Suppose that the equilibrium wage for teachers in Michigan is $15/hour. Also suppose that Michigan raises its minimum wage to $1

6/hour. Because the equilibrium wage for teachers is (a) lower than or higher than the new minimum wage, we would expect the number of teachers employed to (b) increase, decrease, or stay the same at the new minimum wage. There will be (c) a shortage, a surplus, or no change in the number of teachers.

Answer:

a. Lower b. Decrease c. Surplus

Explanation:

The equilibrium wage rate is $15.

The minimum wage is fixed at $16.

a. The equilibrium wage is lower than minimum wage.

b. The higher minimum wage will lead to reduction in the number of teachers employed as the cost of hiring goes up.

c. There will be a surplus in the number of teachers, as with increased wages, the supply of teachers will be higher than demand.

In the short run, a supply shock will _________ the equilibrium level of prices and ___________ the equilibrium level output. re
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: raise; reduce

Explanation:

A Supply shock is described as a situation where the supply of a good changes suddenly/ abruptly due to an unforeseen event.

Supply shocks can be positive but are usually negative so we will assume the supply shock is negative here.

If there is a negative supply shock, the amount of goods being produced will reduce abruptly which will force the supply curve to shift left.

It will then intercept the the demand curve at an equilibrium level that has a higher price and a lower quantity of output.

Think of it this way. Negative supply shock ⇒ less goods ⇒ scarcity ⇒ higher prices.

The fundamental relationship between savings and investment spending in an economy is that: A. savings will increase as investme
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The correct option is B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In an economy, planned investment spending is always equal to planned saving. If actual saving falls short of (exceeds) planned saving, then actual investment falls short of (exceeds) planned investment.

That is the other part of the saving paradox. If an economy produces too much, such that saving is greater than planned investment, inventory will build up, giving signal to producers to reduce output, to restore equilibrium. Such investment scheme is suitable only to communist countries. Keynes has another investment theory in his liquidity story. But investment theories are equally a posterior.

Therefore, Option B is correct
