The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as frictional unemployment.
This is because it is temporary and people in the affected sector could opt for jobs in other performing sectors of the economy.
Explanation:
Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially, the following scenario will ensue.
The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will reduce .
The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will also decline .
The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as frictional unemployment.

Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Estimated fixed cost = $288,000
Estimated variable cost = $14 per unit
Units expects to produce and sell = 60,000
Selling price = $20 per unit
We first need to calculate the contribution margin:
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= $20 - $14
= $6
The break even point in units is the ratio of fixed cost to the contribution margin per unit.
Break-even point in units:
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $288,000 ÷ $6
= 48,000 units
