Full Question:

If the number of unemployed persons in a country equals 24 million, the number of employed persons equals 8 million, and the number of persons over age 16 in the population equals 40 million, the unemployment rate equals:

a. 18%

b. 25%

c. 32%

d. 75%

Answer:

The correct answer is D) 75%

Explanation:

Step 1:

The formula for unemployment rate is:

Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed Persons / Labor Force) x 100

<u>The labor force is the sum of unemployed and employed persons</u>. By dividing the number of individuals whom are unemployed by labor force, you'll find the labor force participation, or unemployment rate.

Step 2

Therefore:

The labor force is arrived at by adding:

24 Million and 8 Million.

(24,000,000 + 8,000,000) = 32 Million

Step 3:

If number of unemployed persons is given as 24 Million, therefore

Unemployment rate = (24,000,000/32,000,000) x 100

Unemployment rate = 75%

Answer:

Here:

Explanation:

Purchase price of shares = 24000

total purchase cost = price of shares bought + broker fees total purchase cost = 24000 + 0.01*24000 =24240

selling price of shares = 29100

total selling cost = price of shares sold - broker fees total selling cost = 29100 - 35 = 29065

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Preference shareholders = $36,000

Equity shareholders = $9,000

Explanation:

As provided the outstanding preference dividend at end of 2012 = $12,000

Total cash dividends declared = $45,000 in the year 2013

Regular preference dividends = $100 $\times$ 3,000 $\times$ 8% = $24,000

Thus, when dividends will be paid in 2013 then firstly they will be used for payment to preference shareholders.

Thus, the company shall pay:

$12,000 + $24,000 = $36,000 to preference shareholders.

Further the balance will be paid to equity shareholders.

= $45,000 - $36,000 = $9,000
