What is the role of the IRS in relationship to federal taxes?

Verified answer

ECONOMICS

When workers' wages rise, their decision about how much time to spend working is affected in two conflicting ways-as you may have learned in courses in microeconomics. The income effect is the impulse to work less because greater incomes mean workers can afford to consume more leisure. The substitution effect is the impulse to work more because the reward for working an additional hour has risen (equivalently, the opportunity cost of leisure has gone up). Apply these concepts to Blanchard's hypothesis about American and European tastes for leisure. On which side of the Atlantic do income effects appear larger than substitution effects? On which side do the two effects approximately cancel? Do you think it is a reasonable hypothesis that tastes for leisure vary by geography? Why or why not?

What causes an increase in equilibrium price and decrease in equilibrium quantity?

An increase in demand and a decrease in supply will cause an increase in equilibrium price, but the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be detennined. 1. For any quantity, consumers now place a higher value on the good,and producers must have a higher price in order to supply the good; therefore, price will increase.

What is the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of bread?

Currently this market is in equilibrium with the equilibrium price at $2 per loaf of bread and the equilibrium quantity of bread equal to 100 loaves of bread per day.

What can cause a decrease in both the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee in a market?

Both the demand and the supply of coffee decrease. Since decreases in demand and supply, considered separately, each cause equilibrium quantity to fall, the impact of both decreasing simultaneously means that a new equilibrium quantity of coffee must be less than the old equilibrium quantity.
