horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Frictional unemployment occurs when people decided to leave their jobs and look for another or people join the labor force for the first time.

Structural unemployment arises from a situation where there is a mismatch between the skills needed in an economy and the skills possessed by people. Happens a lot when employees need to adapt to new technology.

Cyclical unemployment happens as a result of the economy either growing or shrinking.

a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm. ⇒ FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

d. A recent recession has reduced the number visitors to a local theme park. The park has had to lay off many of its employee, including Beth. ⇒ CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

A company enters into a short futures contract to sell 5000 bushels of wheat for 571'4 cents per bushel. The initial margin is $

zalisa [80]

Answer:

563.4 cents

Explanation:

A margin call occurs when the margin of an investment falls bellow the maintenance margin.

In this problem, the production costs for 5,000 bushels are given by:

$Margin = Price*units -Cost\\\$1,500=\$5.714*5000 - Cost\\Cost = \$27,070$

The price per bushel that yields a margin of $1,100 is:

$\$1,100=Price*5,000- \$27,070\\Price =\$5.634=563.4\ cents$

You will receive a margin call at a price of 563.4 cents per bushel.

Use the following information to answer the question. There are three firms in an economy: X, Y, and Z. Firm X buys $200 worth o

Kamila [148]

Answer:

$2,775

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP of the economy is given below:

But before that the total value sold by three firms would be determined

Total amount of goods sold by X:

= X sells to Y + X sells to Z

= $150 + $75

= $225

Total amount of goods sold by Y:

= Y sells to X + Y sells to Z

= $200 + $50

= $250

Total amount of goods sold by Z:

= Z sells to X + Z sells to Y

= $300 + $250

= $550

Now

Amount of goods generated by X

= units of output × cost per unit

= 250 units × $4

= $1,000

Value of goods generated by Y

= units of output × cost per unit

= 300 units × $6

= $1,800

Value of goods generated by Z

= units of output × cost per unit

= 500 units × $2

= $1,000

Now GDP is

= [Goods generated by X - Valued added by X] + [Goods generated by Y - Value added by Y] + [Goods generated by Z - Value added by Z]

= [$1,000 - $225] + [$1,800 - $250] + [$1,000 - $550]

= $775 + $1,550 + $450

= $2,775

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (252,000/30,000) + 2.1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.5 per machine hour

Job T687:

Number of units in the job 10

Total machine-hours 30

Direct materials $ 675

Direct labor cost $1,050

Now, we need to allocate overhead and determine the total cost:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 10.5*30= $315

Total cost= 675 + 1,050 + 315= $2,040

Finally, the unitary cost and selling price:

Unitary cost= 2,040/10= $240

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

A tour group split into two groups when waiting in line for food at a fast food counter. The first group bought 8 slices of pizz

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The cost of an slice of pizza is $3.94

Explanation:

Hi, we have to construct 2 equations with the information of the problem, the first one is " 8 slices of pizza and 7 soft drinks for $45.10".

$8P+7D=45.10$

And the second one, when "The second group bought 6 slices of pizza and 5 soft drinks for $33.34" is.

$6P+5D=33.34$

Where: P = pizza slices and D= soft drinks

We need to substract one equation from the other, but firs we need to equal one of the variables. In order to do so, we multiply our first equation by 5 and the second one for 7, therefore we get.

First equation

$40P+35D=225.5$
