Answer:

a). Unemployment rate in March=8%

b). Unemployment rate in April=9.4%

Explanation:

a).

The unemployment rate can be expressed as;

R=P/L

where;

R=unemployment rate

P=number of unemployed persons

L=labor force

In our case;

R=unknown

P=number of unemployed persons=labor force-number of employed persons

P=100-92=8 million

L=100 million

replacing;

R=8/100=0.08×100=8%

The unemployment rate in March=8%

b).Unemployment rate for April

Unemployment rate={(total unemployed+discouraged workers)/(labor force+discouraged workers)}×100

total unemployed=8 million

discouraged workers=1.5 million

labor force=100 million

replacing;

Unemployment rate=(8+1.5)/(100+1.5)=(9.5/101.5)×100=9.4%

Unemployment rate in April=9.4%

Blue Co. had the following first-year amounts related to its $12,000,000 construction contract: Actual costs incurred and paid $
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$900,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount excluding cash is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

% completion during the year is

= $3,000,000 ÷ ($3,000,000 + $6,000,000)

= 33.3333%

Now Total revenue to be recognized for the year is

= $12,000,000 × 33.33333%

= $4,000,000

Profit for the year is

= $4,000,000 - $3,000,000

= $1,000,000

Now Accounts receivables at the end of year is

= Billings - Collection

= $3,500,000 - $3,100,000 = $400,000

Now Cost and profits in excess of billings

= ($3,000,000 + $1,000,000) - $3,500,000

= $500,000

And, finally Total amount of current assets to be recognize at year end is

= $400,000 + $500,000

= $900,000

DASH Airlines is considering the addition of a flight from Red Cloud to David City. The total cost of the flight would be $1,100
Talja [164]

Answer: add this flight because marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs.

Explanation:

Since the total cost of the flight would be $1,100, of which $800 are fixed costs already incurred, then the variable cost in this case will be )$1100 - $800) = $300.

Since the expected revenues from the flight are $600, thus implies that the total revenue exceeds total variable cost and therefore Dash should add the flight because total revenue is more than total variable cost and the marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs.
