Answer:

a. $700,000.

Explanation:

20,000,000 x 35% = 7,000,000

purchase cost:          7,000,000

nor goodwill or excess of value should be recognized.

But, if the face value is 15,000,000 then:

15,000,000 x 35% =  5,250,000

we recognize a goodwill of 1,750,000

which will be amortized over 5 year thus:

1,750,000 / 5 = 350,000

For the income of Frenton it will recognize the proportion of the net income and subtract the amortization on the goodwill.

3,000,000 x 35% =   1,050,000

amortization        <u>       (350,000)  </u>

<em>income from Frenton  700,000</em>

The table below reports the total population in a country and the number of people in different groups as below:Total population
weqwewe [10]

The unemployment rate in this population is 12%

First of all we have to find the total labour force in this country

Children less than 18 + people in the military + people in jail + retirees + marginally attached workers + full time students

= 50million + 15million + 30 million + 10 million + 30 million + 20

= 155 million

Labor force = 280million - 155 million

= 125 million

In this population those working full time and part time are the number of those that are employed.

= 30 million + 80 million

= 110 million

The unemployed = 125 million - 110 million

= 15million

The unemployment rate =

\frac{Unemployed}{LaborForce} \\=\frac{15}{125}

= 0.12

The unemployment rate = 12%
