arlik [135]

Numbers of suppliers in a purely competitive market dictate how easy it is to start a business or transform it in that sector.

Explanation:

Entry an d Exit in a business sector means the ease of starting or transforming a business that is involved in a particular market sector.

Suppose the civilian noninstitutionalized working-age population is 35.9 million in in a hypothetical economy. Of these, 4.9 mil
goblinko [34]

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%

Relevant costs are future incremental cash costs that arise as a direct consequence of a decision.

The relevant cash flows of this decision include the following:

  1. Variable cost of production -(3.10 +2.25 +1.15) + $0.20= $6.7 per unit
  2. Cost of additional machine    -   $12,000.
  3. Sales revenue from the special offer

                                                                                             $

Sales revenue from special offer (15,000×$7.00) =   105,000

Variable cost (15,000× $6.7)                                        (100,500)

Cost of additional machine    -                                 <u>    (12,000)</u>

Net loss from accepting the order                              <u> (7,500)</u>
