If the minimum wage rate is higher than the equilibrium wage rate, fewer people will be hired because the cost of labor is too high. I agree.

Explanation:

  • If the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage rate, it has powerful effects. The Labor Market and the Minimum Wage The equilibrium wage rate is $4 an hour. The minimum wage rate is set at $5 an hour. So the equilibrium wage rate is in the illegal region
  • If the minimum wage is set below the equilibrium wage rate, it has no effect. The market works as if there were no minimum wage. If the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage rate, it has powerful effects.
  • The equilibrium market wage rate is at the intersection of the supply and demand for labour. Employees are hired up to the point where the extra cost of hiring an employee is equal to the extra sales revenue from selling their output.
  • When the labor market is in equilibrium, the economy is at full employment.

Future income

Explanation:

Future income can be anticipated but never factored in.

This is because the economy is not only controlled by economic policy or statistics that anticipate growth but outside influences too.

For example, despite the productive growth in the recent time there will be decrease in incomes throughout the world this year.

This is because of the recent crisis that was not foreseen at all.

Thus policy making must not see the future as anything granted and must only set up goals for the present and only anticipate what would probably come in the future.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the highest of the minimum wages.

Explanation:

The company will have the pay the minimum wage that is the highest because they are under the authority of all three governments and paying the highest minimum wage would ensure that they automatically follow the minimum wages set by the other two authorities.

For instance; the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, the state minimum wage is $10 per hour and the city minimum is $12 per hour. When the company pays $12 an hour, they would be adhering to the city minimum and automatically adhering to the Federal and State minimums as well.

inna [77]

Answer:

SO expected return on Mkt Portfolio Rm = 10.75%

Explanation:

market degree of risk aversion A = 3

Var = 0.0225 = SD^2

Rf = 4%

What is expected return on Mkt Portfolio ie Rm??

According to CAPM, Rm-Rf = A*SD^2

where SD is Std Dev (Recall SD^2 = Variance)

A is market degree of risk aversion

So we have Rm-4% = 3*0.0225

ie Rm = 4% + 3*0.0225 = 10.75%

SO expected return on Mkt Portfolio Rm = 10.75%
