Answer:

Unemployment rate= 2.78%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

40 million are in the labor force

36 million are employed

2 million are classified as unable to work

1 million are classified as unwilling to work

The unemployment rate is calculated using the population that is employed and the population actively looking for work.

Therefore:

active population= 40 - 2 - 1= 37

Employed= 36

Unemployment rate= unemployed people/ active population or labor force

Unemployment rate= (1,000,000/36,000,000)*100= 2.78%

Answer:

B) As long as the Fed's announcement is credible, workers and firms will reduce their consumption and investment spending, which will reduce aggregate demand and reduce inflation.

If the FED announces that it will increase the federal funds rate, it will increase the interest that banks charge other banks for lending them money in order to  comply with the reserve ratio. This increase would make banks hand out less loans and be more careful in order to reduce their need for overnight funds.

If banks reduce their loans, their capacity for creating money will also be reduced, lowering the consumption level and investment spending of both workers (households) and private firms.
