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 and Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is as follows:
<u>Particulars Product Q1
</u>
Selling price after further processing 13.00
Selling price at split off point 11.00
Incremental revenue per pound or gallon 2.00
Total production 2,200.00
Total Incremental Revenue 4,400.00
Total Incremental Processing costs 10,200.00
Total Incremental profit or loss (5,800.00)
Since there is an incremental loss so the same would be Sold at split off
I think the correct answer would be demographic segmentation. It is a type of market segmentation where the consumers are classified according to race, religion, family, gender and/or income. It is a way to help an organization target specific consumers.
