AICPA CPA-Business Exam - Topic 3 Question 96 Discussion

Actual exam question for AICPA's CPA-Business exam
Question #: 96
Topic #: 3
[All CPA-Business Questions]

An increase in the minimum wage:

I Will move employers down the labor demand curve, causing the quantity of labor demanded to fall.

II Is likely to increase the supply of labor, as more people will be willing to work for the higher wage.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Choice 'c' is correct. The most logical sequence in planning and controlling capital expenditures is to begin with identifying capital addition projects and other capital needs.

Choice 'a' is incorrect. Analyzing capital addition proposals omits other capital needs.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. Analyzing and evaluating all promising alternatives is beyond the scope of planning and controlling capital expenditures.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. Developing capital budgets is the same as planning and controlling capital expenditures.

Wait, does raising the minimum wage really lead to job losses? Sounds off.

I'm torn between I and II. I feel like both could happen, but I can't recall if there's a clear consensus on that.

This question feels familiar; I think we practiced something similar where we debated the effects of wage changes on employment levels.

I think I read that higher wages might attract more workers, so II could be true. But does that mean I should choose only II?

I remember discussing how an increase in minimum wage could lead to a decrease in labor demand, but I'm not entirely sure if it always happens that way.

I'm pretty confident on this one. The minimum wage increase will shift the labor demand curve to the left, reducing the quantity of labor demanded. But it won't affect the supply of labor, which is what II is talking about. So the answer is A, only I.

This question seems straightforward. I think I can apply the basic labor supply and demand concepts we've been learning about.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. An increase in the minimum wage will make labor more expensive for employers, so they'll demand less of it. That's I. And II says the higher wage will make more people willing to work, increasing labor supply. I think the answer is C, both I and II.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm just going to go with 'D. Neither I nor II' and hope for the best. That's the economic equivalent of throwing a Hail Mary pass.

I disagree, I believe it's 'A. Only I'. Employers will definitely move down the labor demand curve.

I think C. Both I and II could be true. If employers move down the labor demand curve, the quantity of labor demanded may fall, but at the same time, higher wages could attract more people to work.
