Answer:
a. The actual unemployment rate was higher during the recession of 1990-1991, but cyclical unemployment was higher in 2001.
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as the number of people in a population that are willing to work and seeking for jobs but do not have employment.
Natural unemployment is defined as the normal process of leaving jobs and getting jobs in a situation when there is full employment.
Cyclical unemployment is created by recessions and booms.
Actual unemployment = Natural rate + Cyclical rate
Cyclical unemployment= Actual rate - Natural rate
In the first economy
Cyclical rate = 7 - 5.9= 1.1%
In the second economy
Cyclical rate= 6 - 4.8= 1.2%
So actual unemployment was 7% in 1990-1991 while in 2001 it was 6%
Cyclical unemployment was 1.1% in 1990-1991, while cyclical unemployment was 1.2%

Answer:
The correct option is Debit Cash $1,864,097; debit Discount on Bonds Payable $135,903; credit Bonds Payable $2,000,000.
Explanation:
This question is an instance of bonds issued at a discount. This happens when a bond is issued below the face value of the bond and also happens when the coupon rate on the bond payable is less than the market rate.
The face value of the bond payable is $2,000,000 while the market value is $1,864,097, so there is a discount of $2,000,000 - $1,864,097 = $135,903 on the bond payable, which is to be amortized over the life of the bond payable.
So, the appropriate journals to record this transaction is as provided above.
