Answer:
b.) While some job loss may occur as a result of automation, the potential for job creation exists
Explanation:
Automation is the process by which a the production process that is usually managed by people becomes mechanised.
The control and monitoring functions that people usually do is now transferred to automatic devices.
While this will cause some job loss as a result of lack of skill to operate the new machines, it will also result in an avenue for fresh employment.
Employees can acquire the required skill to operate the machines that are now used in the production process.
Answer:
The lending ability will increase by $2.25 billion.
Explanation:
The reserve requirement is given at 25%.
If federal reserve bank buys $3 billion in government securities, the total reserve will increase by $3 billion.
The excess reserve will be
=Increase in total reserve-required reserve
=$3 billion-25% of $3
=$(3 billion- .25*3) billion
=$(3-0.75) billion
=$2.25 billion
Answer:
.B. The amount of depreciation expense recognized in 2019 would be greater if Dinwiddie depreciates the car under the straight-line method than if the double declining balance method is used
Explanation:
The double-declining method recognizes higher depreciation amounts in the first years of an asset 's life. The method applies twice the rate of the straight-line method on a declining book value balances. In the latter years, the depreciation amount will be less because the book value will have declined considerably.
In this case, a useful life of six years attracts a straight-line depreciation rate of 16.6 % (1/6 x 100). the double-declining method will apply a rate of 33.2 %.
The straight-line method applies a constant rate throughout the use-life of an asset. The book value decreases at a constant rate, unlike in double -declining, where the book value decreases rapidly in the early years of the asset. 2019 will be the fourth year in this case. The fourth-year is in the latter stages of a six-year useful life.
Answer:
5%
12%
Explanation:
Unemployment rate is the fraction of the labour force that are unemployed but are actively looking for work
Types of unemployment include:
Frictional unemployment : it is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. The 300 unemployed people are frictionally unemployed
structural unemployment : it 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. The 420 unemployed people are structurally unemployed
Voluntary unemployment : e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment : occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy
Frictional unemployment = (total frictional unemployed people / total labour force ) x 100
(300 / 6000) x 100 = 5%
Total unemployment rate = (total frictional unemployed people + total structural unemployed individuals / total labour force ) x 100
[(300 + 420) / 6000] x 100 = 12%
Answer:
In its 2017 year-end balance sheet, Reliable would report installment receivables (net) of $13,400.
Explanation:
Under cost recovery method, the amount which is actually received was recorded in the books of the accounts. Rest will not be considered.
The Installment receivables should be computed by a formula which is shown below:
= 2017 Merchandising costing - 2017 sales collection
= $32,500 - $19,100
= $13,400
Thus, In its 2017 year-end balance sheet, Reliable would report installment receivables (net) of $13,400.
