,

= 0.8179 × 365 days

= 298.53 days

We assume 365 days in a year

c. The average annual cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to

= Holding cost + ordering cost

= (Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × Holding cost)  + (Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost)

= (229 units ÷ 2 × $0.48) + (280 ÷ 229 units × $45)

= $54.96 + $55.02

= $109.98

d)   Now the reorder level is

= Demand × lead time + safety stock

where, Demand equal to

= Expected demand ÷ total number of weeks in a year

= 280 pounds ÷ 52 weeks

= 5.38461

So, the reorder point would be  

=  5.38461 × 3 + $0

= 16.15 pounds
