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%

My Notes Your small farm encompasses 110 acres, and you are planning to grow tomatoes, lettuce, and carrots in the coming planti
maw [93]

Answer:

For maximum profit, we'll take tomato.

Explanation:

Total = 110 Acres

                               Toamto         Lettuce        carrots

Fertilize                   5                    4                  2

Labour                    4Hr/W            2Hr/W         2Hr/W

Fertilize                  5x+4x+2X=440 it means, x=40.

                              5(40); 4(40) : 2(40)

Labour                    4x+2x+2x= 550 it means, x=68.75

                               4(68.75); 2(68.75); 2(68.75);

Profit                       3000                1400           400

Expenses               475                   297.5          217.5

Differemce of profit  2525            1102.5          232.5

Hence tomatos are best profitable.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. behaving like a free rider

Explanation:

The free-rider problem is an economic problem that arises when an individual (stowaway) tries to receive a benefit from using a good or service but avoids paying for it. It is also known by its name in English, problem of the free rider.

The government tries to address the problems of stowaways through fiscal rules and regulations, especially to prevent the impact on the environment and excessive use of resources. Therefore, stowaways are also known as parasitic consumers, because on many occasions they consume goods and services financed by others, of which they paid nothing.

Examples of the free-rider problem

When there are public goods, such as parks, armed forces, public lighting or police, stowaways take advantage of the fact that it is not possible to exclude them from consumption and refuse to pay for them. This creates a problem of provision since although many consumers value the services they provide, there will be those who use them but do not contribute to their financing.
