Population - 50,000
Employed - 45,000
Students not looking for work - 1,000

To calculate Boone's unemployment rate you'll use the formula: 
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force

Those that fall into the unemployment category are those that are not working but are actively looking/wanting to work. Students, stay-at-home moms etc that are not wanting to work, though unemployed, to not fall into this category.

The labor force is made up of everyone willing and able to work.

First, let's subtract the students who are not looking for work from the population so get the labor force. 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 (labor force)

Next, to get the number of people unemployed let us subtract the labor force of 49,000 by those already employed of 45,000. 49,000 - 45,000 = 4,000

Finally, we are able to calculate the unemployment rate of Boone. 
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Unemployment rate = 4,000/49,000= .081 multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 8.1%
Unemployment rate of Boone is 8.1%

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$268,696.93

Explanation:

Where an equal amount of money is saved periodically to earn interest at a particular rate of interest to accumulate a target amount in the future , it is called a sinking fund. The purpose could be for retirement, loan repayment or asset acquisition

The sum accumulated (deposit plus interest earned) at the end of the final period is known as the Future Value (FV) of the sinking fund.

The FV is determined as follows:

FV = A × ((1+r/m)^(n× m) - 1)/(r/m))

where FV- future value, A- annual cash flow, r-rate of return, n- number of years, m- number of compounding periods in a year.

<em>so we can apply  this to our question</em>

a = 1700, r - 8%= 0.08, m=4, n- 18

FV = 1,700 ×( (1+0.08/4)^(18 × 4) - 1)/(0.08/4))

     = 1700  × 158.0570

     =$268,696.93

The account will have $268,696.93 at he end of he 18 years

Suppose an investment offers to triple your money in 24 months (don't believe it). What rate of return per quarter are you being
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

30.77%

Explanation:

Assume investment = $1

Assume mount after 24 months = $5

Number of quarters in 24 months = 24/4 = 6

Future value = P*(1+r)^n; Where P is payment, r is interest rate per period, n is number of periods

5000 = 1*(1+i)^6

1*(1+i) = 5^(1/6)

1+i = 1.30766048601

i = 1.30766048601 - 1

i = 0.30766048601

i = 30.77%

So, the rate of return per quarter being offered is 30.77%
