Answer:
The Earned Income credit
Explanation:
Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.
So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.
The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
Answer:
D)5,000; 7,000
Explanation:
Public is holding 2000 econs and banks reserves are 300 econs. It is mentioned that reserve requirement is 10%.
So total bank deposits must be 3000. Money supply in the economy is (3000 + 2000 = 5000)
When the reserve ratio is 0.1, that means the money multiplier is 10.
If there is an additional inflow of currency because of printing 200 econs by central bank then because of multiplier effect it will be 2000 econs.
Money supply from earlier 5000 econs will become 7000 econs.
Option D is correct.
