- In 2013, France's labor unions won a case against Sephora to prevent the retailer from staying open late and forcing its workers to work “antisocial hours.” The cosmetic store does about 20 percent of its business after 9 p.m., and the 50 sales staff who work the late shift are paid an hourly rate that is 25 percent higher than the rate paid to workers on the day shift. Many of the late-hour workers are students or part-time workers, who are put out of work by these new laws. Forcing the retailer to close earlier forces the store's assets, such as the building and merchandise, to be moved from lower or higher valued activities to higher or lower valued activities. True or False: In order to profit from this law, an individual could purchase Sephora products during the day and sell them at a higher price during normal store hours.arrow_forwardWhat is the term economists use to refer to the relationship that a higher price leads to a lower quantity demanded? income gap market equilibrium law of demand price modelarrow_forwardG.R.

In order to gain some work experience and increase her marketability, she has accepted a summer internship in the finance department at a pharmaceutical company. She is quite pleased with the pay: GH¢15 an hour is more than other students in her cohort receive for their summer internships. At work she meets Joshua, a recent graduate working as a middle manager in the same finance department. Joshua makes GH¢30 an hour and is dissatisfied. Specifically, he tells Akeley that, compared to managers at other pharmaceutical companies, he makes much less. “It isn’t fair,” he complains. “I work just as hard as they do, yet I don’t make as much.

Each apartment building contains 100 rental units, but the owner is having cash flow problems due to an average vacancy rate of nearly 50 percent. The apartments in each building have comparable floor plans, but some buildings are closer to campus than others. The owner of FCI has data from last year on the number of apartments rented, the rental price (in dollars), and the amount spent on advertising (in hundreds of dollars) at each of the 10 apartments. These data, along with the distance (in miles) from each apartment building to campus, are presented in rows 1 through 11 of Table. The owner regressed the quantity demanded of apartments on price, advertising, and distance. The results of the regression are reported in rows 16 through 35 of Table.
