Worth Publishers
SCENARIO:
The state government is considering raising the minimum
wage from $15 per hour to $20 per hour over the next 3
years. As an economic advisor to the governor, you have been

equilibrium wage of $15 per hour. How would you know? At
equilibrium, what (dollar amount) is the Total Surplus this market
provides? Show your rationale with numbers.
2. Analyzes the impact on total surplus in the market if the
minimum wage is raised…
Draw the IS-LM diagram at equilibrium and use it to show how one or both of the curves change based on the following exogenous changes.
An increase in taxes.
An increase in the money supply
An increase in government purchases

- corospond to this message. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the total value of all goods and services produced by a country. The news reporter shows excitement because rising GDP signifies positive economic performance. Consumer spending has increased while businesses expand and new job opportunities become available. If the GDP rises, your delivery business will likely handle more packages as consumer purchasing increases. The increase in business activity will lead to more opportunities for your company to generate higher profits.

It is Thursday afternoon, just a few days before the holiday season starts in your region, and you decided to visit your uncle Chao who owns a local delivery company. While sitting in the living room watching the evening news with your uncle, you heard the news reporter stating the following with an optimistic tone: "According to recent studies, gross domestic product (GDP) is rising due to an increase in consumer spending.

I need people who don’t want me! As an operations manager at a factory that produces manual tools, you were tasked with preparing a new site for expansion. The plan is to start production in the new location within 6 months from the current date. The new location requires 100 workers to operate fully. The workers you need don’t require any form of education or special skills because the tasks at the factory are simple and straightforward. In other words, you typically hire lower-skilled workers. In recent years, your company has been having problems finding workers who meet those criteria because the demand for them is so high. While sitting in your office, your teammate, Alejandra, walked to your office and said, "Have you heard the recent news about the economy? They said that investment has declined, and government spending has declined too. They also said that GDP is expected to shrink in the next 6 to 10 months. I wonder what is next."
