Answer:

8.33%

Explanation:

The computation of the unemployment rate is shown below;

Before computing it, first we have to determine the labor force which is

As we know that

Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Total non-institutionalized adult population

75% = Labor force ÷ 4,000,000

So, the labor force is

= 4,0000,000 × 0.75

= 3,000,000

Now unemployment rate is

= Unemployed people ÷ Labor force

= 250,000 ÷ 3,000,000

= 8.33%

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Depositing in bank is a better option.

Explanation:

For this solution, we can either determine the interest rate given to George by his one of the friend or the future worth method,

Future worth method is used here,

Given that,

PV = $6,900

R = 9%

N = 10 Years

FV = PV\times(1+R)^{N}

FV = 6,900\times(1+0.09)^{10}

FV = 6,900\times(1.09)^{10}

FV = 6,900 × 2.3673

FV = $16,334.81

Since, the future worth of investing in bank is more than the money to be offered by the George's friend (16,334.81 > 12,900) and hence, depositing in bank is a better option.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

e. All of the other choices

Explanation:

Product liability is the responsibility that a company bears for injury caused by its products as a result of a defect.

In this instance Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.

So for any injury users have they will be liable.

If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic they will have to consider:

- How this litigation will affect its goodwill

- Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option

- Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships

- The costs associated with litigating this claim

This is because they will most likely lose the case.

If assets have decreased by $4,000, or stockholders' equity has increased by $4,000, then total liabilities must have A : increa
patriot [66]

Answer:

C : decreased by $4,000

Explanation:

As we know that

The accounting equation is

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

To balance the balance sheet we use the accounting equation

That means the total assets is equal to the sum of the total liabilities and the stockholder equity

Since in the given situation, the assets decreased by $4,000 or if the stockholder equity has increased by $4,000 so the total assets must also decreased by $4,000 itself
