<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
<u>As per the given data:</u>
Quarter 1 = 90000, Quarter 2 = 90000, Quarter 3 = 60000, Quarter 4 = 140000
a. Quarterly production rate is calculated as follows:
Q = ( 90000 + 90000 + 60000 + 140000 ) divide by 4
after calcualting the above equation, we get, = 95000 gallons per quarter tin order to meet the demand.
b. Anticipation inventory:
1 st quarter = 95000 minus 90000 = 5000 gallons
2 nd quarter = 95000 minus 90000 = 5000 + 5000 in prior quarter = 10000 gallons
3 rd quarter = 95000 minus 60000 = 35000 + 10000 in prior quarters = 45000 gallons
4th quarter = 140000 minus 450000 minus 95000 = 0 gallons.
Answer:
Over the last two years, small businesses have taken to the electronic space as a means of expanding their businesses.
This e-commerce trend experienced an upward spike during the C-19 Pandemic. As businesses were forced to operate remotely, necessity which is the mother of invention, started to thinking of ways to restructure their businesses to operate more electronically using a wide array of online tools and technology.
In a recent survey, 10 out of 50 businesses said they were not reverting back to their former model of operations as they had realised that it was completely unnecessary.
Top reasons given are:
- Given the shedding of operation load and streamlining to basic functions whilst retaining the quality of product and or service, they also shed a lot of costs which increased their bottomline;
- emote service deliveries enabled them to get into more territories that they couldn't access prior to the C-19 pandemic. Thus leading to an expansion of clientele/market share.
Population - 50,000
Employed - 45,000
Students not looking for work - 1,000
To calculate Boone's unemployment rate you'll use the formula:
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Those that fall into the unemployment category are those that are not working but are actively looking/wanting to work. Students, stay-at-home moms etc that are not wanting to work, though unemployed, to not fall into this category.
The labor force is made up of everyone willing and able to work.
First, let's subtract the students who are not looking for work from the population so get the labor force. 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 (labor force)
Next, to get the number of people unemployed let us subtract the labor force of 49,000 by those already employed of 45,000. 49,000 - 45,000 = 4,000
Finally, we are able to calculate the unemployment rate of Boone.
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Unemployment rate = 4,000/49,000= .081 multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 8.1%
Unemployment rate of Boone is 8.1%
