Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the official unemployment rate is shown below:
Official unemployment rate is
= Unemployed workers ÷ (Unemployed + employed) × 100
= 13,863,000 ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000) × 100
= 9.05%
Now for the U-4 is
= (Unemployed workers + discouraged workers) ÷ (Unemployed + employed + discouraged workers) × 100
= (13,863,000 + $993,000) ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000 + $993,000) × 100
= 9.64%
Therefore for exclduing the discouraged workers it may cause the offical rate to understate the underemployment true extent
Answer:
It is true that raising gasoline prices (either by producing less of it, or by adding taxes) would reduce gasoline use. The concept of price elasticity of demand can helps us explain why.
Explanation:
A good can be either elastic or inelastic depending on its price elasticity of demand. A price elasticity of demand of less than 1 is considered inelastic, while a price elasticity of demand higher than 1 is considered elastic.
Elastic goods are those whose quantity demanded falls or rises more than the price. Inelastic goods are those whose quantity demanded falls or rises less than the price.
Gasoline is a inelastic good in the short-term because even with a price hike, most people will still buy gasoline because they need to move around. However, in the long-term, gasoline becomes more elastic because people replace their buy electric cars, or cars that use less fuel, etc.
What this tells us is that raising gasoline prices can reduce gasoline use in the long-term.
A built-in injustice in this measure is that it affects the poor disproportionally. Poor people also need cars to get around, and a rise in the gasoline price means that they have less money for other basic needs.
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
Answer:
The correct answer is FALSE.
- First it's not sound investment advice to put all his savings into an investment because as the narrative rightly points out, he may have other needs.
- Second, high growth stock are also
- high risk
- they only pay in the long term only if the company is successful because dividends are re-invested which is one of the reasons the companies grow quickly.
Although they are high risk, they also have great advantages such as:
- High growth rate: this means if all goes well David will enjoy a good return on his investment;
- It's also a way to protect his money from erosion by inflation
What can David do?
Subject to the advise of a professional investment professional
- David needs to take into consideration his immediate needs, set aside some funds to take care of that.
- Invest the balance into a mix of high growth rate stock which are high yielding but risky and low growth rate but secure investment like government bonds.
- Start a small business by the side or get a job in the interim as he continues with his new life.
Cheers!
