The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts as employed people who work part-time, but would prefer to work full-time. Suppose the people who had part-time jobs, but wanted full-time jobs, were counted as unemployed. Explain how the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate would change.
Answer:
The labor participation rate would not change because it counts the labor force as a percentage of the total adult population, and the labor force includes both the number of people employed and the number of people unemployed, so, even if those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, they would still be part of the Labor Force.
The labor participation rate formula is:
Labor Participation Rate = (Labor Force / Total Adult Population) x 100
The unemployment rate would indeed change, because it counts the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force. If those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, the number of people unemployed would obviously spike.
The formula is:
Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed / Labor Force) x 100

Lacy set her textbook under her chair in her business law class and then forgot to take it with her when she left the classroom. A janitor later discovered the textbook and gave it to the Dean of the Business College. In this situation:___________.a. the college is a constructive bailee, obligated to return the textbook to Lacy, and until it does, it is liable for harm to the property.b. the college is a bailee by agreement because holding items in a lost and found box is generally part of the college-student agreement when the student enrolls for classes.c. the college is responsible for the discovered textbook because in this situation, the college is subject to implied warranties unless the college has disclaimed such warranties in the student handbook.d. this is a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee.
Answer:
a. the college is a constructive bailee, obligated to return the textbook to Lacy, and until it does, it is liable for harm to the property.
Explanation:
When a party comes into possession of a property not by contractual agreement, they are referred to as constructive bailee and are obligated to take care of the property till it is returned to the owner.
The bailee does not willingly take possession of the property, rather unforseen circumstances leads to them possessing it.
This is common when a person forgets his property in a place.
In the given scenario the college (Dean of Business College) became a constructive bailee when they recieved the misplaced textbook. So they are obligated to care for the textbook till it get back to Lacy or be held liable for any harm done

A firm has a tax burden of 0.6, a leverage ratio of 1.2, an interest burden of 0.7, and a return-on-sales ratio of 14%. The firm generates $2.64 in sales per dollar of assets. What is the firm's ROE
Answer:
18.63%
Explanation:
Calculation for the firm's ROE
Using this formula for
ROE=(Tax burden)(Leverage ratio)(Interest burden)(Return-on-sales ratio)(Sales per dollar of assets)
Let plug in the formula
ROE = (.6)(1.2)(.7)(.14)(2.64)
ROE=18.63%
Therefore the firm's ROE is 18.63%
Monopoly firms face a. downward-sloping demand curves, so they can sell only the specific price-quantity combinations that lie on the demand curve. b. horizontal demand curves, so they can sell only a limited quantity of output at each price. c. horizontal demand curves, so they can sell as much output as they desire at the market price. d. downward-sloping demand curves, so they can sell as much output as they desire at the market price.
Answer:
Option d (downward..................................market price) would be the right approach.
Explanation:
The monopoly is attributed to the idea that an organization and therefore its distribution channels control one market or business. Monopolies may be called a social consequence of unlimited access competition and therefore are frequently further used to characterize an organization that had already absolute or relatively close market power.Other options aren't connected to something like the situation in question. So the above alternative seems to be the right one.
Target Corporation reported the following information in a recent Form 10-K. Consolidated Statement of Operations ($ millions) FY 2016 Cost of sales $67,596 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position ($ millions) FY 2016 FY 2015 Inventory $10,321 $8,282
What is the (a) inventory turnover ratio, and (b) average days in inventory, for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. inventory turnover ratio
This will be calculated as:
= Sales cost / Average inventory
= $67,596 / $9301.50
= 7.2672
= 7.27
(b) average days in inventory.
This will be calculated as:
= 365 days / Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 / 7.27
= 50.20
= 50 days
Note:
Average inventory = ($10,321 + $8,282) / 2 = $9301.50
In ________, salespeople are independent contractors who not only sell the product, but also recruit additional salespeople.
Answer:
Multi-level marketing.
Explanation:
A business organization that is run with multi-level marketing strategy typically has 3 sources of income:
- The amount of money that each person have to pay in order to gain the membership status.
- The amount of money that memberships owners have to pay to be a distributor of their product
- The amount of money that they get from the sales of their product.
Most multi-level marketing companies will provide their members with some sort of 'Reward' if they managed to convert other people into purchasing memberships to organization. So, the more their members convert other people, the more wealthy that members will be. This will create a hierarchy like within an organization where the members who bring the most memberships place at the top of the hierarchy.
The money demand function for an economy is given by (M/P)d = (0.6Y)/(i1/2). If output is 1,000 units, the nominal interest rate is 9%, and the money supply is $1,200, the price level is _____.
Answer:
$0.6
Explanation:
Nominal interest rate (i) = 9% = 0.09
Output (Y) = 1,000
Money supply(M) = 1,200
==> (M/P)^d = (0.6Y) / i^(1/2)
==> 1200/P = 0.6*1000 / 0.09^(1/2)
==> 1200/P = 600 / 0.3
==> 1200/P = 2000
==> 1200 = 2000 * P
==> P = 1200/2000
==> P = $0.6
Therefore, the price level is $0.6
