Among those not working, the most recent job search activity for 3.20 million happened less than two weeks ago, while 1.72 million most recently looked for work between two and four weeks ago. An additional 0.86 million most recently looked for work five weeks ago, the remaining 9.81 million who don't have jobs have not looked for work in the past six weeks.

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%

The marginal social benefit received from pollution is equal to its marginal social cost in the market for highly polished glass
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

. firms in the market produce the socially optimal level of pollution

Explanation:

Externality is when the activities of economic agents affect third parties not involved in production or consumption.

Negative externality is when the marginal social cost is greater than the marginal social benefit. In this case, firms in the market produce too much pollution and society's well-being can be improved if the quantity of pollution decreases.

Postive externality is when the marginal social benefit is greater than the marginal social cost. In this case, firms in the market produce too little pollution.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer is <u>KS 1.01/EB</u>.

Explanation:

This is an example of a cross rate.

Cross rate refers to an exchange rate between two currencies that is calculated based on the exchange rate of each of the two currencies to a third currency.

For this question, the cross rate KS/EB will be estimated by reference the US dollar which is third currency. This can be calculated by simply dividing the KS 1.4/$ by the E B1.39/$ as follows:

KS/EB = 1.4 / 1.39 = 1.01

That is, the answer is <u>KS 1.01/EB</u>.

Consider the following hypothetical facts about Mexico: The peso recently lost over 40% of its value relative to the dollar. Ove
UNO [17]

Answer:

The annualized return of the investment is R=0.286 or 28.6%.

Explanation:

The expected value takes into account all the possible outcomes and their probabilities. In this case, there are only 2 possible outcomes:

1) Mexican government lose control of the economy. Probability: 25%.

2) The Mexican government don't lose contol of the economy. Probability: 75%

In the Case 1, the local stock market will fall by 10% and the peso will lose 20%.

The return in dollars can be calculated as:

R=(1+\Delta SM)/(1-\Delta P)-1=(1-0.10)/(1+0.2)-1\\\\R=0.90/1.20-1=0.75-1=-0.25

being ΔSM the return of the stock market and ΔP the apreciation of the peso.

For the Case 2, we have that the local stock market will rise by 5% and the peso will appreciate by 5%.

The return in this case is

R=(1+\Delta SM)/(1-\Delta P)-1=(1+0.05)/(1-0.10)-1\\\\R=1.05/0.90-1=1.17-1=0.17

Then, the expected value is:

E(R)=\sum p_iR_i=p_1R_1+p_2R_2=0.25*(-0.25)+0.75*(0.17)\\\\ E(X)=-0.0625+0.1275=0.065

The expected dollar return in the 90 days is R=0.065.

If we annualized, the annual rate of return of this investment is:

R_a=(1+R)^{N/n}-1=1.065^{360/90}-1\\\\R_a=1.065^4-1=1.286-1=0.286
