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%

Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm's t
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

8.94%

Explanation:

Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE

Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000

= $37,500

Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation

Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity

Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities

= $250,000 - $37,500

= $212,500

Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;

(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)

= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500

= 8.94%

As the head of the engineering department for her company, Jody works with her team on complex and challenging projects. The lev
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Wide

Explanation:

Basically there are two spans of control namely; wide and narrow. A wide span of control is one in which a manager or supervisor interacts with many team members. In other words, the levels of hierarchy involved where there is a wide span of control is few. As such, this structure entails that a large number of the team members report directly to the manager.

The narrow span of control is one in which the manager supervises or interacts with a few team members. In other words, there is some level of hierarchy involved such that the managers direct subordinates are few and have subordinates who report to them.

To state it in another way, the wider the span of control, the fewer level of report or levels of hierarchy and the narrower the span of control, the higher the levels of hierarchy required.

In light of the explanation above, it can be deduced that Jody has a wide span of control over her team.

Suppose you just bought a 25-year annuity of $8,200 per year at the current interest rate of 12 percent per year. What is the va
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

64,313.74 ; 95,559.38 ; 47,283.11

Explanation:

by definition the present value of an annuity is given by:

a_{n} =P*\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n} }{i}

where a_{n} is the present value of the annuity, i is the interest rate for every period payment, n is the number of payments, and P is the regular amount paid. so applying to this particular problem, we have:

1. P=8,200, n=25, i=12%

a_{n} =8,200*\frac{1-(1+12\%)^{-25}}{12\%}

a_{n} =64,313.74

2. P=8,200, n=25, i=7%

a_{n} =8,200*\frac{1-(1+7\%)^{-25} }{7\%}

a_{n} =95,559.38

3. P=8,200, n=25, i=17%

a_{n} =8,200*\frac{1-(1+17\%)^{-25} }{17\%}

a_{n} =47,283.11
