Among those not working, the most recent job-search activity for 2.90 million happened less than two weeks ago, while 1.72 million most recently looked for work between two and four weeks ago. An additional 0.86 million most recently looked for work five weeks ago, and the remaining 10.99 million who do not have jobs have not looked for work in the past six weeks.

Answer:

Total no. of people employed:

= No. of people working part-time + No. of people working full time

= 4.9 million + 14.53 million

= 19.43 million

Total no. of people unemployed:

= People in the working age population who are not working and have looked for work in the past four weeks

= 2.90 + 1.72 million

= 4.62 million

Labor force = Total no. of people employed + Total no. of people unemployed

= 19.43 million + 4.62 million

= 24.05 million

Labor force participation rate:

=\frac{Labor\ force}{Total\ non-institutionalized\ working\ age\ population}

=\frac{24.05}{35.9}

= 0.6699

= 66.99%

Unemployment rate:

=\frac{No. of people unemployed}{Total labor force}

=\frac{4.62}{24.05}

      = 0.1920

      = 19.20%

You deposit​ $5,000 per year at the end of each of the next 25 years into an account that pays​ 8% compounded annually. How much
Volgvan

Answer:

The correct answer is A. $18,276

Explanation:

First you have to calculate how much you'd end up having at the end of the 25 years period in your savings account.

You calculate the total amount saved for each year, using the formula:

S_{n} = S_{n-1} *(1+r)+D

Where

S_{n} is the total amount in the savings account for this period.

S_{n-1} is the total amount in the savings account from the previous period.

ris the interest rate.

Dare the annual deposits being made into the savings account.

Therefore for the first year you'd do:

S_{1} = S_{0} *(1+r)+D

S_{1} = 0*(1+0.08)+5000=5000

For the second year:

S_{2} = S_{1} *(1+r)+D

S_{2} = 5000*(1+0.08)+5000=10400

And so on. You can help yourself calculate the value of this series using programs like Excel.

I have attached an Excel file that has a table with the savings values for each of the 25 years.

So, the 25th year you’ll have $365,529.70 in your savings account. Now you simply divide this number by 20 (that will be the number of years you’ll be withdrawing the same dollar amount from your savings account):

Withdrawals = 365,529.70/20=18,276.485

In conclusion, you’d be able to withdraw $18,276.485 each year for the following 20 years after the 25th deposit, if all withdrawals are the same dollar amount.

As of the end of its accounting period, December 31, Year 1, Great Plains Company has assets of $940,000 and liabilities of $300
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Th answer is: net income for year 2 is $45,000

Explanation:

We must first determine the equity for both years (equity= assets - liabilities)

  • Equity year 1 = $940,000 - $300,000 = $640,000
  • Equity year 2 = $995,000 - $270,000 = $725,000

Then we calculate the change in equity:

  • change in equity = $725,000 - $640,000 = $85,000

Finally to determine the net income or year 2 we use the following formula:

Net income (Y2)= change in equity - additional investments + dividends paid

net income (Y2) = $85,000 -$73,000 + $33,000 = $45,000

At the beginning of the year, Rangle Company expected to incur $59,000 of overhead costs in producing 5,900 units of product. Th
kaheart [24]

Answer: Total cost of the units made in January = $38,500

Explanation:

Given that,

At the beginning of the year, overhead costs = $59,000

Units produced at this cost = 5900 units

Direct material cost = $25 per unit

Direct labor cost = $35 per unit

Units produced during January = 550 units

Predetermined overhead rate = \frac{Total\ expected\ overhead\ cost}{Number\ of\ units}

= \frac{59000}{5900}

= $10 per unit

Now,

Costs incurred in January:

Direct material cost = $25 per unit × 550 units = $13750

Direct labor cost = $35 per unit × 550 units = $19250

Overhead cost = $10 per unit × 550 units = $5500

∴ Total cost of the units made in January = Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead cost

= 13750 + 19250 + 5500

= $38,500
