Question 7                                                    1 pts

0-$20,000                  None

$20,000 and above     30 cents per dollar of income over $20,000

Your income in 2022 was $30,000.  Inflation between 2022 and 2023 is 10% and your pre-tax income rises between 2022 and 2023 at the inflation rate.

Your after-tax income increases by more than 10%

Your after-tax income increases by 10%

Your after-tax income increases by less than 10%

Your after-tax income is unchanged.

Question 12                                                         1 pts

The demand and supply of labour in a certain industry are described by the following equations: Nd =400-2w and Ns =240+2w, where Nis the number of workers emplovers want to hire, and N is the number of people willing to work.  Both labourdemand and labour supply depend on the real wage w, which is measured in dollars per day.  Suppose that government hasdecided to impose a minimum wage at $50 per day.  What will be the resulting change in (un)employment?

The employment will decrease by 40 while unemployment will increase by 40.

The employment will decrease by 300 while unemployment will increase by 344.
