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: $112000
Explanation:
First, we calculate the book value in year 7 which will be:
= Depreciation × Balance life
= $400,000 × 3/10
= $120,000
Then, the cash flow as a result of the transaction will be:
= Asset sale - (Asset - Book value) × Tax rate
= 110000 - [(110000 - 120000) × 20%]
= 110000 - (-2000)
= 110000 + 2000
= 112000
Answer: 1300
Explanation:
From the equation,
Qxs = 200 + 4Px - 3Py - 5Pw
where
Px = price of X = 500
Py = price of y = 250
Pw = price of input w = 30
Putting the figures back into the supply equation, we have:
Qxs = 200 + 4Px - 3Py - 5Pw
= 200 + 4(500) - 3(250) - 150
= 200 + 2000 - 750 -150
Qxs = 1300
Answer:
$3,606.49
Explanation:
the price of a zero coupon bond = maturity value / (1 + i)ⁿ
- maturity value = $10,000
- i = 6.09% / 2 = 3.045% semiannual interest rate
- n = 17 years x 2 semiannual compounding = 34 periods
the price of a zero coupon bond = $10,000 / (1 + 3.045%)³⁴ = $10,000 / 1.03045³⁴ = $10,000 / 2.772779928 = $3,606.49
the formula we used to determine the market price of a zero coupon bond is basically the present value
Answer: $107,900
Explanation:
Cumulative Preferred Shares refer to shares that a company has to pay dividends eventually. This means that if they are unable to pay for some years, they are to accrue that payment until they are able to.
There are 119000 shares of no-par 6% preferred stock with a stated value of $5.
That means preferred shares are liable to the following amount of dividends,
= 119,000 * 5 * 6%
= $35,700
Preferred Shares have not being paid for the past 2 years and need to be paid in the current year as well. That means 3 payments,
= 35,700 * 3
= $107,100
Preferred Shares are to be paid $107,100 out of the $215,000 with the rest going to common shares.
Amount going to Common Shares is,
= 215,000 - 107,100
= $107,900
Common Stockholders are to receive $107,900
