Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

Under the FLSA, regular rate of pay does not include: A. vacation pay. B. severance pay. C. overtime pay. D. earned bonuses. E.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

FLSA stands for Fair Labor Standard Act, which is defined as the act that usually requires, the covered non- exempt employees to receive the overtime pay, at least 1 and 1/2 times of their regular pay for the time they worked in excess of the 40 hours per week of the work.

The regular rate is defined as the remuneration which involves all the employment remuneration that are subject to the exclusions mentioned in the Section 7 under sub section (e) of the FLSA.

So, the vacation pay is the one which is not involved in the regular rate as any time earned gained over 40 along with the vacation is the straight time which will not be paid.
