Answer:

Note: <em>See missing wordings in attached picture below</em>

<em />

a. <u>2015</u>

Gross profit percentage = [Total revenue - Cost of crude oil and products] / Total revenue

Gross profit percentage = [$225 - $119] / $225

Gross profit percentage = $106 / $225

Gross profit percentage = 0.47111111

Gross profit percentage = 47.11%

<u>2014</u>

Gross profit percentage = [Total revenue - Cost of crude oil and products] / Total revenue

Gross profit percentage = [$242 - $127] / $242

Gross profit percentage = $115 / $242

Gross profit percentage = 0.475206612

Gross profit percentage = 47.52%

Conclusion: Insignia Corporation are likely to earn less gross profit from each dollar of sales in 2016 because Gross profit percentage decreased from 2014 to 2015.

b. <u>2015</u>

Net profit margin = Net income / Total revenue

Net profit margin = $26/$225

Net profit margin = 0.1155555

Net profit margin = 11.56%

<u />

<u>2014</u>

Net profit margin = Net income / Total revenue

Net profit margin = $37/$242

Net profit margin = 0.152893

Net profit margin = 15.29%

Answer:

A. 6.75%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $1,021.16

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35

NPER = 13 years × 2 = 26 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the pretax cost of debt is 6.75%     (3.38% × 2)

Describe the effect of technology as it relates to structural unemployment and technological unemployment
nignag [31]

Structural unemployment is aggravated and reduced by technology depending on the sector and advancements coming with it.

Explanation:

Technology has been responsible for the increase and decrease in structure unemployment which in simple terms means technology has given and taken people's jobs.

This is because technology changes an industry fundamentally. The people who are replaced by self serve robots loose their jobs but many gain the jobs of handling the new installed equipment like this in companies.

This leads to the point of technological unemployment which means that some people remain unemployed because they do not have certain technical knowledge which is unfortunate for many from lower classes.
