Answer: 5%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate = Number unemployed / Labor force * 100%

The number of people who are unemployed are:

= Labor force - Employed people

= 800,000 - 760,000

= 40,000 people

Unemployment rate = 40,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 5%

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is $243,000

Explanation:

The inventory on July 8 immediately prior to the fire is the CLOSING INVENTORY.

To find this closing inventory, we need to find the gross profit first and then cost of sales.

To find gross profit:

Gross profit margin=gross profit ÷sales.

Gross profit margin is 20% or 0.2

Sales is $690,000

Therefore, gross profit is:

0.2 x $690,000

=$138,000

To find cost of sales:

Gross profit = sales - cost of sales.

Gross profit is $138,000

Sales is $690,000

Therefore, cost of sales is

$690,000 - $138,000

=$552,000.

And finally to get closing inventory:

Cost of sales = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory.

Cost of sales = $552,000

Opening inventory = $140,000

Purchases = $655,000

Closing inventory = $140,000+$655,000-$552,000

=$243,000.

What is the term used to describe the reduction of the balance owed on a loan with each payment made over a period of time?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The term used to describe the reduction of the balance owed on a loan with each payment made over a period of time is:

d. amortization.

Explanation:

Amortization of a loan is the gradual reduction of the balance owed on a loan because payments are being made over a period of time.  Each payment is, therefore, a reduction of the borrowed fund.  This gradual reduction through periodic payments is called amortization of the borrowed fund.  Loan amortization, therefore, implies the spreading out of the loan payments over time.  It is not the same as asset amortization, which is a kind of depreciation.
