Answer: E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.

Explanation:

Minimum wage simply refers to the lowest wage that employers can pay their workers. Minimum wage is a form of price floor which means that it's typically higher than the equilibrium or market wage.

In this case, since it's higher than the market wage, there'll be an increase in the supply of labor as those that are unemployed will be willing to work duw to the increase in the wage rate.

On the other hand, there'll be a reduction in the demand for labor as employers typically will want to reduce cost and won't be interested in employing more workers.

Therefore, the correct option is E

The Playa Company has the following information in its records. Certain data have been intentionally omitted ($ in thousands). R
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

using the following formulars

Net purchase = (Gross Purchase) - (purchase return) - (purchase discount) + freight-in

Beginning inventory + Net purchases = cost of goods available for sales

Cost of goods sold = cost of goods available for sale - ending inventory

for 2013 we have that

beginning inventory = cost of goods available for sale - net purchases

Net purchases = 630 - 24  - 18 + 13 = 601

2013, beginning inventory = 876- 601 = 275

Ending inventory = 876 - 627 = 249

2014,

Begning inventory = closing inventory of 2013 = 249

Cost of goods available for sale = 621  + 225 = 846

Net purchase  -Cost of goods available for sale - beginning inventory = 846   - 249 = 597

Gross purchase = 597 + 15 + 30 - 32 = 610

2015

Cost of good sold = 800 - 216 = 784

Net purchase = 800 - 225 = 575

purchase discount = 585 -575 - 14 + 16 = 12

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The quantity is likely to decrease, the change in price depends on the extent of change in demand and supply.

Explanation:

The fear of the mad cow disease lead to a reduction in the demand for beef. This caused the demand curve to move to the left.

At the same time, destruction of cattle heads ordered by the government lead to a reduction in the supply of beef. This caused the supply curve to move to the left.

This leftward shift in both demand as well as supply curve will lead to a reduction in the equilibrium quantity of beef.

The change in price of beef depends upon the extent of change in demand and supply. If both decrease by the same extent, the price will remain the same.
