Explanation: Based on the description of Greg's and Joyce's mortgage loan, the key term is the adjustable nature of the loan used to finance the mortgage. Being adjustable simply means not fixated. Hence, the interest on the loan is bound to change throughout the entire period of the loan. This type of mortgage loans are called ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE or FLOATING mortgage.

Answer: 20.86%
Explanation: From the question, the credit term is 2/10, n/45. Which means that the customer gets a 2% discount if payment is made within 10 days. But the customer did not make use of this offer. The equivalent annual Interest lost on the amount of purchases is :
365/ (45-10) * 0.02 = 365/35*2%
= 0.20857 *100= 20.86%
This is calculated using 365 days in a year.
Answer and Explanation:
Unemployment rate = (Unemployed/Labor force)*100
Labor Force Participation Rate = (Labor force/Adult population)*100
Labor force = number of unemployed + number of employed
Adult population = employed + unemployed + not in the labor force
When homemakers are included in the labor force as employed then the unemployment rate would go down, labor force would increase and so the labor force participation rate would increase.
The unemployment rate would decrease and the labor force participation rate would increase.
