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%

D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.

Explanation:

While the other three options will effectively reduce the company's criminal liability exposure, option D is the least that is likely to have a positive or effective effect.  This implies that option D is most likely to aggravate the criminal liability of the company as it will be regarded as bribery to cover up a crime.

enyata [817]

Answer:

$4.5

Explanation:

Interest to be capitalized=$90*6%*10/12=$4.5

As the loan was outstanding from January  to October 2021, therefore interest is worked out for 10 months.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Explanation:

To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.

Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month

<u />

<u>Total cost of all units:</u>

Beginning inventory (485 * 66)            32010

Purchase 1     (725 * 69)                        50025

Purchase 2     (364 * 71)                    <u>    25844</u>

Total                                                       107879

<u>Total Units</u>

Beginning Inventory     485

Purchase 1                     725

Purchase 2                    <u>364</u>

Total                              1574

Average cost per unit =   107879 / 1574

Average cost per unit = $68.54

Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198     =   376 units

Value of closing inventory =  376 * 68.54

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Price gouging is charging unnecessarily high prices for goods if they are in high demand in market. From a sellers perspective its profitable because he/she is able to get more profits on a good and because the goods have a high demand the goods will eventually be sold even on a high price.

From a consumers perspective if the good is a basic need and the consumer is paying high price for it, this can be frustrating but the consumer will have to buy it. If the commodity is not a basic need then the consumer can just stop buying that good and can substitute any other good.
