Answer:
structurally unemployed.
Explanation:
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
1. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
2. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
3. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.
This ultimately implies that, it describes a situation where an individual isn't able to secure a job as a result of insufficient number of jobs matching their qualifications, thus limiting their opportunities.
In this scenario, Monica Smith was unemployed because the steel company, where she worked, closed and moved overseas to a foreign country. Other steel companies have also closed. Her skills are not transferable to another industry and she is unable to get a job.
Hence, she would be classified as structurally unemployed.
Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.

Answer:
b. $0.40 per unit and $8,000
Explanation:
High low method separates the fixed cost and variable cost using net of Highest activity level and Lowest activity level and net of their relevant costs.
According to High low method
Variable cost per unit = ( Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity - Lowest activity )
Variable cost per unit = ( $120,000 - $74,000 ) / ( 280,000 - 165,000 )
Variable cost per unit = $46,000 / 115,000
Variable cost per unit = $0.4
Fixed operating cost = Total cost - Total Variable cost = $120,000 - ( 280,000 x $0.4 ) = $8,000
