Answer:
The answer is: The unemployment rate will increase
Explanation:
To calculate unemployment rate we use the following formula:
Unemployment Rate = Number of Unemployed People / Labor Force (unemployed + employed people)
To be considered unemployed, a person must be without a job, but actively looking for one.
The unemployment rate (UR) for Xenia would be:
UR = unemployed / (unemployed + part time workers + full time workers)
UR = 500 / 7,000 = 7.14%
Currently there are 2,000 people that are not considered unemployed since they are not working but they aren't looking for a job either. For example, if 500 of those would start looking for job and became unemployed, the new unemployment rate (UR) would be: 1000 / 7,500 = 13.33%.
So if more people start looking for a job, the unemployment rate will increase.
Answer: the options are listed below.
A. 18.45%
B. 17.67%
C. 23%
D. 19.76%
The correct option is D. 19.76%.
Explanation:
σ2p = (0.402)(0.352) + (0.602)(0.15)2 + (2)(0.4)(0.6)(0.35)(0.15)(0.45)
σ2p = 0.039046
σp = 19.76%
Answer:
$9,600,000
Explanation:
The computation of the projected operating cash flow is given below:
= EBIT × (1 - tax rate) + depreciation expense
where
EBIT should be
= $20,000,000 - $8,000,000 - $6,000,000
= $6,000,000
Now the operating cash flow should be
= $6,000,000 × (1 - 0.40) + $6,000,000
= $3,600,000 + $6,000,000
= $9,600,000
Insurance is a coverage that assesses the risk of a certain item/person. If that item/person is in good condition, your insurance will be lower because it's less likely it'll get damaged.
This is why if you have a bad driving history, your car insurance is high (as there is a high risk).
If you were to instal an alarm, live in a safe neighbourhood or choose not to install a swimming pool you would actually reduce your insurance.
If you have an alarm, you are less likely to have stuff stolen (safer = less risk).
Living in a safe neighbourhood is safer = less risk.
Not installing a pool means your property remains the same value (putting a pool could increase it), higher risk of someone drowning in the pool, or hurting themselves. So by not building the pool, you'll have a safer environment = less risk.
If you build your house in a floodplain, the chance of your house getting damages by a flood is very very high, so you will have to pay more as there is an increased risk.
