Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the official unemployment rate is shown below:

Official unemployment rate is

= Unemployed workers ÷ (Unemployed + employed) × 100

= 13,863,000 ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000) × 100

= 9.05%

Now for the U-4 is

= (Unemployed workers + discouraged workers) ÷ (Unemployed + employed + discouraged workers) × 100

= (13,863,000 + $993,000) ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000 + $993,000) × 100

= 9.64%

Therefore for exclduing the discouraged workers it may cause the offical rate to understate the underemployment true extent

Answer:

C, the board of directors of IFS

Explanation:

The board of the IFS is ultimately responsible for the corporate climate that resulted in the use of substandard ingredients in the meals meant for the troops.

This is because the directors are the ones at the helm of affairs and they decide what happens in the IFS. This means that at least one of the directors is aware of the use of substandard ingredients . It can be said that if one knows, all other know. This phrase convieniently indicts the directors.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Effect on income= $68,580 increase

Explanation:

Because it is a special order, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs. Only the variable ones.

First, we need to calculate the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 46.1 + 8.8 + 1.8 + 1.3

Unitary cost= $58

Now, the effect on the income of accepting the offer:

Effect on income= 2,700*(83.4 - 58)

Effect on income= $68,580 increase
