Answer:
The actual unemployment rate was higher during the recession of 1990−1991, while cyclical unemployment was higher in 2001.
Explanation:
Given data in the question
In the year 1990-1991
The natural rate of unemployment = 5.9%
The rate of the actual unemployment = 7.0%
In the year 2001
The natural rate of unemployment = 4.8%
The actual unemployment rate = 6.0%
As we can see that
The actual unemployment is high in the year 1990-1991 i.e 7.0% as compare to the year 2001 i.e 6.0%
While the cyclical unemployment rate is high in 2001 i.e 1.2% (6.0 - 4.8%) as compare to the year 1990-1191 i.e 1.1% (7.0% - 5.9%)
Answer:
D. -4/5
Explanation:
Given that
Wage rate = $20 per hour
Cost of capital = $25 per hour
Recall that,
Slope of isocost = -(w/r)
Where,
W = wage rate
r = rental cost of capital.
Thus,
Slope of isocost curve
= -(20/25)
= -0.8 or -4/5
Note that, the negative of the ratio is the price of the two inputs. Also isocost is a line showing the various combinations of inputs which cost the same amount.
Answer:
The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.
Explanation:
Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.
Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.
Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.
Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.
Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).
However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.
Answer:
The demand for Jim’s product is elastic
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.
We proceed as follows;
The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is
e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]
Here, Q2 = 6000
Q1 = 8000
P2 = $250
P1 = $200
e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]
e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]
e = - 1.3
That means absolute value of e is 1.3.
So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.
