Answer:

The effect of this error on 2003 ending working capital is that it overstated the ending 2003 working capital.

The error does not have effect on the 2004 ending retained earnings balance.

Explanation:

Let the amount of the commission expense be xxxx.

At the end of 2003, the journal entries should have been as follows:

Debit Commission expense for xxxx

Credie Commission payable for xxxx

Also, we have:

Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities ………… (1)

From equation (1), current liabilities are understated because commission payable which was not recorded is an item under current liabilities. Since the current liabilities are understated, that indicates that the working capital in equation is overstated. Therefore, the effect of this error on 2003 ending working capital is that it overstated the ending 2003 working capital.

When the 2003 commission expense in the entries above was paid in 2004, it would have been recognized as an expense. This made the error to counterbalance. This implies that the 2004 ending retained earnings balance is still correct despite that there are errors in the earnings of the two years. Therefore, the error does not have effect on the 2004 ending retained earnings balance.

Explanation:

Unemployment means the state of being jobless but actively searching for work.  Unemployed people are part of the labor force.

In the case of Albireo, the work-eligible population is 180 million.

There are 110 million workers in the labor force, and employment level is 103 million. It means that those in the labor force and are not employed are 110 million - 103 million.

The number of unemployed people  = 7 million

=7/110 x 100

= 0.063 x 100

=6.36 %
