Answer:
The answer is 60%
Explanation:
Labor force is the total number of people that have job(employed) and the number of people who are willing, able and actively searching for job(unemployed) in a population.
Labor force participation rate is calculated by dividing the labor force by the noninstitutionalized population.
Labor force = employed + underemployed + unemployed
= 96 + 31 + 8
=135 million
So we have:
(135 ÷ 243) x 100 percent.
60% (the nearest whole percentage)
Answer:
The company should buy the units because it will save $10,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Make in-house:
Unitary variable cost= 2 + 8 + 6= $16
Avoidable fixed cost= $8,000
Buy:
Unitary cost= $15
<u>First, we will determine the total cost of each option:</u>
Make in house= 2,000*16 + 8,000= $40,000
Buy= 15*2,000= $30,000
The company should buy the units because it will save $10,000.-

Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.
And the correct answer is: "B. No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".
