Answer:

there are a large number of people working in the underground economy.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is the rate of people in the labour force that is without a job but they are actively looking for employment

Types of unemployment

structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.  

Frictional unemployment:  the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom  

If a large number of people are working underground, they would not be counted as part of the labour force and so the labour force would be smaller. This understates unemployment rate

The Marx Company issued $98,000 of 8% bonds on April 1 of the current year at face value. The bonds pay interest semiannually on
Fed [463]

Answer:

$4,800

Explanation:

Interest Expense of the bond is calculated by multiplying Face value and Coupon rate. Any discount or premium is amortized over the life of the bond and added or deducted from the interest payment in order to record the interest expense.

As per given data

Face value of Bond = $80,000

Coupon Rate = 8%

Interest Expense = Face value x Coupon rate

As on July 1 interest of only 3 months has been accrued, so we will record the interest expense of 3 months only.  

On July 1

Interest Expense = $80,000 x 8% x 3/12 = $1,600

6 month period Expense will be recorded.

On December 31

Interest Expense = $80,000 x 8% x 6/12 = $3,200

Total Expense = $1,600 + $3,200 = $4,800

Laura is a gourmet chef who runs a small catering business in a competitive industry. Laura specializes in making wedding cakes.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is the letter a. "Make more than 20 wedding cakes a month."

Explanation:

To maximize profit the marginal price of each cake must equal the marginal cost of each cake. The marginal cost is 300 and the marginal price is 5000/20 = 250. The marginal price of each cake (250) is less than the marginal cost of each cake (300), so Laura needs to make more than 20 cakes to increase her revenue and maximize her profit.
