Answer:

Unemployment rate= 7.4%

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the labor force. <u>The labor force is the sum of employed people and unemployed people over 16 actively looking for work.</u>

Labor force= 60,000 - 2,000 - 4,000= 54,000

<u>Now, we can calculate the unemployment rate, using the following formula:</u>

unemployment rate= (unemployed people / labor force)*100

unemployment rate= (4,000/54,000)*100

unemployment rate= 7.4%

jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.1224

(b) 0.3825

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income = $15,300,000

Net sales = $450,000,000

Total assets = $125,000,000

Stockholders’ equity = $40,000,000

(A) Return on assets:

= Net income ÷ Total assets

= $15,300,000 ÷ $125,000,000

= 0.1224

(b) Return on equity:

= Net income ÷ Stockholders’ equity

= $15,300,000 ÷ $40,000,000

= 0.3825
