1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : FALSE

2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : TRUE

3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : TRUE

4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : FALSE

Explanation:

Question has been attached here

Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.

1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : FALSE

A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.

2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : TRUE

When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.

3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : TRUE

As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.

4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : FALSE

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.
