Why is it easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare?

1 answer:

6 0

It is easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare because traditional means of tracking economic activity, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) can be used. Housework on the other hand is not easily measurable because the traditional means of tracking economic activity do not take account of non-exchange, non-market household activity.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Market value of common stocks (6,000 x $25) = 150,000

Market value of preferred stocks (9,000 x $20) = 180,000

Market value of the company 330,000

Proceeds allocated to common stocks

= $150,000/$330,000 x $312,000

= $141,818

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The market value of the company is the aggregate of market value of common stocks and market value of preferred stocks.The market value of each stock is equal to number of each stock outstanding multiplied by market price per share. Thus, the proceeds allocated to common stock equals the market value of equity divided by market value of the company multiplied by the lump sum.

Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.

Answer:

stay the same; decrease

Explanation:

Remember, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not unemployed. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.

The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy. If the working hours are reduced, it may diminish the zeal among the workforce of an economy to work or find work because they may perceive they''ll earn less.
