Answer:

a. 28.7 millions

b. 20.4 millions

c. 0.9231, or 92.31%

Explanation:

a. How much of the population is older than 16? million  

Number of population older than 16 = Total population - Children under the age of 16 = 35.4 – 6.7 = 28.7 millions

b. What is the size of the labor force? million

Labour force = Employed + Unemployed = 18.5 + 1.9 = 20.4 millions

c. What is the labor force participation rate?

Working age population = Total population – Children under the age of 16 – Retirees = 35.4 – 6.7 – 6.6 = 22.1 millions

Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Working age population = 20.4 ÷ 22.1 = 0.9231, or 92.31%

Holding other factors constant, if bad weather destroys the annual crop for carrots, it causes the supply curve for carrots to
Iteru [2.4K]

Options:

<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>

<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>

<em>c. Stay the same</em>

<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.

What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
