By offering more generous unemployment insurance programs, European countries can expect Group of answer choices longer periods

natulia [17]

Answer:

Longer periods of unemployment for their workers.

Explanation:

Unemployment is when people who are willing and able work do not have jobs

Types of unemployment

structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.

Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom

If a government gives generous unemployment insurance programs, there would be less incentive to find jobs because one of the main reasons why people would want to work is to have money. If the government provides generous pay to the unemployed, there would be less motivation to work and unemployment increases

Deal Leasing leased equipment to Hand Company on January 1, 2021. The leased equipment's book value is $420,000 with no estimate

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question. This is a financial lease since the PV of the lease payments represents 97% of the asset's value.

January 1, 2021, equipment leased from Deal leasing

Dr Right of use asset 405,541.20

Cr Lease liability 405,541.20

the right of use asset = PV of lease payments = $60,000 x 6.75902 (PV annuity due, 10%, 10 periods) = $405,541.20

January 1, 2021, first lease payment

Dr Lease liability 60,000

Cr Cash 60,000

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense on leased asset

Dr Depreciation expense 40,554.12

Cr Accumulated depreciation 40,554.12

depreciation expense = $405,541.20 / 10 = $40,554.12

December 31, 2021, interest expense on asset lease

Dr Interest expense 34,554.12

Cr Interest payable 34,554.12

interest expense = ($405,541.20 - $60,000) x 10% = $34,554.12
