Assume the existence of a phone class with a constructor that accepts two parameters: a string for the phone number followed by a boolean representing whether the phone provides added-value services. assume a subclass mp3phone has been defined that has two instance variables: an integer, memorysize, for the size, in megabytes of the phone memory, and a boolean, playsaac, representing whether the phone is capable of playing aac-encoded audio files. write a constructor for mp3phone that accepts three parameters: a string for the phone number (which is passed up to the phone constructor, together with the value true for the added-value boolean), and an integer followed by a boolean for the instance variables. submit

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
