Adul population= 157,130,000 + 93,671,000= 250,801,000

Labor force participation rate= 157,130,000/250,801,000= 62.65%

Answer:

See explainations

Explanation:

Total population is sum of employed people plus unemployed people plus people that are not in the labour force, or 148,834,000 + 8,296,000 + 93,671,000 = 250,801,000.

Total adult population is sum of employed people plus unemployed people (assuming that non-adults contribute 100% to those that are not in the labour force), or 148,834,000 + 8,296,000 = 157,130,000.

Total labour force is sum of employed people plus unemployed people, or 157,130,000.

Labor force participation rate is Employed people/Total labour force = 148,834,000/157,130,000 = 94.7%

Unemployment rate is Unemployed people/Total labour force = 8,296,000/157,130,000 = 5.3%

Answer:

The solution as per the given problem is provided below throughout the explanation portion below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Debt issued,

= 120

Pretax earnings,

= 80

Tax,

= 35%

All equity firm,

= $320

Number of common stock,

= 50

(a)

Balance sheet before the debt issue's announcement will be:

<u>Assets </u><u>                                 320</u>

<u>Debt   </u><u>                                    0</u>

<u>Equity  </u><u>                                 320</u>

then,

The total will be "320".

(b)

The per share price will be:

= \frac{Equity}{Number \ of \ common \ stock}

= \frac{320}{50}

= 6.40

or,

After tax, the net income will be:

= EBIT(1-t)

= 80(1-0.35)

= 80\times 0.65

= 52

(c)

The return on equity will be:

= \frac{Net \ income \ after \ taxes}{Value \ of \ equity}

= \frac{52}{320}

= 0.1625

or,

= 16.25 (%)

Andrej [43]

Answer: $297,353.33

Explanation:

In calculating the Opportunity Cost of using that space with the available data, the following formula can be used (notice that APR is a yearly figure and the rent is monthly),

Opportunity cost = Rent per month *12* (1-tax rate) / APR

= $3,431.00 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.35) / 0.09

= 297353.333333

= $297,353.33

$297,353.33 is the opportunity cost of using this space.

Note the method used above is the faster method but if you want to use the other method, first you change the rent to a monthly figure. Then you divide it by the cost of capital to get the present value. Then you multiply by the After tax rate of (1 - tax rate). It's basically the same as the above though.
