Answer:

5%

12%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate is the fraction of the labour force that are unemployed but are actively looking for work

Types of unemployment include:

Frictional unemployment : it is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. The 300 unemployed people are frictionally unemployed

structural unemployment : it occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent. The 420 unemployed people are structurally unemployed

Voluntary unemployment : e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment : occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy

Frictional unemployment = (total frictional unemployed people / total labour force ) x 100

(300 / 6000) x 100 = 5%

Total unemployment rate = (total frictional unemployed people + total structural unemployed individuals / total labour force ) x 100

[(300 + 420) / 6000] x 100 = 12%

A company has $10,710 available per month for advertising. Newspaper ads cost $180 each and can't run more than 22 times per mon
True [87]

Answer:

22 radio advertisements will be used.

Explanation:

<u>Note</u>: A similar complete question is as follow as the question provided is incomplete <em>"A company has $11,970 available per month for advertising. Newspaper ads cost $110 each and can't run more than 25 times per month. Radio ads cost $410 each and can't run more than 32 times per month at this price. Each newspaper ad reaches 5950 potential customers, and each radio ad reaches 7100 potential customers. The company wants to maximize the number of ad exposures to potential customers. Use n n for number of Newspaper advertisements and r r for number of Radio advertisements . Maximize P"</em>

Number of potential customers that can be reached due to each dollar spent in newspaper advertising =  5950 / 110 = 54.09

Number of potential customers that can be reached due to each dollar spent in Radio advertisements = 7100 / 410 = 17.32.

As the number of potential customers reached by each dollar spent is more from the newspaper advertising, we will use all the newspaper advertising opportunities before going for the radio advertisements. So, we will choose to have 25 newspaper advertisements in the month.

The cost of 25 newspaper advertisements = 25*110  = $2750.

Amount left = $11970 - $2750 = $9220.

Number of radio advertisements possible in this budget = 9220 / 410 = 22.48

Hence, 22 radio advertisements will be used.
