Answer:

a) 10 percent

Explanation:

Unemployment is when workers are willing bro work and unable to find work.

Unemployment brate is a ratio of unemployed workers to the total civilian population.

We only consider workers that are willing to work as being unemployed

So willing workers that are unemployed= 1 million

Employed workers= 9 million

Civilian population = unemployed+ employed

Civilian population= 9+1= 10

Unemployment rate= Unemployed/ Civilian population

Unemployment rate= 1/10= 0.1= 10%

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Overhead= $6,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Job 403:

Direct material=  $40,000

Total manufacturing costs = $50,000

(direct labor + allocated overhead)= $10,000

<u>We know that overhead is 50% higher than direct labor. In 100%, direct labor would de 40% and overhead 60%.</u>

direct labor=10,000*0.4= $4,000

Overhead= 10,000*0.6= $6,000

Consider a basket of consumer goods. The basket of goods costs $72.00 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs 224.0
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

4.5 and 9

Explanation:

Basket of goods in US=$72.00

Basket of goods in Mexico=224.00 pesos

Nominal exchange rate= 14.00 pesos per dollar

Real Exchange Rate = (Nominal Exchange Rate x Price of the Foreign Basket) / Price of the Domestic Basket

=(14.00 pesos ×$72.00) / 224.00 pesos

=1,008/224.00

=4.5

Nominal exchange rate increased from 14.00pesos per dollar to 28.00 pesos per dollar

Real Exchange Rate = (Nominal Exchange Rate x Price of the Foreign Basket) / Price of the Domestic Basket

=(28.00×$72.00)/224.00 pesos

=2,016/224

=9

Consider a basket of consumer goods. The basket of goods costs $72.00 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs 224.00 pesos in Mexico. The nominal exchange rate is 14.00 pesos per dollar. The real exchange rate between U.S. and Mexican baskets of goods is 4.5 baskets of Mexican goods per basket of U.S. goods. Now suppose the nominal exchange rate increases from 14.00 pesos per dollar to 28.00 pesos per dollar. If the prices of the basket remain unchanged in both the United States and Mexico, the real exchange rate between the U.S. and Mexican baskets of goods will 9 to baskets of Mexican goods per basket of U.S. goods.
