1 answer:
Answer:
Present value of lease payments is $17720.57
Explanation:
The value of lease payments can be treated as an annuity due as the lease payments qualify the criteria of annuity- the payment amount is constant, is paid after a constant interval of time and the time is definite and known.
So, we will use the formula for the present value of annuity due as the payments are being made at the start of the period. The formula for the present value of an annuity due is attached.
PV of lease = 3600 + 3600 * [ {1 - (1 + 0.17)^-(8-1)} / 0.17 ]
PV of lease = $17720.56848 rounded off to $17720.57

Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
