Answer:

natural rate of unemployment 3.6%

labour force participation rate 69.7%

Explanation:

natural\ rate\ of\ unemployment = \frac{no\ of\ unemployed}{total\ labor\ force} * 100

from the data given in the question we have

employed = 33.86 million = 33860000

unemployed = 1.27 million = 1270000

therefore we have natural rate of unemployment

=\frac{1270000}{33860000} * 100 = 3.6%

labour force participation rate is calculated as

labour force participation rate = \frac{labour\ force}{adult\ population}

labor force = employed + unemployed labor = 33.86 +1.27 = 35.13 million

= 35130000 / 50400000 = 69.7%

Xia Co. currently buys a component part for $5 per unit. Xia believes that making the part would require $2.25 per unit of direc
belka [17]

Answer:

Xia Co.

1-a. The relevant costs for Xia Co. to make or buy the part:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost   $4.00

1-b. Xia should make the part.  It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy.  It should therefore, make the component.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of buying component = $5

Cost of making component:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost    $4.00

b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00.  The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost.  It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken.  By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.

Why do neoclassical economists tend to put relatively more emphasis on long-term growth than on fighting recession?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. standard of living is ultimately determined by long-term growth.

Explanation:

The long-term path for economic growth is a fundamental issue of the study of the economy. The increase in the GDP of a country is usually considered as an increase in the standard of living of its inhabitants. Over long periods of time, even small annual growth rates, can have a significant effect. Thanks to its conjugation with other factors.

An annual growth rate of 2.5% would lead to GDP doubling over a period of 30 years. While an annual growth rate of 8%, it would lead to the same phenomenon in a period of only 10 years. Example: Some countries like Asian tigers. When a population increases to see improvements in living standards, GDP has to grow faster than that population. This analysis seeks to understand why there are very different rates of economic growth in some regions of the world.
