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%

SDJ, Inc., has net working capital of $2,060, current liabilities of $5,550, and inventory of $1,250.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

1.

Current ratio = 1.37 times

2.

Quick Ratio = 1.15 times

Explanation:

The current ratio and quick ratios both are measures to assess the liquidity position of businesses. These are useful indicators of how well the business is equipped to meet its current obligations using its liquid assets.

To calculate these ratios, we must first determine the value of current assets. We are given the value of net working capital. The net working capital is the difference between the current assets and the current liabilities.

Net Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities

2060 = Current Assets - 5550

2060 + 5550 = Current Assets

Current assets = $7610

<u>Requirement 1.</u>

The current ratio is calculated as follows,

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = 7610 / 5550

Current Ratio = 1.3711 rounded off to 1.37 times

<u />

<u>Requirement 2.</u>

The quick ratio is calculated as follows,

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (7610 - 1250) / 5550

Quick Ratio = 1.1459 rounded off to 1.15 times
