Increases in the minimum wage are intended to raise the incomes of low-income workers. Many economists favor a different policy
Stels [109]

Answer:

The Earned Income credit

Explanation:

Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.

So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.

The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.

Which of the following statements abouot the declaration and payment of cash dividends is correct?
padilas [110]

Answer: C. Declaration and payment of cash dividends will reduce the amount of cash available to invest in assets.

Explanation:

When a company pays out Dividends it gives out money to it's shareholders and this has the effect of decreasing the cash balance that the company has.

This is cash that could have gone into investing and expanding the business but instead has gone to shareholders. Dividends therefore reduce the money available for investments.

It is for this reason that Growth Companies do not pay much dividends as they keep reinvesting profits to increase capacity and this usually adds value to the company and increases their stock price within a shorter period of time.
