[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.

AOnly I

BOnly II

CBoth I and II

DNeither I nor II

Show Suggested 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, 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 see your point, but I still think it's 'C. Both I and II'. More people will be willing to work for the higher wage.

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

I think it's actually 'C. Both I and II'. An increase in minimum wage will affect both labor demand and supply.

I bet the person who wrote this question was paid minimum wage. That's why they're so confused about the effects of a minimum wage increase!

This question is a real head-scratcher! I can't decide between C. Both I and II or D. Neither I nor II. It's like a game of economic tug-of-war.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. I think B. Only II might be correct. Higher wages could attract more people to the labor market, increasing the supply of labor.

I agree with you. I also think C. Both I and II make sense in this scenario. It's a combination of factors that could affect the labor market.

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.

I think the correct answer is A. Only I. Increasing the minimum wage will cause employers to demand less labor, as it becomes more expensive to hire workers.

I'm not sure about that. I think the answer might be B, Only II. Increasing the minimum wage could just increase the supply of labor without affecting the demand.

I agree with Rhea. Increasing the minimum wage will indeed move employers down the labor demand curve and also attract more people to work for the higher wage.
