Have hours of work in general increased or decreased as a result of the overtime law? Explain.

/in /by

Use the labor/leisure model to analyze the effect of hours of work of a new law requiring employers to pay 60% extra for each hour worked over 40 per week, while there was previously no such requirement.

  1. a)   First draw a budget constraint for someone earning $10 per hour. What happens to the budget constraint with the new 60% extra requirement?  Draw the new budget constraint.
  2. b)   Given your answer to (a), draw an indifference curve so that, given the original budget constraint, the person is working 40 hours per week. What happens to hours of work given the new budget constraint?  Draw an indifference curve to show this.

Which groups are most likely to be affected by the change?

Which groups are least likely?

Have hours of work in general increased or decreased as a result of the overtime law? Explain.

Distinguish between the short-run and the long-run in a macroeconomic analysis. Why is the relationship between unemployment and inflation different in the short-run and the long-run?

/in /by

Unemployment and inflation are an economy’s two most important macroeconomic issues. The federal government’s fiscal policy and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy try to maintain both a low unemployment rate around a natural rate and a low inflation rate around 2%.

1. Evaluate the historical relationship between unemployment and inflation. (hint: You may start from A.W. Phillips’s finding of the relationship between unemployment and inflation.)
2. Distinguish between the short-run and the long-run in a macroeconomic analysis. Why is the relationship between unemployment and inflation different in the short-run and the long-run?
3. Assess the recent 20-year U.S. unemployment and inflation data. Do the current U.S. unemployment and inflation data confirm the short-run Phillips curve?
4. Analyze why the recent 20-year U.S. unemployment and inflation data approves or disproves the short-run Phillips curve.
5. Evaluate whether the Phillips curve can still validly resolve today’s issue of unemployment and inflation and forecast unemployment and inflation. Why or why not?
6. Recommend any policy, method, or opinions for the current U.S. unemployment and inflation as a policy maker for either fiscal policy or monetary policy (or both).

Discuss the concept of money. Begin by defining the functions of money and explain how currency meets these functions.

/in /by

The full instructions from the professor are: “{{Question/Prompt:

Author Anna Schwartz writes this about money: “The U.S. money supply comprises currency—dollar bills and coins issued by the Federal Reserve System and the Treasury—and various kinds of deposits held by the public at commercial banks and other depository institutions such as savings and loans and credit unions.” (Schwartz, n.d)

In this threaded discussion, complete the following:

1) Discuss the concept of money. Begin by defining the functions of money and explain how currency meets these functions.

2) Historically, a number of things other than coin and currency have been used as money. Using outside research, provide an example of something else that has been used as money, and explain when and where it was used. Do not use the examples given in the text.

3) Think about how Scripture influences our attitudes and actions towards money. Which Bible verses related to money challenge you the most? Which biblical concepts have helped form how you think about and act with your money? Explain.

Your initial thread must be a minimum of 275 words.}}”

Explain the product value chain identifying materials and waste flows in each process from extraction, manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal.

/in /by

.1.Choose a company and a product and explore its value chain to write a report focussing
on the four issues:
1.1 Discussthesustainabilityproblemassociatedwiththewidersectorlinkingtothe company and a product.
In this section, discuss in detail the social, environmental, ethical, and economic challenges associated with the sector, company and product of your choice. Provide evidence, data and examples to illustrate the extent of the challenges.
1.2 Explain the product value chain identifying materials and waste flows in each process from extraction, manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal.
In explaining the value chain, use a value chain diagram showing materials used in the process and the type of waste generated at different stages from extraction to disposal (e.g. see the value chain diagram 5.1). Where you cannot find complete information, make assumptions; but, state clearly the assumptions you have made and the basis of your assumptions. This lack of information is mostly associated with raw materials.
1.3 Propose which circular economy (CE) approaches the company could adopt to reduce/prevent waste and generate more value.
In proposing the CE approaches, revisit the value chain diagram and show at which stage the suggested CE approaches could be implemented (e.g. see the value chain diagram 5.2). In proposing CE approaches, look at the four building blocks, examples of companies to consider which aspects of CE have been implemented, such as design, business models, etc. Explain why the proposed approaches are most useful.

