Population - 50,000
Employed - 45,000
Students not looking for work - 1,000
To calculate Boone's unemployment rate you'll use the formula:
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Those that fall into the unemployment category are those that are not working but are actively looking/wanting to work. Students, stay-at-home moms etc that are not wanting to work, though unemployed, to not fall into this category.
The labor force is made up of everyone willing and able to work.
First, let's subtract the students who are not looking for work from the population so get the labor force. 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 (labor force)
Next, to get the number of people unemployed let us subtract the labor force of 49,000 by those already employed of 45,000. 49,000 - 45,000 = 4,000
Finally, we are able to calculate the unemployment rate of Boone.
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Unemployment rate = 4,000/49,000= .081 multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 8.1%
Unemployment rate of Boone is 8.1%
Answer:
A) it will need to sale 5193 pizzas
B) selling 20 per day it will take 260 days
C) if price decrease by 1 dollar to 7.95 the new BEP will be 6,429 dollars
and will take 322 days to achieve break even
Explanation:
fixed cost: 27,000 oven
sales price 8.95
variable cost 3.75 frozen pizza:
contribution margin: 5.2
break even:
27,000 dollars / 5.2 dollar per pizza= 5.192,30
5,192 pizzas / 20 per day = 259.6 days
If sale price decrease by one dollar:
27,000 dollar / 4.2 contribution per pizza= 6.428,57
6,429 / 20 per day = 321.4

Explanation:
An increase in an effective maximum legal price will do what to prices and quantities sold in a market?
A maximum legal price is an effective tool to control prices. Usually, the price is below its equilibrium. An increase in the maximum legal price will increase prices and the quantities sold will decrease. When prices go up, companies offer more quantities of a product, but consumers demand less.
