Assume that an individual wins a lottery. Assume also that the individual was working before the lottery win and had no other nonlabor income before the lottery win.

 

Assume that an individual wins a lottery. Assume also that the individual was working before the lottery win and had no other nonlabor income before the lottery win.

a) Using the basic static model of individual labour supply, discuss both graphically and explain in your own words how the lottery win will affect the individual’s level of hours worked. Discuss all relevant effects.

b) Is it possible that the individual decides to stop working following the lottery win? In your answer discuss the concept of reservation wages and add the individual’s reservation wage before and after the lottery win to your graph.

Question 5 (1 point)

A student at a university wants to determine if the proportion of students that use iPhones is less than 0.46. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows. Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.46, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.46. If the student takes a random sample of students and calculates a p-value of 0.8906 based on the data, what is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance.

Question 5 options:

1)

The proportion of students that use iPhones is significantly less than 0.46.

2)

The proportion of students that use iPhones is greater than or equal to 0.46.

3)

4)

We did not find enough evidence to say the proportion of students that use iPhones is larger than 0.46.

5)

We did not find enough evidence to say a significant difference exists between the proportion of students that use iPhones and 0.46

2)

HO: μ = 39.09
HA: μ ≠ 39.09

  1. Alicia received dividends on her stocks as follows.

Qualified Dividends

—Steinlager (a New Zealand corp. whose stock is traded               on an established US securities market) $45,000

—Star Inc, a Virginia Corp   11,000

Non-Qualifying Dividends

—Blaze Inc, a Delaware Corp   23,000

  1. Alicia (single) purchased the Star stock four years ago, and she purchased the Steinlager stock two years ago. She purchased the Blaze stock 15 days before it went ex-dividend and sold it 20 days later at a $28,000 loss. Alicia had no other capital gains and losses for the year. She is in the 32% marginal tax bracket. Compute Alicia’s tax on her dividend income. Also, will she be able to deduct the entire capital loss from the Blaze stock?

Alicia’s daughter (single), who is not her dependent, had taxable income of $18,000, which included $3,000 of dividends on separate shares of Star, Inc stock. The daughter had purchased the stock two years ago. Compute the daughter’s tax liability on the dividends.

The 1995 North American Free Trade Agreement provides for two-way, long-haul trucking across the U.S.-Mexican border. U.S. truckers have objected, arguing that the Mexican trucks don’t have to meet the same environmental and safety standards as U.S. trucks. They are concerned that the combination of these lower fixed costs and lower Mexican wages will result in Mexican drivers taking business from them. Their complaints have delayed implementation of this agreement (except for a small pilot program during the Bush administration, which was ended during the Obama administration). What would be the short-run and long-run effects of allowing entry of Mexican drivers on market price and quantity and the number of U.S. truckers?

What is NAFTA? Go on the Internet and find out and then summarize in 1/2 (Half a page) the general provisions of NAFTA and its expected costs and benefits to the American consumer
Though many argue and agree that free trade is beneficial to trading partners, why are US labor unions opposed to this trade agreement (NAFTA)?
Do you agree or disagree with those who oppose this trade agreement?

Bang Corporation provides two-weeks of vacations to its employees, which can be carried over for 1-year if not taken in the year that they were earned.  Bang employees earn an average of $1,200 per week, and at the end of 2018 employees had earned 300 weeks of vacation that were vested but had not been taken. Assume that wage rates for employees had risen by 2% by the time this vacation was taken in 2019 and that total wages earned in 2019 (including vacation pay) were $24.5 million.  

Prepare a journal entry that summarizes 2019 wages and the payment for 2018 vacations taken in 2019.

Computers 4 U is an online compan

Effect of management evaluation criteria on EOQ model. Computers 4 U is an online company that sells computers to individual consumers. The annual demand for one model that will be shipped from the northeast distribution center is estimated to be 500,000 computers. The ordering cost is $800 per order. The cost of carrying a computer in inventory is $50 per year, which includes $20 in opportunity cost of investment The average purchase cost of a computer is $200.

1. Compute the optimal order quantity using the EGG model.

2. Compute the number of orders per year and the annual relevant total cost of ordering and holding inventory.

3. Assume that the benchmark that is used to evaluate distribution center managers includes only the out-of-pocket costs incurred (that is, managers’ evaluations do not include the opportunity cost of investment tied up in holding inventory). If the manager makes the EGG decision based upon the benchmark, the order quantity would be calculated using a carrying costof$3onot$5G. How would this affect the EGG amount and the actual annual relevant cost of ordering and carrying inventory?

4. What will the inconsistency between the actual carrying cost and the benchmark used to evaluate managers cost the company? Why do you think the company currently excludes the opportunity costs the calculation of the benchmark? What could the company do to encourage the manager to make decisions more congruent with the goal of reducing total inventory costs?
