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%

A company must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 13,000 defective units t
Nastasia [14]

Answer: $67,600 and $2600

Explanation:

Total unit = 13,000

Defective unit cost = $5.20

Resale price = $3.00

Reworked = $5.00

Full price = $8.20

Opportunity cost

= Full price - replacement unit

= 8.20 - 5.20

= 3.00

= . Cost of reselling

= 13,000 × 3.00

= $39,000

1. Cost of defective units

= 13,000 × 5.20

= $67,600

2. Cost of reworked

= $5.00 × 13,000

= $65,000

3. Full price

= 13,000 × $8.20

= $106,600

B. Incremental income of selling the unit as scrap and reworked

Scarp = $67, 600

Reworked = $(106600 -39, 000- 65,000)

= $2600

A bond with a coupon rate of 7% makes semiannual coupon payments on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Wall Street Journal
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The invoice price of the bond will be $100,127.88

Explanation:

Bonds are nothing but the debt instrument which a company uses to raise capital from the general public, these bonds can be of both short and long term period.

In the question it is given that bond has a coupon period of 182 days which means the bond is of short term period. Coupon rate of 7% means the bond gives the interest of 7% to its holder semiannually every year on January 15 and July 15.

It is given that the ask price for the bond on January 30 is 100.125 percent on par value of the bond which we are assuming to be $1000, which means the ask price is

$1000 X 100.125 = $100,125    ( ASK PRICE)

now we have to calculate the interest, remember the semiannually payment of interest has already been made on January 15 which means we have to find interest for only 15 days which will be taken out on par value

INTEREST = $1000 x 7% x 15 / 30

                 = $1000 x .07 x 1/ 2

                 = $35

INVOICE PRICE = INTEREST X \frac{TOTAL \: NUMBER \: OF \: DAYS}{COUPON \: PERIOD}   + Ask price

        =  $35 X 15 / 182

        = $2.884

Now adding this amount in to ask price

$100,125 + $2.884

= $100,127.88  ( INVOICE PRICE)

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The Answer is given below

Explanation:

a. Common Stock $600,000

b. Paid in capital  in excess of par value  $180,000

c. Retained Earnings= ($200,000-($600,000*15%))=$110,000

d. Total Stockholders' Equity= $180,000+$600,000+$110,000=$890,000

Please note that dividend is paid on par value which is $10*15%=1.5 per share.

Total shares*dividend per share=total dividend paid

1.5*($600,000/10)=$90,000

or $600,000*15%=$90,000

Therefore dividend of $90,000 is deducted from retained earnings
