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%

What are the opportunity costs of going to the gym for a workout rather than studying for an economics test?
NARA [144]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the value of the forfeited benefits as a result of making a decision in a certain way. Decision making involves choosing one item over others. The cost or value of the option not chosen is the opportunity cost. The value of the forfeited option is the opportunity cost.

In choosing to go to the gym, the forgone activity is studying for the economic exam. The benefits associated with studying for the economic test is the opportunity cost. The value attached to the economic test, such as good grades, passing the test,  or any reward arising from studying for the test, is the forfeited benefit and hence the opportunity cost.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The monthly payment will be $434

Explanation:

Price of New car = $21,900

Price of old car exchanged = $2,350

Cash Payment = $850

Amount of Loan = $21,900 - $2,350 - $850

Amount of Loan = A = $18,700

Rate of interest = r = 6% = 0.06 = 0.005 per month

Number of total periods = 12 x 4 = 48

P = $18500 / { [ ( 1 + 0.005 )^48 ] - 1 } / [ 0.005 ( 1 + 0.005)^48 ]

P = $18500 / [ 0.2704891611 / 0.006352446 ]

P = $18500 / 42.58

P = $434.47

ankoles [38]

Answer:

social loafing

Explanation:

Social loafing refers to a psychological phenomenon where people who participate in teams will not try their best in order to achieve the team's goals because he/she believes that other team members will do it, and they will either solve the problem or perform the required task. That way they will benefit from other people's work.

This is not something that only happens in businesses, we all have a classmate that doesn't participate in group assignments because he/she knows that the others will complete it and everyone will be graded equally based on the group's performance.
