Answer:
The answer to both a and b is in the explanation below
Explanation:
a) The increase in wage can either decrease or increase the hours worked. This is became an increase in wage has both substitution effect and income effect that work in different directions. Substitution effect An increase in wage increases the opportunity cost of leisure, thereby making the worker increase number of hours worked. Income effect The increase in wage also makers the worker richer, thereby making the worker decrease number of hours worked.
Since no information about worker's preferences is given, we do not Imow which effect will dominate the other effect and, therefore, we do not know what the net impact of the increase in wage will be.
b) The bonus will only have income effect. The bonus will make the workers richer, thereby making the worker decrease number of hours worked.
If in part a), the substitution effect and income effect are equal in magnitude, then there will be no change in the number of hours worked. The number of hours worked will remain the same at 2000 hours. Since the employer would be paying $5 extra on each hour worked, the cost to the employer of increase in wage would be $10,000 (=2000 x $5), which is the same as the bonus in part b).
Answer:
b. performing an experiment in an economic system.
Explanation:
In contrast to scientific experimentation, whereby connections and differences can be measured between two or more variables. In economics, theory and observation are more difficult than in sciences such as physics due to the difficulty in performing an experiment in an economic system, as human beings' opinions change over time, due to dynamism in human society.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option
Answer:
an increase in the working population
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
The PPF can shift either inward or outward.
An outward shift is associated with an increase in output while an inward shift is associated with a reduction in output.
Factors that cause the PPF to shift
1. changes in technology. technological progress leads to outward shift of the PPF. introduction of "fiber optic" technology would shift the PPF outward.
2. changes in available resources. a land reclamation program would increase the land available for production and this would increase output. While an explosion destroying a chemical plant would reduce output and lead to an inward shift of the PPF
3. changes in the labour force. A decrease in unemployment would increase output and shift the the PPF outward
Working population is the number of people between 15-59.
Answer:
200% of direct labor cost
Explanation:
The computation of the company overhead application rate is shown below;
But before that overhead cost would be determined
GIP = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead
$4,400 = $2,000 + $800 + Overhead
So,
Overhead = $4,400 - $2,000 - $800
= $1,600
Now the overhead application rate is
= overhead ÷ direct labor cost
= $1,600 ÷ $800 × 100
= 200%
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
1 euro=1.11 dollars
1 peso=0.10 dollars
Hence, 11.10 peso=1.11 dollares
So, 1 euro=11.10 peso
Therefore, 1/11.10 euro=1 peso
0.09009 euro=1 peso
The euro-peso rate is 0.09009 euro=1 peso
