In a closed economy,
 
  A) I = Y + C + G. B) I = Y - C - G. C) I = Y - C + G. D) I = Y + C - G.

Question 2

Equal pay for work of comparable worth is the idea that certain jobs, though completely different, must have the same pay because they are deemed to be of similar value.
 
  For example, an X-ray technician's job may be deemed to be as valuable as a dental assistant's job and therefore, both these jobs should be paid the same salaries. Implementing equal pay for comparable worth has been suggested as a measure that would reduce discrimination and inequality in the job market. Do you agree? What could be the other possible effects of such a policy? Explain your answer.

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The demand for labor depends on the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL). This is determined by the productivity of workers and the price of the final good in the market. One of the main problems with using comparable worth to decide wages is how to decide the comparable worth of different professions. A dental assistant's VMPL could be different from an X-ray technician's VMPL. Setting the same wages for workers in both these occupations, irrespective of their VMPL, is similar to setting price controls in a market and is likely to lead to shortages in the market with higher VMPL and surpluses in the market with lower VMPL; comparable worth takes away the incentive for workers to migrate to higher wage jobs.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
