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%

Answer: $3,150,000

Explanation:

Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.

Indirect Costs

It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.

Indirect cost per machine hour is;

= 60,000,000/12,000

= $5,000 per hour

With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;

= 200 * 5,000

= $1,000,000

Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000

= $3,150,000
