Answer:

B. Wages decline

Explanation:

Labor is subject to the laws of supply and demand, just like other commodities in the market. Low labor demand means there are only a few job opportunities available. The unemployment rate will be high. The economy will be having too many people without jobs.

An increase in the supply of labor implies more people coming to the job market. The Job market will experience a surplus in labor supply, which will lead to reduced wages. There will be too many jobless people chasing few job opportunities. Employers will consider the lowest labor cost, while desperate job seekers will be willing to accept low wage rates.

The dollars available from each unit of sales to cover fixe

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Variable costs are part of direct expenses incurred in the production of goods meant for sales. Variable costs have a direct and proportionate relationship with the output level. An increase in output level increases variable costs. Examples of variable costs are packaging and raw materials.

The contribution margin is the dollar amount available from the sale of each unit to cater for fixed costs and profits. It is calculated by subtracting variable costs from the selling price. The contribution margin is used in determining the break-even point and the output level required to achieve desired profits.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : FALSE

2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : TRUE

3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : TRUE

4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : FALSE

Explanation:

Question has been attached here

Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.

1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : FALSE

A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.

2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : TRUE

When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.

3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : TRUE

As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.

4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : FALSE

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.

In working with a client named Fred, you realize that he did not report income that he should have on a return. Fred reported $1

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

b) Fred must maintain records for 6 years from the year the return was filed

Explanation:

A person that prepares tax is required by the Internal Revenue Service to keep tax returns and supporting documents for at least 3 years.

However when the tax preparer fails to report correct income amount they are required to keep records for at least the last 6 years.

The underreported income must be greater than 25% of the income.

In the given scenario the Fred reported $10,000 instead of $13,500.

The unreported amount is $3,500

Percentage not reported = (3,500 ÷ 13,500) * 100 = 25.925%

So Fred will need to keep records for the next 6 years
