Answer: A. greater than 5.3 percent because the value in the numerator of the formula for the unemployment rate would increase more than the value in the denominator.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of those who are unemployed but actively seeking employment by the labor force.

= Unemployed / Labor force

If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged then that would mean that the denominator for the unemployment rate did not change while unemployment did.

The unemployment rate will therefore be greater than 5.3% because the numerator which is the unemployment figure, would have increase more than the denominator.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Falls:rises.

Explanation:

The MU/P (Marginal Utility/Price) ratio for good X is greater than the MU/P (Marginal Utility/Price) ratio for good Y. To achieve consumer equilibrium, the consumer reallocates dollars from the purchase of good Y to the purchase of good X. If the law of diminishing marginal utility holds, the marginal utility of good X falls and the marginal utility of good Y rises.

The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.

Also, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.

Hence, the marginal utility of good X falls and the marginal utility of good Y rises because the consumer no longer derive satisfaction or benefits (utility) from the consumption of good X while he would switch to good Y for satisfaction.

shusha [124]

Answer:

If volume increases to 6,000 units and both 5,000 units and 6,000 units are within the relevant range, the company would expect to incur total factory overhead costs of $35,600

Explanation:

At a volume of 5,000 units, Pwerson Company incurred $32,000 in factory overhead costs, including $14,000 in fixed costs.

The variable in factory overhead costs = $32,000 - $14,000 = $18,000

The variable in factory overhead costs per unit = $18,000/5,000 = $3.6

Both 5,000 units and 6,000 units are within the relevant range. Therefore, when volume increases to 6,000 units, fixed costs are not change.

The variable in factory overhead costs = $3.6 x 6,000 = $21,600

Total factory overhead costs = $21,600 + $14,000 = $35,600
