Answer:

The answers are:

A) 25.23 million people

B) 70.28%

C) 4.92 million people

D) 19.50%

Explanation:

Laborland's total labor force can be calculated by adding those who are employed and those who are unemployed but were searching for a job during the last month.

  • 4.6 million (part-time employed) + 15.71 million (full-time employed) + 3.2 million (looked for a job two weeks ago) + 1.72 million (looked for a job between two and four weeks ago) = 25.23 million people

Laborland's labor force participation rate can be calculated by dividing the labor force by the total population.

  • (25.23 million / 35.9 million) x 100% = 70.28%

Laborland's total unemployed can be calculated by adding the number of people without a job that searched for a job during the last month.

  • 3.2 million + 1.72 million = 4.92 million people

Laborland's unemployment rate can be calculated by dividing the total number of unemployed people by the total work force.

  • (4.92 million / 25.23 million) x 100% = 19.50%

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Acclaim Inc.

                                         Basic Trophies     Deluxe Trophies

Budgeted unit cost:

a. using single-plant o/h rate   $17.60                  $28.80

b. using departmental rates    $17.42                  $29.16

c. using ABC                            $18.26                  $27.48

d. They show different costs because the overhead rates are based on different parameters.

I recommend ABC system.  It is more fair because the overhead rates are based on product line's activity usage instead of an arbitrary figure.
