Answer:
frictional unemployment created by sectoral shifts.
Explanation:
This unemployment is generated because the information between vacancies for the labor force is imperfect. People study and prepare to be dental hygienists or bookbinders without information for the total amount of vacancies that will occur. This frictional unemployment will decrease once the labor force adjust for the demand changes in the jobs. Because the shortage, the salaries for dental hygienists will increase and more people will start studies for dental hygienists. The opposite will occur with the bookbinders job, the decrease in the demand will lower the wages and less people will dive into.
Answer: 2%
Explanation:
As the coupon payments are semi-annual, you need to convert the other measures to semi-annual measures as well.
Coupon rate = 6%/2 = 3% per semi annum
Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000 which is par value = $30
Time to maturity = 12 * 2 = 24 semi annual periods
Price is still the same = $1,189.14
You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for the Yield:
Number of periods = 24
Payment = $30
PV = 1,189.14
FV is par value of $1,000
Periodic rate is 0.019999
= 2%

Answer:
A. 600
B. 0
C. 0
D. -1100
E. -1000
Explanation:
For part A you are asked to find the change in GDP with the addition of paying a babysitter $600. The GDP beforehand was the total income from both Vinny and Sandra which is $1200 + $1000 = $2200. For these questions, you are being asked to find a change in GDP which would simply be the addition of $600. Similiary, for part B there is no change in GDP because they do not pay Sandra's mother, so the change in GDP is 0. For part C, since the payments are not reported, there is no change in GDP. Part C can be thought of as a reference to the shadow market and GDP from the shadow market is not recorded. Part D has a negative 1100 because they each go back to work part-time, Vinnie earning $500 per week and Sandra earning $600. The change in GDP would be negative because they are losing 1100 in order to care for a new child. For part E, Vinnie gives up all his income which would normally amount to $1000 per week. The change in GDP is therefore negative.
