Answer: 30.1%

Explanation:

The unemployment rate includes those who do not have employment but are actively looking for employment not those who do not have a job and are not looking.

The rate is also based on the Labor force which is the portion of the population that is <u>able</u> and <u>willing</u> to work. Retirees are not included in this measure. Those who are not looking are not willing.

Labor Force = 50 full-time + 15 part-time + 28 unemployed

= 93 people

Unemployment rate:

= 28 / 93 * 100

= 30.1%

The market value balance sheet for Cherry Pie Corp. reflects a cash of $22,000, fixed assets of $209,000, and equity of $231,000
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Equity = $231,000

No. of outstanding shares = 5,000

Price of share = \frac{231,000}{5000}

Price of share = $46.2

Repurchased shares worth $18,000

No. of shares repurchased = \frac{18,000}{46.2}

No. of shares repurchased = 390

When the shares would have been repurchased then the value of equity would decrease by the same amount.

Revised equity = $231,000 - $18,000

Revised equity = $213,000

No. of shares outstanding = 5,000 - 390

No. of shares outstanding = 4,610

Thus, the price of each share would be:

Share price = \frac{213,000}{4,610}

Share price = $42.60
