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.

Following is partial information for Delamunte Industries for the month of August: Work In Process Balance, August 1 $ 41,000 Di

xeze [42]

1. The calculation of the predetermined overhead rate applied to jobs during August is 75% of direct labor costs ($90,000/$120,000).

2. The balance in the Work in Process account at the end of August is $61,000.

3. The amounts of direct material cost and applied overhead recorded for Job 248 as of August 31 are $19,000 and $18,000, respectively.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Work In Process Balance, August 1 $ 41,000

Direct materials used 75,000

Direct labor 120,000

Manufacturing overhead applied (based on direct labor cost) 90,000

Total costs incurred = $326,000

<h3>Finished Jobs during August: </h3>

Job # Cost of Jobs Completed

234 $ 58,000

237 65,000

231 74,500

246 67,500

Total costs of finished jobs = $265,000

Work in process balance = $61,000 ($326,000 - $265,000)

<h3>Job in Process: Job 248:</h3>

Direct labor cost incurred = $24,000

Applied overhead = $18,000 ($24,000 x 0.75)

Direct materials = $19,000 ($61,000 - $24,000 - $18,000)

Thus, the work-in-process balance represents Job 248 (Direct labor $24,000, Direct materials $19,000, and Applied Overhead $18,000).
