Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Unemployed people are those who are out of work and who are actively looking for a job. They are also those citizens they are willing to work but cannot find.

The unemployment rate is 6 percent.

So, The number of unemployed workers in this economy is 9 million (6 percent of 150 million civilian labour force)

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It does not necessarily means that when a firm gets a normal rate of return, it earns economic profit also, as it depends on various factors:

  • Normal rate of return is based on competitive market, as an average rate of return on market, but if the investment is made from borrowed funds, it might be that the company is not able to pay the cost of borrowing in that case it is even after attaining the normal rate of return it will not earn economic profit.
