Answer:

The number of unemployed persons is 15​ if we assume the person who are looking for work are NOT “unemployed”

The number of unemployed persons is 25​ if we understand “looking for work” is “unemployed currently”

Explanation:

If we assume the person who are looking for work are NOT “unemployed” then:  

Total 100 people  = 60 of whom hold jobs + and 15 of whom are retired + 10 of whom are looking for work  + unemployed persons  

⇒ unemployed persons = 100 – 60  - 15 – 10 = 15

However, it’s better to understand “looking for work” is “unemployed currently”, then  

Total 100 people  = 60 of whom hold jobs + and 15 of whom are retired + unemployed persons (including whom looking for work)

⇒ unemployed persons = 100 – 60  - 15 = 25

1. What is a supply chain? How can managerial accountants help to improve the supply chain?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer: 1a. A supply chain is the summation of processes involved in ensuring that goods manufactured by a company gets to the final consumer.

Explanation:

1b. Managerial Accountants can improve the supply chain by looking out for hitches in the distribution cycle of goods and being proactive about handling them. Some measures to achieve these are;

1. Effective Logistics Network - All the resources used on logistics such as vehicles, Information technology devices/software, human resources, etc., should be regularly checked to be in good form at all times and equally, efficient.

2. Stock Control - Goods that may be required by costumers at any point in time should always be available.

3. Efficient Payment System - All resources used for payment including bank account information point of sale machines, should be regularly checked to be in good order.

4. Distribution Strategies - A clear cut map should be put in place by the management to facilitate an efficient and prompt delivery system. This can be done by strengthening all departments involved in distribution.

2. Sustainable Practices are those methods of production or initiatives, adopted by companies that seek to limit damage to the environment. An example, is recycling. These practices are geared at ensuring a safer world.

I would invest in a company that discloses their sustainable practices, first, because I believe they are transparent, and secondly because I believe that such companies aim at being enduring companies which are evolving and living up to the demands of a cleaner earth.

1. Calculate GDP loss if equilibrium level of GDP is $10,000, unemployment rate 9.8%, and the MPC is 0.75.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer: 860

Explanation:

The gross domestic product is the value of the goods and services which are produced in a particular country from the year.

In this question, we are informed that we should calculate GDP loss if equilibrium level of GDP is $10,000, unemployment rate 9.8%, and the marginal prospensity to consume is 0.75.

The GDP loss will be calculated as:

= [(0.75 × 9.8)/100 × 10,000] + 125

= [(7.35/100) × 10000] + 125

= [(0.0735) × 10000] + 125

= 735 + 125

= 860

Suppose that Dmitri, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Frances, an economist from a public television program
posledela

Answer:

  • Difference in scientific judgements
  • A. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.

Explanation:

The difference in opinion between these two is based on a difference between in scientific judgments because they believe that different things will happen in response to implementing a different form of taxes.

Regardless of what they think in the above regard, these economists are most likely to support the outsourcing of work if it is cheaper to do so because economists generally believe that the most efficient method of production should be undertaken.
