The correct answer is "option B".

Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

Explanation:

The demand for labor among cotton-producing Texas will firms in Texas will increase. This will happen because of the increase in world price leads to increment in wages.

The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will decrease. This is because cotton is an input. The increase in price of cotton increases the cost which reduces the profits which leads to less hiring of workers.

The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as frictional unemployment.

Government measures to reduce frictional unemployment is:

Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

2)9%

3)15 periods

4) 6%

5) $ 78,867.70

Explanation:

PV Annuity per period rate time

1. ? 3,000 8% 5

2. 242,980 75,000 ? 4

3. 161,214 20,000 9% ?

4. 500,000 80,518 ? 8

5. 250,000 ? 10% 4

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 3,000.00

time 5

rate 0.08

$3000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-5} }{0.08} = PV\\$

PV $11,978.1301

solved using excel goal seek or financial calculator

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 75,000.00

time 4

rate 0.089998108 we set up the formula PV(A2;4,75000)

then we use goal seek to find which value of a2(which is the argument for rate) makes the formula equal to 242980

$75000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0899981076987946)^{-4} }{0.0899981076987946} = PV\\$

PV $242,980.0000

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C $20,000.00

time n

rate 0.09

PV $161,214.0000

$20000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.09)^{-n} }{0.09} = 161214\\$

$(1+0.09)^{-n}= 1-\frac{161214\times0.09}{20000}$

$(1+0.09)^{-n}= 0.27453700$

$-n= \frac{log0.274537}{log(1+0.09)$

-15.00004401

same as (2) solved using excel

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 80,518.00

time 8

rate 0.06000009

$80518 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0600000899864588)^{-8} }{0.0600000899864588} = PV\\$

PV $500,000.0000

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\$

PV 250,000

time 4

rate 0.1

$250000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-4} }{0.1} = C\\$

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

If there is a huge increase in the number of Americans travelling to Europe then as a result the demand for the euros increases in the foreign exchange market.

Americans won't be able to spend dollar for doing any transaction in Europe, so there is a need to exchange dollar for euros. Hence, this will increase the demand for euros and there is a appreciation of Europe currency. Therefore, the value of euro also increases.
