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%

What are the three basic questions faced by every economy
Likurg_2 [28]

The three basic questions asked are:

1. What goods and services should be produced?

This is asked because the economy wants to produce what the consumers want or else the resources aren't being used efficiently since resources are scarce.

2. How should we produce them?

This is asked because the producers don't want to spend unnecessary time or money on production, so they must choose wisely what method of production is best for their company and consumers.

3. Who are the consumers?

This is asked because the producers want to make sure that they are targeting the right people with advertising or selling.

Hope this helped!
