Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.
Answer:
<u>stay the same; decrease</u>
Explanation:
<em>Remember</em>, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not <u>unemployed</u>. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.
The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy.

Answer: $15,000
Explanation:
From the question, Carl transfers land with a fair market value of $120,000 and basis of $30,000, to a new corporation in exchange for 85 percent of the corporation's stock and that the land is subject to a $45,000 liability, which the corporation assumes.
The amount of gain that Carl must recognize as a result of this transaction will be the difference between the liability the land is subjected to which is $45,000 and the basis of the land which is $30,000.
= $45,000 - $30,000
= $15,000
