Long term unemployment is defined as being unemployed for 27 weeks or more. In this example there are a total of 60 people, 52 people who would be categorized as short term unemployment and 8 people who would be categorized as long term unemployment.
In order to calculate the percentage of unemployment in each category you will need to divide the number in each category by the total number.
Short term = 52/60 = 86.7%
Long term - 6/60 = 13.3%
The short-run price elasticity of demand will be inelastic and the short-run price elasticity of supply will be inelastic.
Elasticity of demand measures the relationship that exists between price and quantity demanded.
Elasticity of supply measures how quantity supplied changes when there is a change in the price of a good.
<u><em>Types of elasticity.</em></u>
-
Elastic demand (supply): This means that demand (supply) is sensitive to price changes
- Inelastic demand (supply): this means that demand (supply) does not respond to price changes. The coefficient of elasticity is less than one.
- Unit elastic demand (supply): demand (supply) changes in equal proportion. The coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.
<em><u>Factors that affect elasticity </u></em>
-
The number of substitutes the good has: the more substitutes the good has, the more elastic demand is.
- The length of time: demand (supply) is inelastic in the short run. In the short run, producers (consumers) do not have enough time to find suitable substitutes. In the long run, producers would have more time to search for suitable substitutes or shift to the production of other goods when compared with the short-run.
- Ease of entry or exit into an industry: the more easy it is for firms to enter into an industry, the more elastic supply would be.

Answer:
Short-run economics primarily affect price.
Explanation:
When demand decreases for any reason, prices go down in the short term. When demand spikes, prices go up. ... Long-run adjustments occur when sustained increases or decreases in demand cause a business to change its practices and can affect both price and the means of production.
In this question, we are not provided with the specific numbers that are necessary to produce a graphical approach. Therefore, we cannot provide that part of the answer. However, we are able to talk, in general terms, about what an increase of grain production in the United States would cause in the rest of the world.
This is an effect of what is known as globalization. Globalization refers to the integration of the world's markets in goods and services, as well as flows of investment and people across national boundaries.
In order for globalization to take place, several processes have to occur first. Nations begin specializing in the production of good and services in which they are relatively low-cost producers. This allows for mutual gains for people in trading countries. However, while some groups might benefit, some others might be harmed by this pattern, such as those producing the goods that compete with the imports. In this example, some countries might benefit, but those that compete with the United States in terms of grain production might be damaged by the increased production of the United States.
Answer:
Explanation:
Definition of simple terminologies ;
- A contractual agreement is an agreement which is made on future exchanges in order to buy or sell goods at a fixed price at a specified time period.
- LIBOR stands for London interbank offered rate which is the rate at which banks borrow money from other banks in london market. this rate is a fixed term by the british bankers association.
a) The implied LIBOR of the September Eurodollar futures of 96.4 is = 100 96.4 /400-=0.9%
(b) As we want to borrow money, it implies buying protection against high interest rates, which means low Eurodollar future prices. We will short the Eurodollar contract.
c) Number of contact to be entered into = One Eurodollar contract which is based on a $1 million 3-month deposit. As such, entering into hedge a loan of $50M, will automatically implies entering into 50 short contracts.
d) A true 3-month LIBOR of 1% means an annualized position (annualized by market conventions) of 1% x 4 = 4%. Therefore, our 50 short contracts will pay: [96.4 − (100 − 4) × 100 × $25] × 50 = $50,000.
The increased interest rate has made the loan more expensive as such, the loss to exposure will be compensated hence we have to pay the following amount ; ($50,000,000 x 0.01) - $50,000
= $450,000
