Is it good for an economy to experience sudden inflation or deflation? Explain with relevant examples.

DOMESTIC workers will no longer be subjected to meagre salaries as the government has
adjusted the minimum wage for domestic workers, with effect from December last year.
The announcement was made by the Department of Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant and it
coincided with the signing into law of the National Minimum Wage Bill by President Cyril
Ramaphosa.
According to the Department of Labour’s new rates, domestic workers working in Area A (bigger
metropolitan areas) who work more than 27 ordinary hours per week, must be paid a minimum
of R13,69 per hour.
Workers who work fewer than 27 hours per week, must be paid a minimum of R16,03 per hour.
This will mean that a domestic worker who works 45 hours per week will now earn a minimum of
R2 669,24 a month.
Gardeners, drivers or people who look after children, the aged, sick, frail or disabled in a private
household, all qualify as domestic workers.

Executive Summary of Impacts of Engineering Decisions on Financial Statements

Two firms, A and B, compete as duopolists in an industry. The firms produce a homogeneous good. Each firm has a cost function given by: C(q) = 30q + 1.5q² The (inverse) market demand for the product can be written as: P = 300 − 3Q , where Q = q1 + q2, total output.

Question: If each firm acts to maximize its profits, taking its rival’s output as given (i.e., the firms behave as Cournot oligopolists), what will be the equilibrium quantities selected by each firm? What is total output, and what is the market price? What are the profits for each firm?

1. A consumer spends all of his income only on two goods, X and Y. His utility function is given by U=XY. The price of good X is $P and the price of good Y is $2. His income is $400.
   1. Derive the PCC (price consumption curve) of this consumer as the price of good X changes .
   2. Derive this consumer’s demand function for good X.
   3. As the price of good X falls, this consumer’s demand becomes less elastic. True or False? Explain.
