Answer:
Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50.
Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied
$12.50 375,000 625,000
This will result in a surplus of labor (625,000 higher than 375,000)
Which of the following statements are true?
- Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. As with all price floors, a deadweight loss results, because the quantity supplied is much greater than the quantity demanded. In this case, the price of labor is the wage, and the deadweight loss = structural unemployment
-
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Since a labor surplus exists, the price of labor should start to decrease in order to match the equilibrium price.
-
If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium. The quantity supplied of labor is much greater than the quantity demanded for labor resulting in a surplus.
Answer:
The answer is: There was no consumer surplus in this situation.
Explanation:
consumer surplus refers to the difference between the maximum amount a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service.
In this case there was no consumer surplus, since Stacey was willing to pay only $2 for a bottle of mineral water and its price was $2.25, so she didn't buy it.
Answer: relaxed change
Explanation: In simple words, it refers to a situation when a manager knows that he or she is stuck in an unavoidable issue but rather than facing it he or she chooses the second best alternative that involves low risk.
In the given case, Dwight knew that substance abuse with an employee is a serious issue but rather than facing it on his won he decided to put it into his subordinate.
Thus, the given case is an example of relaxed change.
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Total Overhead Cost:
= (Overhead × Number of cases) for all products
= (20 × 350) + (25 × 550) + (17 × 650)
= 31,800
Total Machine Hours:
= Machine hours × Number of cases
= (5 × 350) + (3 × 550) + (4 × 650)
= 6,000
Overhead Rate:
= Total Overhead Cost ÷ Total Machine Hours
= 31,800 ÷ 6,000
= 5.30
Total product cost per case for Product GC:
= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead
= 80 + 30 + (Machine hours × Overhead Rate)
= 80 + 30 + (3 × 5.3)
= 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90
= $125.90
Answer:
The knowledge gap can be filled with a knowledge management strategy. It involves identifying the knowledge gap and vulnerabilities and setting strategies for each of these gaps.
