Unemployment rate = (number of unemployed / labour force) x 100

To collect data on unemployment, The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts a survey every month known as the Current Population Survey (CPS).

types of unemployment

structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.

The geologist lost his hob permanently due to increase in wages (polices)

Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom

You wish to earn a return of 13% on each of two stocks, X and Y. Stock X is expected to pay a dividend of $3 in the upcoming yea

Otrada [13]

Answer: D. will be less than the intrinsic value of stock Y

Explanation:

Based on the information given above, the intrinsic value of Stock X will be calculated thus:

D1 = Dividend in next year = $3

g = growth rate = 7%

r = = 13%

Therefore, intrinsic value of Stock X will be:

= D1 / (r-g)

= 3 / (13% - 7%)

= 3/6%

= 3 / 0.06

= $50

Therefore, the intrinsic value of stock X is $50.

Intrinsic value of Stock Y will b calculated thus:

D1 = $4

g = 7%

r = 13%

Intrinsic value of Stock Y will be:

= D1 / (r-g)

= 4 / (13% - 7%)

= 4/6%

= 4 / 0.06

= 66.67

Intrinsic value of Stock Y is $66.67

Therefore, the intrinsic value of Stock X will be less than the intrinsic value of Stock Y

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded = 14 million - 15 million = -1 million

average of both demands = (14 million + 15 million ) / 2 = 14.50 million

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = -1 million / 14.50 million = -0.069

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $2.15 - $1.35 = $0.80

average of both prices = ( $2.15 + $1.35 ) / 2 = $1.75

midpoint change in price = $0.80 / $1.75 = 0.457

-0.069 / 0.457 = 0.15 demand is inelastic

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Old Camp Company manufactures awnings for its own line of tents. The company is currently operating at capacity and has received

Helen [10]

Answer:

It is more convenient to continue the production in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company is currently operating at capacity and has received an offer from one of its suppliers to make the 12,000 awnings it needs for $25 each. Old Camp’s costs to make the awning are $12 in direct materials and $7 in direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is 70 percent of direct labor. If Old Camp accepts the offer, $42,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the awnings will have to be absorbed by other product lines.

Make in house:

Variable costs= 12 + 7 + (7*0.70)= $23.9

Total variable costs= 23.9*12000= 286,800

Buy= 25*12,000= $300,000

It is more convenient to continue the production in house.

Which of the following is an example of cannibalization? Group of answer choices A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of to

Elis [28]

Answer:

The corrects answer is: A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of toothpaste (that contains baking soda) to its product line.

Explanation:

Cannibalization is a market strategy that can occur without the company's intention, and can be defined as when a company replaces a product on the market with a similar new product, as in the example above, when a toothpaste manufacturer adds a new one line of toothpaste (containing sodium bicarbonate) to its product line.

This strategy can be detrimental to the company, since there may be less sales of an existing product for a similar product, which consequently generated higher production costs for the organization, therefore it would not be characterized as gains for the company, but as losses , as this strategy would not increase the company's market share, but a detriment of one product by another.

Therefore, it is necessary that there is constant monitoring of each product in the company so that cannibalization does not occur and each product contributes to the company's profitability individually.
