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

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The answer is: The ending balance in Finished Goods Inventory is $1,200

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the cost per chair produced, to do this we will find the total cost and divide by the number of chairs produced:

Units produced 100 chairs

Direct materials $10 per unit x 100 = $1,000
Direct labor 15 per unit x 100 = $1,500
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 per unit x 100 = $300
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $2,000

Total costs are $4,800 / 100 chairs = $48 per chair produced

There are 25 chairs left in finished goods inventory (FGI) = 100 - 75 = 25

The ending balance in FGI is = 25 chairs x $48 per chair = $1,200
