    9.09% and 5.263%

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    a. The current rate of unemployment is

    = Number of Unemployed people : labor force

    = 10 : 110

    = 9.09%

    b. The natural rate of unemployment is

    = Separation rate : Separation rate + finding rate

    = 0.01 : 0.01 + 0.18

    = 0.01 : 0.19

    = 5.263%

    These both should be expressed in a percentage forms
