Answer:
Longer periods of unemployment for their workers.
Explanation:
Unemployment is when people who are willing and able work do not have jobs
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.
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
If a government gives generous unemployment insurance programs, there would be less incentive to find jobs because one of the main reasons why people would want to work is to have money. If the government provides generous pay to the unemployed, there would be less motivation to work and unemployment increases
Answer:
$2,848.94
Explanation:
first of all, we must determine the amount of money that we need to have in our account in order to be able to withdraw $25,000 in 10 years.
You will start making your semiannual deposits today and they will end in exactly 2 years, so we need to find out the present value of the $25,000 in two years:
PV = $25,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁶ = $15,579.17
that is now the future value of our annuity due:
FV = semiannual deposit x FV annuity due factor (3%, 5 periods)
$15,579.17 = semiannual deposit x 5.46841
semiannual deposit = $15,579.17 / 5.46841 = $2,848.94
