<u>Explanation:</u>
First, remember that the difference between <em>normative and positive economic analysis</em> is that;
Normative analysis take a somewhat neutral view by stating how the world should be. While
The Positive analysis states the facts. That is, it describes the world as it is.
<u>
Thus, a </u><u>Normative analysis</u><u> of the consequence of minimum wage would be the following statements:</u>
c. In some cities such as San Francisco and New York, it would be impossible for low−skilled workers to live comfortably in the city without minimum wage laws.
d. The gains to winners of a minimum wage law should be valued more highly than the losses to losers because the latter primarily comprises businesses.
<u>And a </u><u>Positive analysis</u><u> of the consequence of minimum wage would be the following statements:</u>
a. The minimum wage law causes unemployment.
b. A minimum wage law benefits some groups and hurts others.
Transactions must be segregated into the three types of activities presented on the statement of cash flows: operating, investing, and financing.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)
Explanation:
First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.
Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
I believe this would be the expected product.
hope this helps!
