Answer: B. 20.00%
Explanation:
Unemployment rate does not include those who have given up on finding a job.
Unemployment rate = Unemployed people / Labor force
Unemployed people:
= Original unemployed + half the new graduates
= 1,000 + (1,000 / 2)
= 1,500 people
Labor force:
= Unemployed + employed people
= 1,500 + 6,000
= 7,500 people
Unemployment rate:
= 1,500 / 7,500
= 20%
Answer:
1.6 Q1 + 0.875 Q2 = $56
Explanation:
Budget constraint equation represents the total budget allocation to different activities under consideration.
old Budget Constraint
Q1 + Q2 = $56
New Budget Constraint
(Q1)*8/5 + (Q2)*7/8 = $56
(Q1)*1.6 + (Q2)*7/8 = $56
(Q1)*1.6 + (Q2)*0.875 = $56
1.6 Q1 + 0.875 Q2 = $56
So best answer made based on data available.

Vertical integration is a business strategy whereby a business acquires ownership or controls its suppliers, distributors, or retail locations to control its value or supply chain.
It may also be said that vertical integration has to do with the purchase of a part of all of the production or sales process that was previously outsourced, to have it done in-house.
An example of companies who have done this are:
1. Apple
2. Netflix
3. Comcast (Which acquired NBC)
Businesses can integrate by
- purchasing their suppliers to reduce the costs of manufacturing or
- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
Answer:
The correct answer is the letter b. This is a common occurrence. The policymaker usually disregards an economist's advice because they do not believe it is the most efficient policy.
Explanation:
It is common for policymakers to disregard the advice of an economist. This is because in addition to their often finding that the policies suggested by economists are not the most efficient, they observe the political return of such action, ie not just efficiency, but the extent to which this policy will bring political benefits. Thus, as in this case, the policy is not implemented because it is not popular with voters.
