Among those not working, the most recent job-search activity for 2.90 million happened less than two weeks ago, while 1.72 million most recently looked for work between two and four weeks ago. An additional 0.86 million most recently looked for work five weeks ago, and the remaining 10.99 million who do not have jobs have not looked for work in the past six weeks.

Answer:

24.05 million

Explanation:

The computation of the size of the total labor force is shown below:

Size of the labor force = Number of employed people + number of unemployed people

where,

Number of employed people = Number of people working full time + number of people working part time

= 14.53 million + 4.9 million

= 19.43 million

Number of unemployed people = Less than two weeks + two and four weeks ago

= 2.90 million + 1.72 million

= 4.62 million

So, the size of the labor force is

= 19.43 million + 4.62 million

= 24.05 million

dybincka [34]

Answer: Debit overhead expenses $78,530 Credit wages payable $78,530

Explanation: The $78,530 was arrived at by adding all the wages amount ($620 + $910 + $77 000). Recognizing the journals as compound entries means the total amount of the wages would be used instead of simply recognizing the debits and credits for each wage amount.

Since the wages have been incurred but not paid, a payable has to be recognized. When payment is eventually to be made, it would be from the payable account by way of debiting the payable account and crediting cash.

Avalon's decision to __________ is a long run decision.

A. Move to Larger Space

B. Hire 15 more employees

Answer:

Option A. Move to Larger Space

Explanation:

The decision that alters only a single variable factor is considered as a short run decision. Labor, electricity usage, increased production are examples of variable factors. This means that increase in employees is a short run decision.

On the other hand, decision to increase or decrease the fixed factors are considered as long run decision because it is difficult to alter the decision and if we do so, then we will encounter heavy losses for a long period of time. Long run decision includes selling or purchasing or leasing of property, plant and equipment are considered as fixed factors.

In this case, Avalon is considering to move to a larger space which will result in significant increae in fixed cost. Hence it is fixed factor and is long run decision. Hence Option A is correct here.
