      although more money would be payed, it would not be enough to support the poor and total unemployment will increase since there is a gap between the equilibrium point with the higher wage price level and the equilibrium with the demand curve.

      both examples of why AD has decreased that lead to recession

  • put aside money
  • The governmen
  • £250m package of support."
  • The government expects to raise £1.4bn
  • However the recession has significantly reduced industrial output - and so demand for credits to cover industrial emissions has also fallen.
  • If the actual price is below the floor, companies must pay the difference to the Treasury.
  • The extra cost will be passed on to consumers, it warns.
    • Shoko Kuroda
       
      If Carbon becomes more expensive, this reduces the number of firms which still can afford the price and therefore leads to reducing the amount of Carbon. 
    • Shoko Kuroda
       
      Recession, the business cycle suggested by Keynes can be introduced with a digram and explanation. 
    • Shoko Kuroda
       
      A diagram representing the impact of minimum price should be drawn and explained. Consumer burden needs to be explained as well. 
    • Shoko Kuroda
       
      This can be explained to support why when an economy is in recession, it has a similar impact as minimum price has. In addition, this also has a negative affect on the government who has the benefit of minimum price since then they are able to collect the money. Therefore this reduces the intention of the government to set a minimum price since they would have less benefit when the economy is in a recession.
