Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
Answer:
increased
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price of a gallon of gasoline in 1972 = $0.35
CPI in 1972 = 0.418
Price of a gallon of gasoline in 2005 = $2.25
CPI in 2005 = 1.68
Now,
Real cost in 1972 = [ Nominal cost in 1972 ] ÷ [ CPI in 1972 ]
= $0.35 ÷ 0.418
= $0.837
Real cost in 2005 = [ Nominal cost in 2005 ] ÷ [ CPI in 2005 ]
= $2.25 ÷ 1.68
= $1.34
Hence,
The price of gallon of gasoline increased between 1972 and 2005
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cochrane Associate's net sales last year were $525 million. If sales grow at 7.5% per year, how large (in millions) will they be 8 years later?
We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 525*(1+0.075)^8
FV= $936.33
Answer:
c) Catastrophe Bonds

These type of bonds are also known as the CAT bonds, and they are issued at any catastrophic event which is foreseen in the future.

Any investor before investing in these bonds should fully understand what type of bonds are these because they posses a greater risk of low return and are very different from conventional bonds.
Hope this helps.
Thanks buddy.
Answer:
her recognized gain on the sale of her old principal residence is $193,000 and her basis in the inherited home is $600,000.
Explanation:
Recognized gain on sale of old house
= ($600,000 - $125000) - $30,000 - $2000
= $443,000
Paula's recognized gain = $443,000 - $250,000
= $193,000
Her basis in the inherited home = $500,000 + $100,000
= $600,000
Therefore, her recognized gain on the sale of her old principal residence is $193,000 and her basis in the inherited home is $600,000.
