Answer:

a. Labour Force = 70 people

Labour Force Participation Rate = 87.5%

b. Unemployed = 60 people

Unemployed Rate = 85.7 %

c. Total Employment

By Household Survey = 60 people

By Establishment Survey = 65 people

Explanation:

Given

Total number of People = 100

Full time = 25

Part time = 20

2 part time jobs = 5

Looking for job = 10

Not looking for job = 10

Business owners = 10

Retired = 10

Children = 10

a.

Labour Force = Total people in the economy - (Retired + Children + Not looking for job)

Labour Force = 100 - (10 + 10 + 10)

Labour Force = 100 - 30

Labour Force = 70 People

Labour Force Participation Rate is calculated by dividing the number of people actively participating in the labor force by the total number of people eligible to participate in the labor force

Number of active participant = Labour Force = 70

Number of eligible participants = 70 + 10 (discourage workers not looking for job)

Number of eligible participants = 80

Labour Force Participation Rate = 70/80

Labour Force Participation Rate = 0.875

Labour Force Participation Rate = 87.5%

b.

Unemployed People = Labour Force - 10 (people looking for job)

Unemployed People = 70 - 10

Unemployed People = 60 people

Unemployed Rate = Unemployed People/ Labour Force

Unemployed Rate = 60/70

Unemployed Rate = 0.857

Unemployed Rate = 85.7%

c.

Total Employment

I. Using Household Survey

Here, the number of people with source of income is counted

Total = Full-time +. Part time + 2 part time jobs + business owners

Total = 25 + 20 + 5 + 10

Total = 60 people

Ii. Using Establishment Survey

Here the number of jobs is counted. So, those with 2 part time job owners are counted as 5 * 2 jobs = 10

Total = Full-time +. Part time + 2 part time jobs + business owners

Total = 25 + 20 + 10 + 10

Total = 65 People

____________the market school aruges that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange r
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Efficient market school.

Explanation:

Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.

The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis that states that asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market.

Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.

<em>Hence, according to the efficient market school it would be a waste of time investing in exchange rate forecasting services because all the information about an asset or security is already factored into their prices and as a result of the randomness of the market. </em>

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Instead of joining groups to learn more about the two fields, Janice should job shadow in the medical career and also her family members on the job. By job shadowing, she would get a better feel for what the work environment and everyday life would be like in that career instead of just what some groups teach about the different fields. Medical and farming are two large career fields with any different smaller job opportunities within.

Suppose the supply and demand for a certain textbook are given by ​supply: p equals one fourth q squared comma ​demand: p equals
Llana [10]

Answer:

the demand quantity and the supply quantity at a price of ​$15 is 8 units

Explanation:

Supply, P = 1/4 Q²

Demand, P = - 1/4 Q²+30

If P = 15

Quantity Demanded will be 15 = -0.25Q²+30;

if we move 30 across the equality sign.

Therefore -0.25Q²=-15; divide both sides by -0.25;

Q² = 60, Q = 7.746, approximately 8 units

Quantity Supplied will be 15 =  1/4 Q², dividing both sides by 1/4

Q² = 60, Q = 7.746, approximately 8.
