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%

Wanda takes $3,000 from her savings account that pays 5 percent interest per year and uses the funds to purchase a computer for
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$1,150

Explanation:

Implicit rental rate refers to the cost that a company incurred by spending money as opposed to what that money could earn if it were invested in something else. Therefore since in a year the computer was worth $1000 less and Wanda also lost out on the 5% that the savings account would have generated which would be $150. Then her total cost is that of $1,150

If in the past Congress had taken additional actions to make saving more rewarding, then today it is likely that the equilibrium
posledela

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In this question, we are looking at what would be the later effect of the Congress taking steps to make sure that there is an increase in the amount of returns on savings for example, say the amount of interest rate on saved money is increased.

What will happen in this case is that the equilibrium interest rate would be lower while the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds will be higher. What he meant by the equilibrium interest rate is that it is the interest rate at which the amount of money demanded is equal to the amount of money supplied.

Due to the legislation by congress, it is expected that more money would be supplied in terms of bank deposits as people would want to make a higher profit off the legislation. The effect of this is that the equilibrium interest rate will be lower as its balance would have been upset my the availability of more deposits and less demand.

We also say that the equilibrium level of loanable funds will be higher. This is because there would be more money present in the vaults of the bank as savings have been encouraged and people are expected to fill the bank with more money. This thus means the bank has more money to throw around via loans as there is an increase in the amount of savings. This surely would drive up the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds

Which common database challenge is illustrated by a person receiving multiple copies of an l.l. bean catalog, each addressed to
dangina [55]
<span>data inconsistency Let's look at the available options and see what makes or does not make sense. data normalization * Data normalization is the process of having each piece of data in the database entered only once. If you need the same data element multiple times, you put the data element into a table and each time you need that element, you make a reference to that table which holds the only copy of that piece of data. This process is used to simplify making changes to that data element. If the element changes, you make the change to a single piece of data in the database and that change is reflected everywhere else in the database that uses that element. That's not the issue with this problem, so it's a bad choice. data accuracy * Close, but not quite. The data in the database is accurate and does have the correct address and a correct variant of the person's name. So this isn't the right choice either. data redundancy * This is a problem that addressed by data normalization. And just like data normalization doesn't address this question's problem, neither does this address it. So another bad choice. data inconsistency * BINGO! The root issue is that minor variations in the format of a name result in what the database considers to be an unique name. And hence an unique person. This is the correct choice. data duplication * Another name for redundancy. So another bad choice.</span>
