6 0

Answer: 6%

Explanation:

Total population= 260 million.

Dependent population= 60 million

Employed population= 188 million

Unemployed population= 12 million

Total Labour Force= employed population + unemployed population

= 188 million + 12 million

= 200 million

Therefore total labor force= 200 million

Unemployment rate= unemployed people/ Total Labour Force×100

= 12 million/200 million×100

=0.06× 100

=6%

Unemployment rate= 6%

Answer:

Acumulated value=57,775.84

Explanation:

this problem can be solved applying the concept of annuity, keep in mind that an annuity is a formula which allows you to calculate the future value of future payments affected by an interest rate.by definition the future value of an annuity is given by:

s_{n} =P*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1 }{i}

where s_{n} is the future value of the annuity, i is the interest rate for every period payment, n is the number of payments, and P is the regular amount paid

But there is an special thing to keep in mind and is the initial payment so we must to calculate the 4,000 in the future so we have:

Acumulated value=s_{n} +P*(1+i)^{n}

Acumulated value=1,500*s_{18} +4,000*(1+0.06)^{18}

Acumulated value=57,775.84

You invest $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of a risky asset with an expected rate of return o
gladu [14]

Answer:

The rate of return on the risky asset is 16% and on treasury bill is 6% and we need a return of (1100-1,000)/1000= 10% or 0.1

If we think of x as the percentage investment in risky asset and 1-x as the investment in non risky asset we can mathematically find what proportion we need to invest in each asset to get this return.

16x+ 6(1-x)=10

16x+6-6x=10

10x=4

x=4/10

x= 0.4

This equation tells us that we should invest 40% in risky assets and 1-x which is 60% in treasury bills. We can test our answer by putting these values and see if the return is 10 %

(0.4*16)+(0.6*6)= Rate of return

Rate of return=10%

10% of 1000 = 100

100+1000=$1100
