Labor Force = Employed persons + Unemployed persons

Labor Force = 24 million + 8 million

Unemployment rate = ( 8 million / 32 million ) x 100 = 25%

Suppose that a monopolist sells a product to men and women. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist would produce 100,00
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Monopolist can charge a higher price from women.

Explanation:

A monopolist is producing 100,000 units of a product.  

The price of the product is $5 per unit.  

The price elasticity of demand for men at this price is -3.5.

The price elasticity for women, on the other hand, is -0.8.

This means that the men have a relatively elastic demand for the product. While on the other hand, women have relatively inelastic demand. This implies that if the price is increased the demand from women will not change by a greater proportion.  

While demand from men can change to a greater proportion because of a change in price.  

In this situation, the firm can charge a higher price from women. This is an example of third-degree price discrimination.

An individual wants to have $95,000 per year to live on when she retires in 30 years. The individual is planning on living for 2
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The amount she would be saving during her working life is  $1,089,64 and the deposit required for each year is $6,624.21

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The amount of income needed for retirement income = P×[1-(1÷(1+r)^n)]÷r

Now,

The Interest rate per annum  =6.00%

The Number of years = 2

The Number of compoundings per annum  = 1

The Interest rate per period ( r)=6.00%      

The period per payment (P)=$ 95,000

The Amount required for retirement income = 95000*[1-(1/(1+6%)^95000]/6% =$1,089,643        

Now,

Required deposit for every year (P)=FVA÷([(1+r)^n-1]÷r)

The Interest rate per annum = 10.00%

The Number of years= 30                                          

The number payments per per annum =1                                       The Interest rate per period ( r)=10.00%

The Number of periods (n)=30

Thus,

The Future value of annuity (FVA) = $1,089,643  

Hence the deposit required for each year is = 1089643/(((1+10%)^30-1)/10%)

= $6,624.21

Kitware Corp. produces and sells kitchen wares. Last year, it produced 7,000 can openers and sold each one for $6. To produce th
lana [24]

Answer:

Average variable cost = $4 per can opener

Explanation:

The total cost is a function of the total fixed cost plus the total variable cost. If the total cost to produce 7000 can openers was $45000 and the total fixed cost was $17000, we can calculate the total variable cost to be,

Total variable cost = Total Cost - Total Fixed Cost

Total Variable cost = 45000  -  17000

Total Variable cost = $28000

The average variable cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the total variable cost incurred divided by the total number of units produced.

Average variable cost = 28000 / 7000

Average variable cost = $4 per can opener
