Answer:
(a) How this episode is likely to affect the economic well-being of people in the country
In the short-run, there will be an increase in labor demanded, increasing jobs to build homes and repair the damage caused by the earthquake. In the long-run, things will begin to go back to normal.
(b) How this episode is likely to affect the economy’s measured GDP
In this case, GDP measurements will shift causing less of an input in private spending and an increase in government spending due to subsidies to increase home-building.
Answer:
accrued interest owed at the end of the year = $400 x interest rate x 6/12 months
the interest rate was not given, but we can assume that it was 5% just as an example:
total accrued interest expense = $400 x 5% x 6/12 = $10
the journal entry would be
December 31, 2021
Dr Interest expense 10 million
Cr Interest payable 10 million
Suppose that you are available to go to work but have not looked for a job for at least the last four weeks because you believe that there aren't any jobs available. You would be counted as<u> </u> <u>discouraged worke</u>r
Explanation:
<u>Suppose that you are available to go to work but have not looked for a job for at least the last four weeks because you believe that there aren't any jobs available. You would be counted as</u>
A <u>discouraged worke</u>r is an individual who has given up looking for employment even though they are perfectly eligible to take up a job but to the repeated failure in finding a job they have then ceased their search for finding an employment.
Discouraged workers have stopped looking for employment opportunities because they feel that their is no job that suits their qualifications
Since they have stopped searching they are not included in the labor force hence when we see the statistics for unemployment these people are not included there also .So they are called <u>Discouraged Workers</u>
<u> The correct formula for calculating the unemployment rate</u>
<u>(</u>
<u> D) Neither formula is used to calculate the unemployment rate</u>
The formula for Unemployment rate is
==> U=Unemployed People/Labor force*100

Answer:
=E7*C2/2
Explanation:
The interest expense will be the carrying value of the bond times the effective interest rate.
On cell C8 we have the interest expense
On E7 we have the carrying value which is the outstanding balance.
Then, on C2 we got the effective rate
As this is an annual formula, we must divide by two to convert to semiannual rate.
