Answer:

Structurally unemployed

Explanation:

Structural unemployment occurs due to changes in economic situations, or a mismatch of available jobs and available skills. Structural unemployment takes a long time to resolve as it may involve retraining of individuals.  Advance in technology has contributed most to this form of unemployment as machines and robots are replacing human beings.

For Brent, the employer has shifted to Asia due to economic benefits available there.  Probably, other firms in that industry have relocated, that's why Brent is unable to find another job.  Brent's skills do not match the currently available positions in his town.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$4,089 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Data provided

Standard variable rate = $9.20

Direct labor hours = 1,160

Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $14,761

The computation of variable overhead rate variance is shown below:-

Variable overhead rate variance = (Standard variable rate - (Variable manufacturing overhead costs ÷ Direct labor hours)) × Direct labor hours

= ($9.20 - ($14,761 ÷ 1,160) × 1,160

= ($9.20 - $12.725) × 1160

= $4,089 Unfavorable

Therefore for computing the variable overhead rate variance we simply applied the above formula.

A taxable bond has a yield of 8%, and a municipal bond has a yield of 6%. At what tax bracket, would you be indifferent between
Nataliya [291]

Answer: 25%

Explanation:

Municipal bonds are tax-free which means that the tax bracket that would make you indifferent between the 2 bonds would be the one that brings the after-tax yield on the taxable bond to the same yield as the Municipal bond.

Assume this tax rate to be x.

8% * ( 1 - x) = 6%

8% - 0.08x = 6%

0.08x = 8% - 6%

x = (8% - 6%) / 0.08

x = 25%

Minimizing Costs For its beef stew, Betty Moore Company uses aluminum containers that have the form of right circular cylinders.
netineya [11]

Answer:

h = 28/πr² or 28/(π((14/π)^⅔))

r = (14/π)^⅓

Explanation:

Given

Let r = radius, h = height of the cylinder

Volume, V =28in³

V = πr²h ----- volume of a cylinder

πr²h = 28 --- make h the subject of formula

h = 28/πr²

Area of the the cylinder is;

A = 2πr² + 2πrh

Substitute 28/πr² for h to get area in terms of radius

A = 2πr² + 2πr(28/πr²)

A = 2πr² + 56/r

Differentiate A with respect to r

dA/dr = 4πr - 56/r²

Set dA/dr to 0 (.....using the least amount of metal)

4πr - 56/r² = 0

(4πr³ - 56)/r² = 0 --- Multiply through by r²

4πr³ - 56 = 0

4πr³ = 56 --- make r the subject of formula

r³ =56/4π

r³ = 14/π

r = (14/π)^⅓

h = 28/πr²

h = 28/(π((14/π)^⅔))
