Businesses employ workers from city neighborhoods and rural areas. These workers are perfect substitutes and cannot relocate in

the short run. The government offers businesses a wage subsidy if they hire workers from city neighborhoods. What is the effect of the subsidy on the wage rate of rural workers and on the total hours they work?

Answer:

This subsidy would decrease the rural workers' wages since it also decreases the wage of workers from city neighborhoods and both workers are perfect labor substitutes. Therefore, the total hours worked by rural workers would also decrease, since the wage is the price of labor, and when a price decreases, its supply decreases.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$64,474.20

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

discount rate = 7.25%

First payment will be made at the end of year 1

Discounting factor = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324

Thus, current value of payment = 28,000 \times 0.9324 = $26,107.20

Discounting factor for receipts =

Year 1 = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324 = $28,000 \times 0.9324 = 26,107.20

Year 2 = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^2} = 0.8694 = 35,000 \times 0.8694 = 30,429

Year 3 = \frac{1}{(1+ 0.0725)^3} = 0.8106 = 42,000 \times 0.8106 = 34,045.20

Therefore, value of contract today = - $26,107.20 + $26,107.20 + $30,429.0 + $34,045.20 = $64,474.20

You have a small business that makes $50,000 accounting and economic profit for you. As a disabled person, you must work at home
kifflom [539]

Answer: This means: "d. Your economic profit has gone down and your accounting profit has stayed the same."

Explanation: The difference between the accounting and economic benefit is associated with the type of cost that each includes:

The accounting benefit is nothing more than the difference between income and cost.  In this case it is still $50000.

The economic benefit includes not only explicit costs. The economic benefit is the difference between income and total costs (explicit and implicit). Therefore, this benefit is less than the accounting benefit. Because in this case the cost of working at home is considered.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$26.05

Explanation:

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid = d0 x (1 + growth rate)

d0 = dividend that was just paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

1.5 x (1.045^6) / 12 - 4.5 = $26.05

You have decided to buy a used car. The dealer has offered you two options: (FV of S1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

1-a.

in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.

PVIFA = 19.523

Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42

+

Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10

PV = $16,930.52

Present value of option b = $16,638

1-b.

  • b. option b (lower present value)

"Falling oil prices have caused a sharp decrease in the supply of oil." Speaking precisely, and using terms as they are defined
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The answer is: D) The quotation is incorrect: A decrease in price causes a decrease in quantity supplied, not a decrease in supply.

Explanation:

A decrease in the price of a product or service will always decrease the quantity supplied and increase the quantity demanded of the product. The terms supply and demand apply to the entire curve, not an specific point in them.  

For example, the equilibrium point for milk is 5 million gallons sold at $3 each. If the government suddenly decides that it will place a price ceiling for milk at $2 per gallon (may use argument that it is a necessity good essential for the well being of children) the quantity demanded for milk will rise but the quantity supplied will fall.

That is because not every dairy business will be able to produce and sell milk at $2 and still make a profit (or meet their expected profit levels), so they will either lower their milk production (make substitute products) or go out of business.
