types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.

Answer:
$814.10
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now
Using this formula
Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value
Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t
Let plug in the formula
Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)
Bond price= $814.10
Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10
Answer:
Increase of 130 million
Explanation:
In this question, we are looking to evaluate what has happened to change in deferred tax assets. We proceed as follows;
Firstly, we calculate the current tax.
Mathematically = 40% of 400 million = 40/100 * 400 million = 160 million
Now, as we can see in the question, a decrease in deferred tax asset resulted in an increase in tax expense to a tune of $50 million
This brings the total tax expense to 160 million + 50 million = 210 million
We can see from the question that the company has only recognized a tax expense of $80 million.
This means that the change in deferred tax asset was an increase of 210 million- 80 million = $130 million
Answer:
current market price = $953.29
Explanation:
the market price of the bond = present value of the face value + present value of coupon payments
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.865%)¹⁸ = $505.31
PV of coupon payments = $35 x 12.79935 (PV annuity factor, 3.865%, 18 periods) = $447.98
current market price = $505.31 + $447.98 = $953.29
Answer:
c. A new technology such as the Internet has just been introduced, and it increases investment opportunities.
Explanation:
Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and expected inflation rate.
If expected inflation rate falls, the nominal interest rate also falls.
During a recession, people are more unwilling to borrow funds ,this pushes interest rate down.
If investment opportunities increases, the demand for funds would increase and nominal interest rate would increase too.