1.4 Discuss the factors that may enable and hinder the implementation of CE approaches.
This section should conclude the report by discussing the factors that can facilitate/enable the implementation of the proposed CE approaches. Similarly, it should also discuss the factors that may constraint/hinder the implementation of the proposed CE approaches.

Explain how comparative advantage impacts a firm’s decision to engage in trade. Would a business’s decision to trade cause a change to its PPF?

/in /by

You will need several simulation report images for your memorandum. All the necessary data visualizations will be generated after you have completed each simulation game. You will be required to save image files of your simulation reports for your simulation discussions. These should also be used to create your memorandum report for the course project. If you have any questions or concerns about the simulation data that should be used for your project, you should promptly reach out to your instructor.
Review and use the Project Template located in the What to Submit section.

You are expected to reference any source material used in your memorandum report with appropriate citations. To support you, a References page has been added to the project template with a citation for this course’s reading already provided. Any other references you add should be cited according to APA format.
Once you have assembled the required materials listed above, you can now begin drafting your memorandum report by completing the following steps:

Comparative Advantage: Discuss the Comparative Advantage (With Trade) simulation that you played in Module Two. You should add the Production Decisions graph and the Production Trade graph (i.e., the graph showing how many hamburgers per fries) from you simulation report into the project template as Figures 1.1 and 1.2. Then, answer the following questions in the paragraphs below the figures:
How does this simulation demonstrate how individuals evaluate opportunity costs to make business decisions? Use the Production Decisions graph from the simulation as a reference to explain what role the production-possibility frontier (PPF) has in the decision-making process.
Explain how comparative advantage impacts a firm’s decision to engage in trade. Would a business’s decision to trade cause a change to its PPF? Provide specific reasoning to support your claims.
Competitive Markets and Externalities: Discuss the Competitive Markets and Externalities simulations (both with and without policy interventions) that you played in Modules Three and Four. Add the Supply and Demand chart and the Outcomes by Market table from your simulation reports into the project template as Figures 2.1 and 2.2. Then, answer the following questions in the paragraphs below the figures:
What impact do policy interventions have on the supply and demand equilibrium for a product? Provide specific examples from the simulation to illustrate.
What are the determinants of price elasticity of demand? Identify at least three examples. Based on the outcome of the simulation, explain how price elasticity can impact pricing decisions and total revenue of the firm.
Based on the results of the simulation, can policy market interventions cause consumer or producer surplus? Explain why using specific reasoning.
Production, Entry, and Exit: Discuss the Production, Entry, and Exit simulation that you played in Module Five. Add the Aggregate Outcomes chart from your simulation report into the project template as Figure 3.1. Then, answer the following questions in the paragraphs below the figure:
Analyze a business owner’s decision making regarding whether to enter a market. For example, what factors determined the driver’s market entry and exit in the simulation? Use economic models to support your analysis.
How does a business owner applying the concept of marginal costs decide how much to produce? For example, how did the driver determine how many hours to drive each day? Use economic models to explain.
How does the impact of fixed costs change production decisions in the short run and in the long run? Use the average-total-cost (ATC) model included in the module reading chapters to demonstrate this impact.
Market Structures: Discuss the market structures simulations (Price Discrimination and Cournot) that you played in Modules Six and Seven. Then, do the following in the project template:
Complete Table 4.1 as a reference guide for your business partner. The table should compare the attributes of each of the four listed market structures.
Answer the following questions in the paragraphs below the table:
Explain what market inefficiencies derive from monopolies and monopolistic competition. Use examples from the textbook to support your claims.
How do firms in an oligopolistic market set their prices? Use specific examples from the simulations or from the textbook to support your claims.
Explain how firms that compete in the four different market structures determine profitability. Use specific examples from the simulations or the textbook to support your claims.
Conclusions: Draw your overall conclusions about the relevance and significance of microeconomics. How will microeconomics principles impact your business decisions moving forward? Provide recommendations to your business partner for your future business venture.
