Answer: 5%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate = Number unemployed / Labor force * 100%

The number of people who are unemployed are:

= Labor force - Employed people

= 800,000 - 760,000

= 40,000 people

Unemployment rate = 40,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 5%

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: a. $5.50

b. $6.1

c. $3,500,000

Explanation:

a. From the question, we are informed that Hawar International is a shipping firm with a current share price of $5.50 and 10 million shares outstanding and that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares.

We are informed that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares. This is a transaction and therefore, the value if the share won't be changed. So, the value for the share will still be $5.50.

b. If the only imperfection is corporate tax rate of 30%, the share price after this announcement will be:

= [30% × (20million/10million)] + $5.50

= [0.3 × 2] + $5.50

= $0.6 + $5.50

= $6.1

Therefore, the share price be after this announcement will be $6.1.

c. If the share price rises to $5.75 after this announcement, the PV of financial distress costs Hawar will incur as the result of this new debt will be:

= ($6.1 - $5.75) × 10,000,000

= $0.35 × 10,000,000

= $3,500,000

Buyer Maria and seller Doug are closing on June 1. Maria’s mortgage loan is $927.86, and $871.86 will go to interest in the firs
ikadub [295]

Answer:

$842.74

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Loan amount = $927.86

Interest for the first month = $871.86

Now,

Daily interest rate for 30 days =  \frac{\textup{Interest for a month}}{\textup{Total number of days in a month}}

or

=  \frac{\$871.86}{30}

=  $29.06

Now,

Doug owns the closing day,

Therefore,

Maria will pre-pay interest for 29 days i.e June 2 - 30,

= Daily interest × Number of days

= $29.06 × 29

= $842.74

MissTica

Answer:

1

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry

In a  monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold

In an oligopoly, there are few large firms

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The overhead cost assigned to each unit of product B is $46.2 per unit.

Explanation:

Overhead absorbed in each product B can be calculated as under:

Overhead Absorbed = Overhead Absorption Rate * Absorption Basis

Here in this question, the absorption basis is Direct labor hours. So the direct labor hour per unit of Product B is 0.7 Hr and the OAR is $66.

By putting values in the above equation, we have:

Overhead Absorbed = $66 per unit * 0.7Hrs = $46.2 per unit
