Answer:

Rate of interest = 6/60% = 10%

Explanation:

Net rate of bonds after tax will be = Rate of interest X (1 - Tax)

Heflin bond = 6% X (1 - 40%) = 3.6%

Surething Bond = 9% X (1 - 40%) = 5.4%

Since both bonds provide interest and Surething provides more than Heflin

then in order to make both incomparable Surething can decrease the rate of interest to that of Heflin so that Hugh remains indifferent will be 6%

In case there is no tax on Heflin Bond, as Hugh is in 40% marginal tax bracket, then net interest = 6 %

But for Surething Hugh will have to pay tax then after tax value of interest shall be 6% i.e. 6% = 1 - 40%

Rate of interest = 6/60% = 10%

Surething needs to pay Interest @10% on bonds. to make Hugh indifferent of both the bonds.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The answer is option B) Frictional unemployment is inevitable because the economy needs to be lubricated.

Explanation:

Frictional unemployment is different from others in happens as a result of employees seeking out better opportunities. They could leave voluntarily or be fired from their current jobs but its is for a greater good- which is a quest for better economic opportunity.

Frictional unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between job seekers and available jobs in the market.

It also happens due to the natural career progression for an employed staff seeking to transition to a new job, industry, or role.

Frictional unemployment is like a lubricant in the economy because an increase in frictional unemployment means more workers are moving toward better positions.
