On April 1, 2009, in the middle of a recession, the government of the province of Ontario, Canada increased the provincial minim

um wage from $8.75 to $9.50. What will the likely effect of this policy be? Both the leftward shift in the labor demand curve and the higher minimum wage will lead to an increase in the unemployment rate. Low income workers will be better able to survive the recession at the new, higher wage rate. More people will be hired at the higher wage rate offsetting the effects of the recession. The higher wage will increase the supply of labor offsetting the effects of the recession.

The policy of increasing the provincial minimum wage from $8.75 to $9.50 will likely effect = both the leftward shift in the labor demand curve and the higher minimum wage will lead to an increase in the unemployment rate.

Companies that are successful tend to pay their employees more than the provincial minimum wage thus the change in minimum wage level will not directly affect the number of employees in the company. 

Those earning the minimum wage will be able be in danger of losing their jobs when their companies opt to cut down the number of employees to minimize their costs.

Which of the following scenarios could lower a firm’s demand for labor? Correct Answer(s) James operates a restaurant in a seasi
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

James operates a restaurant in a seaside tourist town. It is winter and all the tourists have left

Rex invests in new computer software that will automate his bookkeeping.

Explanation:

In winter, the patronage at James' resturant would drop because tourists would have left. Because demand at the resturant has dropped, James would reduce his demand for Labour which are his staffs. He would let some staffs go temporarily to reduce costs .

If Rex invests in a software that automates his book keeping, he wouldn't need an accountant to help with his book keeping, so demand for labour would fall.

After Katie's competition closes down, more people would patronise Katie. Katie's demand for Labour would increase because of the influx of customers.

Amy would need labour to obtain wood; her demand for Labour would increase.

If school is just resuming, there would be a high influx of people into the bookstore, the bookstore would increase its demand for Labour because of the high influx of customers .

I hope my answer helps you.

A two-step binomial tree is used to value an option on the Australian dollar (AUD). The strike price is 1.00 USD per AUD and the
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

Ilya [14]

Answer:

d. $2,676

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal value is shown below:

FCF1 = (100 × 1.06) = 106

FCF2  = (106 × 1.06) = 112.36

FCF3 = (112.36 × 1.06) = 119.1016

FCF4  = (119.1016 × 1.06) = 126.247696

FCF5  = (126.247696 × 1.06) = 133.8225578

Now

Horizon value is

= FCF5 ÷ (Cost of capital  - Growth rate)

= 133.8225578 ÷ (0.08  - 0.03)

= $2,676

Hence, the correct option is d.
