The fraction of the employed workers who lose their jobs each month or the rate of the job separation must be 0.07
Steady-state rate of unemployment multiply to the fraction of unemployed workers who find jobs each month.
0.125 * 0.56 = 0.07
The answer in this question is 0.07
Answer:
7.84%
Explanation:
Given:
Bond's par value (FV) = $1,000
Maturity (nper) = 25 × 2 = 50 periods (since it's semi-annual)
YTM (rate) = 0.0925÷2 = 0.04625 semi annually
Price of bond (PV) = $875
Calculate coupon payment (pmt) using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,-PV,FV)
PV is negative as it's a cash outflow.
So semi- annual coupon payment is $39.20
Annual coupon payment = 39.2×2 = $78.40
Nominal Coupon rate = Annual coupon payment ÷ Par value
= 78.4 ÷ 1000
= 0.0784 or 7.84%
Answer:
Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.
Explanation:
Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.
The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.

The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
The only kind of market structure where the price is set by market forces and not the firms is pure competition. The firms in other market structures such as oligopoly, monopoly and monopolistic competition are price setters.
The market for wheat is a pure competition as there is a large number of sellers who are producing identical products. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by market forces.
