Answer:

structurally unemployed.

Explanation:

Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;

1. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).

2. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).

3. Structural unemployment rate (SU).

Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.

This ultimately implies that, it describes a situation where an individual isn't able to secure a job as a result of insufficient number of jobs matching their qualifications, thus limiting their opportunities.

In this scenario, Monica Smith was unemployed because the steel company, where she worked, closed and moved overseas to a foreign country. Other steel companies have also closed. Her skills are not transferable to another industry and she is unable to get a job.

Hence, she would be classified as structurally unemployed.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation below.

Situation 1 and 2 have disclosure while situation 3 does not require any disclosure.

Explanation:

Situation 1. Accrual. The one-year warranty has created what is known as contingent liability. Contingent liability is a type of liability that is dependent on the outcome of some specific actions which has happened in the past. The eventual liability may or may not happen. But since the probable claim from the one-year warranty has been determined, it should be disclosed. But if the claim cannot be determined, it shouldn't be disclosed.

Situation 2. Since this contract happened before the issuance of financial statement and the amount of loss from this contract can be reasonably estimated or determined, then it must be disclosed and the likely amount must also be disclosed. This disclosure will be under 'note to the financial statement'.

Situation 3. This is a self insurance and self insurance is not an insurance. There is no contingent liability in this situation. Also, there is no accident, no injury. Hence, this is no disclosure here.
