Answer:
8.33%
Explanation:
The computation of the unemployment rate is shown below;
Before computing it, first we have to determine the labor force which is
As we know that
Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Total non-institutionalized adult population
75% = Labor force ÷ 4,000,000
So, the labor force is
= 4,0000,000 × 0.75
= 3,000,000
Now unemployment rate is
= Unemployed people ÷ Labor force
= 250,000 ÷ 3,000,000
= 8.33%

Question:
Eagle Life Insurance Company pays its employees $.30 per mile for driving their personal automobiles to and from work. The company reimburses each employee who rides the bus $100 a month for the cost of a pass. Tom, in his Mazda 2-seat Roadster, collected $100 for his automobile mileage, and Mason received $100 as reimbursement for the cost of a bus pass.
a. What are the effects of the $100 reimbursement on Tom's and Mason's gross income?
b. Assume that Tom and Mason are in the 24% marginal tax bracket and the actual before-tax cost for Tom to drive to and from work is $0.30 per mile. What are Tom's and Mason's after-tax costs of commuting to and from work?
Explanation:
a.
For Tom:
He is required to include the $100 in gross income therefore, he would have to pay after-tax cost on the reimbursement.
For Mason:
He is not required to include the $100 in gross income due to qualified transportation fringe.
b.
For Tom:
Marginal tax = 24%
The after-tax cost of commuting = 0.24*$100 = $24
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
For Mason:
The after-tax cost of commuting = $0
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
Answer:
b. Allow the parties to rescind the contract
Explanation:
Flo enters into a contract with Global Shipping Ltd. to insure and ship a painting from France to the United States at a certain amount mentioned in the contract. However, Global Shipping Ltd. makes a mistake in calculating the costs. As a result, a contract price is equal to the amount that is $1,000 less than the true cost. Most likely, a court would allow the parties to rescind the contract.
Option b. is correct.
Answer:
$4,100
Explanation:
In this question ,we apply the income statement equation
Opening stock + Purchase + Gross profit = Sales + Closing stock
$4,500 + $17,000 + $11,600 = $29,000 + Closing stock
$33,100 = $29,000 + Closing stock
So, the closing stock would be
= $33,100 - $29,000
= $4,100
The gross profit is computed below:
= Sales × gross profit percentage
= $29,000 × 40%
= $11,600
