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
Answer:
$45,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct-material quantity variance is shown below:-
Direct Material Quantity Variance = Standard Rate × (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity Used for Actual Production)
= $7.50 × (246,000 - 40,000 × 6)
= $7.50 × (246,000 - 240,000)
= $7.50 × 6,000
= $45,000 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct-material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.

Answer:
1. positive externalities
2. educational credit for the market failure
3. redistribution
4. failure to maximize the family utility
Explanation:
There are generally four rationales or logical thinking for the public provisions for education. They are the positive externalities, failure to maximize the family utility, educational credit for the market failure, redistribution.
Now each rationales provides reasons that educations is more likely to be underprovided without any intervention from the government. But many of them does not provide any reasons for the mandate of education.
Like suppose the government can support and solve any educational credit market failure by just offering some loan guarantees for the students while letting them chose to receive education or not.
Similarly government can also address positive externalities that are associated with productivity gains or just letting a person educated without any mandating it.
And finally, government redistributes the poor families through the progressive taxation or the offerings of free education without any mandating them.
