Answer: 1. 12. 2. 1.090. 3. 0.08327
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327
Answer:
$4,500
Explanation:
depreciation expense
= [revised cost of asset - salvage value]/[remaining life of the assets]
= [$39,000 - $3,00]/[8 years]
= $4,500
Therefore, The Depreciation expense for Year 6 is $4,500.
Answer:
Z-Mart purchased $3,000 worth of merchandise on credit. Transportation costs were an additional $100, paid cash to the cartage company on delivery. Z-Mart returned $300 worth of merchandise and paid the invoice on time, and took a 2% purchase discount. The amount of this payment was <u>$2744</u>
Explanation:
Purchases excluding freight $3,000
Less:Goods returned -$300
Add:freight charges $100
Net Purchases $2,800
Less:Discount on payment($2,800*2%) -$56
Net cash paid $2,844
Answer:
The answer is: D) $32,835
Explanation:
The easiest way to calculate the present value of an investment is to use an excel spreadsheet and the present value function =NPV(discount rate, series of cash flow). The first nine cash flows equal 12,000 and the tenth cash flow equals 17,000.
After you calculate the present value in excel, you must subtract the investment amount to determine the net present value.
NPV = $82,837 - $50,000 = $32,837 (the answer varies by $2 probably because of rounding percentages)
