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%

olga2289 [7]

The present value of the investment future value is $38,628.40

What is present value?

Present value is the today's worth of a future amount when discounted or expressed in today's dollar equivalence.

The present value of a single future cash flow can be determined using the present value formula below:

PV=FV/(1+r/365)^(N*365)

PV=present value=unknown

FV=future value=$95,000

r=discount rate=9%

N=number of years before the future amount is received=10

365 is an indication of number of years in a year since discounted is compounded daily.

PV=$95,000/(1+9%/365)^(10*365)

PV=$38,628.40

The present value can be further understood using the link below:

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The answer is: B) withdrawal cognitions

Explanation:

Withdrawal cognitions (in business) can also be referred to as "Quitting process", its definition is: the overall thoughts and feelings about quitting a job.

Anyone who has ever worked for someone else has either quitted his job or thought about quitting his job. There are lots of reasons for doing this, the main one is lack of job satisfaction (e.g. we don't like our work, we want to get paid better, we work too many hours, etc.).

But quitting a job is rarely an easy task, because a job is important to almost everyone, we need to work. Quitting itself is a whole process, where you evaluate the pros and cons of doing so, you might also doubt on your decision to either quit or stay. That process is withdrawal cognitions.

In April of the current year, Steelman Press Company transferred Ken Sherm from its factory in Louisiana to its plant in Florida
Verdich [7]

Answer:

A) $158.40

B) $77.90

C) $42

Explanation:

The question is to determine the tax figures for both the State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA) for Louisiana and Florida and the net Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) on Sherm's wages.

A) Amount of SUTA tax the company must pay to Louisiana on Sherm's wages

Out of the $14,190 wages of Sherm for the year, $4,950 was paid in Louisiana

Meaning the State SUTA tax in Louisiana = $4,950 x the tax rate for SUTA in Louisiana = 3.2%

= $4,950 x 3.2% = $158.40

B) Amount of SUTA tax the company must pay to Florida on Sherm's wages

Out of $14,190, $4,950 was paid in Louisiana meaning (14,190 - 4,950) = 9,240 was paid in Florida

However, the taxable wage limit is $7,000

threefore, SUTA in Florida = ($7,000-$4950 x 3.8%

= $77.90

C) Amount of the net FUTA tax on Sherm's wages

Using the same taxable wage limit of $7,000

FUTA tax = $7,000 x 0.6% = $42

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

D) Pix must have knowledge of all material facts relating

Explanation:

If the contract is beneficial for Pix, then they will want to ratify it. Unless Sky is aware that Able was not authorized to sign contracts on behalf of Pix, they probably wouldn't even tell them about what really happened. Although, Pix will want to know all material facts relating to the contract at the time it is ratified in order to verify if it is really good for them.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

b. They reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior.

Explanation:

Morals are not universal and vary greatly depending on the underlying culture and religion. Even still in each civilization, there are many grey areas in the concept of morals. One thing that seems to be constant is that they reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior. In this scenario, some developing countries believe that using children as a cheaper form of labor is fine since the children are getting paid and therefore, there are no laws prohibiting this action so people see it as morally correct. While other countries that see it as morally wrong have laws and regulations to prevent people from performing such actions. These laws and regulations are a form of dictating social and economic behavior by stating that it is morally wrong.
