This is a study on minimum wage and poverty thresholds. I have included the procedure for one year, 2009, below. You will calculate all variables for all years 1968 – 2013. You will have three graphs. Check the attached excel data sheet to see what info. you already have. You will need to calculate a few variables for each year. Use the excel data sheet to do quick and easy cut and paste formulas. If you need help, or are hyperventilating now, just drop me a line or come by the office. JB
Step 1. Start off by using the 2009 and 2010 data. You have this data on the excel data sheet:
(NMW, H2 and H4 are nominal variables)
Step 2. Convert nominal minimum wage (NMW) to real minimum wage (RMW).
Minimum wage (NMW) from data source in 2009 = $______, the CPI for 2009 = ______
Formula 1: RMW= NMW/CPI in hundredths
_____________ for 2009
Step 3. Calculate yearly percent change in RMW (PP). % chg PP represents annual percent change in purchasing power.
Formula 2: % chg PP from 2009 to 2010:
= (RMW in 2010–RMW in 2009)/RMW in 2009) x 100, = _____________________; an (increase or decrease) in purchasing power.
Step 4. Calculate the yearly percentage change in the CPI (INFLT). INFLT represents annual percent change in inflation.
Formula 3: INFLT from 2009 to 2010:
= (CPI2010 – CPI2009/ CPI2009 x 100;
= (CPIY2011 – CPI2010)/ CPI2010 x 100;
= __________________, an (increase or decrease) in inflation from 2009 to 2010
Step 5. Graph 1. For every year, graph % chg in PP and Inflation (INFLT) on the same graph. Title of graph should be Trend in Purchasing Power and Inflation for Selected Years
Step 6. Calculate real annual income 1(INC1): RMW x 40 hours per week x 50 weeks per year.
Formula 4: INC1 for 2009 = ______________, H2 =________ , this is a nominal value
Formula 5: Convert to real value (RH2) = h2/CPI (2009) in hundredths = _______________

1. Use demand and supply graphs to analyze and to illustrate the scenarios below. Complete demand and supply graphs will identify which market they are depicting, include labels on their axes and curves, and will clearly show how market equilibrium changes in each scenario.
a. (16 points) Assume that wine and cheese are complement goods, that wine and beer are substitute goods, and that beer and cheese are unrelated goods (i.e., neither complements nor substitutes). Suppose that we observe a decrease in the price of wine, an increase in the price of cheese, and an increase in the quantity of beer. Which of the following could have caused these changes?
• A binding price floor in the wine grapes market.
• An increase in the price of milk.
• An innovation that speeds up the production and bottling of beer.
Provide reasons for your answers.
b. (8 points) Suppose that a widely publicized medical report states that drinking a moderate amount of wine improves heart health. How will this report affect the price of wine, the price of beer, and the price of cheese? Provide reasons for your answers.
c. (8 points) Suppose that a massive infestation of pests destroys a large amount of wine grape crops. Suppose also that this change occurs at the same time as the medical report in part b. above is publicized. What is the combined effect of these two changes on the price of wine, the price of beer, and the price of cheese? Provide reasons for your answers.

Substitutes (Please Include The Negative signs in your answers where appropriate) A. The price of gasoline increases from 12 per barrel to 28 per barrel and as a result, the demand per month for new cars changes from 600 to 200. Part 1: The elasticity is -0.5 Part 2: These goods are (answer using numbers, 1-4) 3 B. As a result of a change in income from 1,275 to 1,875 per month, the consumption of good X changes from 380 to 200 units. Part 3: The elasticity is -1.0065 Part 4: Good X is a(an) (answer using numbers, 1-4) 1 C. As a result of a decrease in the price of good Y from 39 to 19 the demand for good X changes from 150 to 350 units.

As a result of an economic boom in Calgary, the average income increases from 2,800 to 4,200 per month and as a result the demand for new houses increases from 160 to 260 units.
