Answer:
Unemployment Rate for March and April:
March unemployment rate = Unemployed/Labor Force x 100 = (102-94)/102 x 100 = 8/102 x 100 = 7.8%
April unemployment rate = (102 - 94)/102 x 100 = 8/102 x 100 = 7.8%
Explanation:
a) The unemployed equals the Labor Force minus the employed.
b) In April, the unemployed did not increase from 8 million to 9 million because of the discouraged workers. It remained the same figure as in March.
Discouraged workers are those who are unemployed but have stopped looking for employment after a long time of unemployment, but would have preferred to be working. Since they stopped actively job-hunting, they are regarded as discouraged workers. They still want to work, but are unable to find work and as a result, decide to stop looking.
Answer:
Total overhead rate = $34.17 per machine hour
Explanation:
The total overhead rate would the sum of the variable overhead rate and the fixed overhead rate
<em>The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate = Estimated fixed overhead /Estimated machine hours </em>
<em>DATA:</em>
<em>Estimated overhead - $256,500.</em>
<em>Estimated machine hours - 10,000 machine hours</em>
The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate =
$256,500/ 10,000 machine hours = 25.65 per hour
<em>The pre-determined overhead absorption rate = $25.65 per hour</em>
Total overhead rate = Variable rate + Fixed rate
= $8.52 + $25.65 = $34.17
Total overhead rate = $34.17 per machine hour
Normalization <span>is the process of converting a poorly-structured table into two or more well-structured tables.
The main purpose of normalization is to make the table more readable by non-experts so it could be easier to use as a tool to help in the decision-making process.</span>
Answer:
Hi the number of years to maturity for this Bond is missing. I have tried to search for the full question online but could not find it. However, I will help you get the technique to solve this problem.
The amount of money you pay for the Bond is its Present Value (PV) normally called Current Price of the Bond.
To calculate this, you should have the other remaining elements of the Bond which are : Coupon rate (PMT) , Period of payments within a year (P/YR), Yield To Maturity (YTM), Par Value (Future Value of Bond).
<u>So </u><u><em>assuming</em></u><u> that the Bond in question matures in </u><em><u>5 years</u></em><u> the calculation will be as follows :</u>
Pmt = (1,000,000 × 2%) ÷ 2 = $10,000
Ytm = 1.85 %
Fv = $1,000,000
P/yr = 2
N = 5 × 2 = 10
Pv = ?
You would pay $1,007,132 for this bond
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
When the price of a bond is at par, it means that the coupon rate and the Yield to Maturity are the same.
The Coupon rate is the interest rate that the Issuer of the bond pays the bond holders as a percentage of Par.
The Coupon payment here is $100 and the rate is;
= 100/1,000
= 10%
<em>Coupon Rate = 10% = Yield to Maturity </em>
