3 0

Answer:

The answer is = 12.5%

Explanation:

The 175 people that have jobs are in unemployment (employed).

The 25 people that are not working but are looking for jobs are called unemployed.

The 90 people are neither working nor looking for work for work are not counted in the employment.

Therefore, the labor force is employed people + unemployed people.

Labor force is 175 + 25= 200 people.

So, unemployment rate is:

(unemployed people ÷ labor force) x 100

(25÷200) x 100%

=12.5%

Which one of the following groups of accounts only have debit balances
scoray [572]

Answer: b. Sales Returns, Wages, Machinery, Discount Allowed

Explanation:

Sales returns reduce the sales made. Sales are put on the credit side so transactions that will reduce sales such as sales returns would have to go on the debit side.

Wages are an expense and expenses are debited to show they are increasing so they have a debit balance.

Machinery is an asset and assets have debit balances.

Discount allowed reduces the sales balance and as mentioned above, transactions that reduce sales go on the debit side so this has a debit balance as well.
