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%

Answer:

d.​regardless of what Ocean knew or could have discovered.

Explanation:

The uniform commercial code are a set of rules that govern transactions involving sale of goods. One of such rules is the implied warranty of merchantability.

When goods are sold there is an implied warranty that the item will perform up to a particular level.

For example if one buys a television not is expected that the television will work. If it does not come on, implied warranty has been breached.

So in this case regardless of what Ocean knew or could have discovered, selling defective goods is a breach of implied warranty of merchantability.

makkiz [27]

Question Completion:

ANSWER CHOICES

A.  operating with decreasing returns to scale

B.  a natural monopoly

C.  a legal monopoly

D.  monopolistically competitive

E.  productively efficient

Answer:

Based on this data, the market for product Z is:

A. operating with decreasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

For the Average Revenue (Price) to equal the Average Total Cost (ATC) and enable the firms operating in the market to break-even, the firms must increase their production units from 2 million to 3.5 million units.  The conclusion that the market for product Z is operating with decreasing returns to scale for a single supplier is because it will take a 75% increase in production for the average total cost to fall from $7 to $5 for the single producer.  In other words, the percentage increase in production does not result in a proportionate decrease in average total cost.

Kathleen is considering expanding her dress shop. If interest rates rise she is Group of answer choices less likely to expand. T
Karolina [17]

Answer:

<u><em>Less likely to expand.</em></u>

Explanation:

When ever interest rates rise in an economy, the soul purpose of that is to control inflation by influencing the people to save more and consume/spend less.

Hence, when the interest rates will rise, Kathleen will be moving away from the expansion process as she will have to borrow the money at more cost than before, hence increasing the risk of return from the expansion process. Hence this will lead to the demand for loan-able funds to slope downwards.

Hope this helps you. Good Luck.
