Answer: a. 24.05 million

b. 66.99%

c. 4.62 million

d. 19.21%

Explanation:

a. Total Labor force is the sum total of people who are employed and those who are actively looking for work. The Bureau of Labor Statistics defines actively looking for work as looking for work int he past 4 weeks.

= Part-time workers + full time workers + those who looked for work in the past 2 weeks + those who looked for work in the past 2 - 4 weeks

= 4.9 million + 14.53 million + 2.90 million + 1.72 million

= 24.05 million

b. labor force participation rate is the percentage of a country's non-institutionalized working age population that are actively looking for work. Its formula = \frac{total labor force}{non-institutionalized working age population} X 100

Laborland's labor force participation rate (%) = \frac{24.05 million }{35.9 million }X 100

= 66.99%

c. Unemployed  People by the standards of the Bureau of Labor Statistics are the people who have looked for work in the past 4 weeks and are still employed. That is  those who looked for work in the past 2 weeks + those who looked for work in the past 2 - 4 weeks.

= 2.90 million + 1.72 million

= 4.62 million

d. Unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that are actively looking for work and are still out of work.

Unemployment rate = \frac{unemployed}{labor force} x 100

= \frac{4.62 million}{ 24.05 million} x 100

=19.21%

Andreyy89

Answer:

a. 14.75%

b. Under priced

Explanation:

The computation for the required rate of return is shown below:

a. Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 6% + 1.25 × (13% - 6%)

= 6% + 1.25 × 7%

= 6% + 8.75%

= 14.75%

b. As the required rate of return comes 14.75% and the required return is 16% so it is under priced as expected return is more than the required return

Compute the yield to maturity of a $100 face value zero-coupon bond that matures in exactly one year and has a current market pr
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Yield to maturity is 1.51%

Explanation:

Zero Coupon rate does not offer any coupon payment and it is issued at deep discount value.

Face value = F = $100

Price = P = $98.50

Year to mature = n = 1 year

Yield to maturity = ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = ( $100 - $98.5 ) / 1 ] / [ ( $100 + $98.5 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = $1.5 / 99.25

Yield to maturity = 0.0151

Yield to maturity = 1.51%

The balance sheet for the partnership of Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria at January 1, 2017 follows. The partners share profits and
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

$115,714

Explanation:

If the partnership's assets were $540,000, and if we assume that there are no liabilities, then:

Nina's capital account should have been 3/10 x $540,000 = $162,000

Pinta's capital account should have been 2/10 x $540,000 = $108,000

Santa Maria's capital account should have been 5/10 x $540,000 = $270,000

If they decided to pay Nina only $135,000 for her partnership stake, then the remaining partnership's assets were $405,000. This means that the partnership's capital account should be divided as follows:

Pinta's capital account should have been 2/7 x $405,000 = $115,714

Santa Maria's capital account should have been 5/7 x $405,000 = $289,286
