Answer:

increases natural rate of unemployment

extra financial benefits for the unemployed

a large number of young people entering the labor force

an increase in union membership

Decreases natural rate of unemployment

reducing workers' collective bargaining rights

Explanation:

natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy

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.  

Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase

An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment

a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment

A company had beginning assets and liabilities were Rs. 100,000 and Rs. 50,000 respectively.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: Rs. 120,000

Explanation:

At the end of the year, both assets and liabilities had doubled. New asset and liability figures are therefore:

Assets = Rs. 200,000

Liabilities = Rs. 100,000

Net income is part of equity and as there is no equity, net income must be the entire equity.

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

200,000 = Equity + 100,000

Equity = 200,000 - 100,000

= Rs. 100,000

From this Net income, dividends were distributed to the tune of Rs. 20,000. This should be added back to see the full figure.

= 100,000 + 20,000

= Rs. 120,000

In Mordica Company, total materials costs are $35,500, and total conversion costs are $54,000. Equivalent units of production ar
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Material Cost per unit = Total Material Cost  ÷  Equivalent units of production

                                    =  $35,500 ÷ 10,000  units

                                    = $3.55

Conversion Cost per unit = Total conversion cost ÷  Equivalent units of production

                                          =  $54,000 ÷ 12,000  units

                                          = $4.5

Total Manufacturing cost per unit = Material cost per unit + conversion cost per unit

                                                        = 3.55 + 4.5

                                                        = $8.05

Answer:

3.34 times

Explanation:

Ginger incorporation has a market valu of equity of $710,000

The debt is $227,800

Cash is $45,600

EBIT is $102,800

The first step is to find the enterprise value

= market capitalization + debt -cash

= $710,000 +$227,800 - $45,600

= $937,800-$45,600

= $892,200

The EBITDA can be calculated as follows

= EBIT + depreciation and amortization

= $102,800 + $164,600

= $267,400

Therefore the enterprise value-EBITDA can be calculated as follows

= 892,200/267,400

= 3.34 times
