Answer:
18.60%
Explanation:
Total labor force = $8 million + $35 million = $43 million
Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed/Labor force)*100
Unemployment Rate = $8 million/$43 million * 100
Unemployment Rate = 0.1860465 * 100
Unemployment Rate = 18.60%
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
The utility maximization point for a consumer is as follows:

It is given that,
price of Pepsi(x) = $1 per can
price of a hamburger(y) = $2
Marginal utility from Pepsi = 4
Marginal utility from hamburgers = 6
Hence,

4 > 3
Therefore, it can be seen that the consumer's utility is not maximized at this point.
Law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the consumer consumes more and more quantity of goods then as a result the utility obtained from the consumption goes on diminishing.
So, there is a need to increase the quantity of Pepsi consumed and reducing the quantity of hamburgers consumed.
Answer:
$16,440
Explanation:
If Bruce is able to work 600 hours per year, his salary will be $3,600 (= $6 x 600), but he will lose $2,160 (= $3,600 x 60%) of welfare stipend.
His total welfare stipend is $15,000 if he is not able to work during the year.
Bruce's total income = $15,000 + $3,600 - $2,160 = $16,440
Answer:
-21%
Explanation:
Initial share price = $50
Share price after 1 year = $46
net return = (200 x $46) - $10,000 - ($5,000 x 5%) = $9,200 - $10,000 - $250 = -$1,050
rate of return of margined position = -$1,050 / $5,000 = -0.21 = -21%
when you operate on the margin, your earnings can increase or decrease dramatically. In this case, an 8% price decrease resulted in a 215 lose.
