Answer:

Unemployment rate = 3.6%

Explanation:

Unemployment is the number of people who are willing to work and are actively seeking work but are unable to find it. The unemployment rate is the unemployed / total number of people in the labor force x 100.

In the above scenario, the unemployed is 3 million people. The others are either already employed, unavailable, unwilling or not seeking work.

The labour force comprises of those who are employed and unemployed, that is 80million + 3million = 83 million.

Hence, unemployment rate = (3/83) x 100 = 3.6%

Fixed costs remain the same for a period of time. Variable costs increase or decrease depending on the performance of the company. Examples of fixed costs are rent, taxes, and insurance premiums.

Variable costs are costs that change with changes in quantity. Examples of variable costs include raw materials, parts labor, production materials, handling charges, shipping charges, packaging materials, and credit card fees. In some fiscal documents, the variable cost of production is called the "cost of goods sold."

Christopher likes cupcakes (C) and muffins (M). His preferences can be represented by the utility function U(C, M) = C0.5M0.5. H
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

16 cupcakes

Explanation:

U(C, M) = C⁰°⁵ x M⁰°⁵ = √C x √M

total utility obtained by eating 16 cupcakes and 4 muffins = √16 x √4 = 4 + 2 = 6

since the bakery is out of muffins, then utility function = √C x √2 = √C x 1.4142

√C x 1.4142 = 6

√C = 6 / 1.4142 = 4.2426

C = 4.2426² = 18

since there were 2 cupcakes left, Christopher must purchase 18 - 2 = 16 cupcakes
