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%

WACC. Eric has another​ get-rich-quick idea, but needs funding to support it. He chooses an​ all-debt funding scenario. He will
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

274.7%

Explanation:

The total amount that Eric will borrow will be = 43114311+33503350+13391339 = 90009000.

Now to calculate WACC, we will apply the WACC formula:

WACC = (43114311/90009000)*0.66 + (33503350/90009000)*0.88 + (13391339/90009000)*14.14

Hence,

WACC = 274.74%

The solution was very simple, we just applied the WACC formula by taking the total amount of debt in the denominator of each of the loans taken and multiplied it by the interest rate on which it is taken.

Hope this helps, although I think the values in the question are not correct, but nonetheless I have provide the correct solution according to the given values.

Thanks.
