The increase in unemployment that occurs during recessions and depressions is called Group of answer choices normal unemployment

belka [17]

Answer:

cyclical unemployment.

Explanation:

Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;

I. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).

II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).

III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).

IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).

V. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).

A cyclical unemployment can be defined as a type of unemployment which is typically related to changes in the business, economy or industry cycle such as recession, governmental policies etc.

Mathematically, cyclical unemployment rate can be calculated using the formula;

$Cyclical \; unemployment \; rate \; (CU) = Actual \; unemployment \; rate \; (AU) - Natural \;unemployment \; rate \; (NU)$

Hence, the increase in unemployment that occurs during recessions and depressions is called cyclical unemployment

Homeyer Corporation has provided the following data for its two most recent years of operation: Selling price per unit $ 71 Manu

Alex

Answer:

Net operating profit= 102,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $ 71

Manufacturing costs:

Direct materials $ 12

Direct labor $ 6

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3

Fixed manufacturing overhead per year $ 264,000

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold $ 4

Fixed selling and administrative expense per year $ 74,000

Year 1

Units in beginning inventory 0

Units produced during the year 11,000

Units sold during the year 8,000

Units in ending inventory 3,000

Year 2

Units in beginning inventory 3,000

Units produced during the year 12,000

Units sold during the year 14,000

Units in ending inventory 1,000

Unitary cost= (12 + 6 + 3) + (264,000/11,000)= $45

Income statement:

Sales= (8,000*$71)= 568,000

COGS= (8,000*45)= 360,000 (-)

Gross profit= 208,000

Variable selling and administrative= (4*8000)= 32,000 (-)

Fixed selling and administrative expense= 74,000 (-)

Net operating profit= 102,000

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 8.5% has duration of 12.88 years and convexity of 23

marin [14]

Answer:

a. Predicted Price = $1815.52

b. Predicted Price = $1,834.64

c. Predicted Price = $1425.4

Explanation:

The actual price of the bond as a function of yield to maturity is:

Yield to maturity --- Price

7% $1,620.45

8% $1,450.31

9% $1,308.21

a.

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 6% - 7% = -1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * -0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = 195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = $195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $195.06

= $1815.52

b.

Using Duration-with-Convexity Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%

Predicted price change

= [(-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * (-0.01) + (½ * 235.95 * (-0.01²))] * 1,620.45

= 214.1770345759345

= $214.18 ------ Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $214.18

= $1,834.64

c.

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity rise to 8%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 8% - 7% = 1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * 0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = -195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = -$195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 - $195.06

= $1425.4

If the expected path of 1-year interest rates over the next five years is 2 percent, 4 percent, 1 percent, 4 percent, and 3 perc

timofeeve [1]

Answer:A) one year

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.
