Answer:

Structurally.

Explanation:

Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;

1. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).

2. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).

3. Structural unemployment rate (SU).

Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.

In this scenario, Arthur chooses not to accept a minimum wage job offer but rather chose to continue looking for a better job.

Hence, Arthur is structurally unemployed.

Purple Rose Corporation reported pretax book income of $500,000.
Vikentia [17]

Answer: $68,000

Explanation:

Let us assume that we are given a tax rate of 34% to use in computing the question. Therefore, Purple Rose's current income tax expense or benefit will be:

Pre-tax book income = $500,000

Less: Tax depreciation = $300,000

Net Income = $500,000 - $300,000 = $200,000

Current income tax expenses at 34% will then be:

= 34% × Net income

= 34/100 × $200,000

= $68,000

On January 1, 2020, Sheffield Corp. issued ten-year bonds with a face amount of $4500000 and a stated interest rate of 8% payabl
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $3,704,040

Explanation:

The issue/ selling price of a bond is calculated by the formula:

= Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value

The coupon payments will be an annuity and in cash terms are:

= 8% * 4,500,000

= $360,000

Selling price:

= (360,000 * Present value of an ordinary annuity factor, 11%, 10 periods) + (4,500,000 * Present value discount factor, 11%, 10 periods)

= (360,000 * 5.889) + (4,500,000 * 0.352)

= $3,704,040

A firm agreed to pay its workers ​$2525 an hour in 2016 and ​$4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
