The population of a small country is growing 4.5% per year. If
in 1997 the population was 140 thousand, determine the exponential
expression for population as a function of the year. Letting t=0
correspond to 1997and find the population in 2008.
How much should be deposited today if it’s to accumulate to
$44,900 in 30 years, if the account bears interest at 7.5%
compounded monthly?
How long will it take an investment at 11.25% interest,
compounded continuously to quadruple?
When advertising is discontinued, sales decrease at a rate
proportional to sales at that instant. A magazine has an initial
circulation of 1.7 million and 2 years later decreases 14%. When
will circulation reach 850,000?
Exercise 1: Tariffs and ElasticityA country imports 5 billion tonnes of coal per year and
domestically produces another 4.5 billion tonnes of coal per year.
The world price of coal is $50 per tonne. Assuming linear
schedules, economists estimate the price elasticity of domestic
supply to be 0.3 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be
0.2 at the current equilibrium. Consider the changes in social
surplus that would result from imposition of a $20 per tonne import
fee...
Consider a population that begins growing exponentially at a
base rate of 4.8% per year and then follows a logistic growth
pattern. If the carrying capacity is 60 million, find the actual
fractional growth when the population is at 10 million, 30
million, and 50 million.
Suppose V is constant, M is growing 5% per year, Y is growing 2%
per year, and r = 4. a. Solve for i. b. If the Central bank
increases the money growth rate by 2 percentage points per year,
find Δi. c. Suppose the growth rate of Y falls to 1% per year. -
What will happen to π ? - What must the Fed do if
it wishes to π constant?
You run a small community or country and your primary output is
the growing of wheat and the sewing of socks. You are able to
produce both products for a low cost so your residents do not have
to pay very much for these two products. One day, another country
contacts you with the offer of the same products at an even lower
price. If you allow them entry into your community, your residents
will save money. However, those who...
(b) A less developed country with a rapidly expanding urban
population is concerned that its growing urban population will
eventually expand to a level where there would not be enough land
to grow the food it needs to support its population.
(i) Excluding importing food, propose a solution to address the
concerns of reduced land on which to grow food.
(ii) For your solution in (b)(i), explain an additional
potential advantage of the solution.
In
Monetaria real GDP is growing at 2% per year and the money supply
is growing at 5% per year. suppose that the velocity of the money
has been constant.
A) Find the Inflation Rate.
B) The nominal interest rate is 10%. Find the real interest
rate, assuming that inflation will remain the same.
C) Suppose you are a small hats retailer. To simplify the
analysis, lets assume that the only costs of doing business is
paying for the merchandise...
Suppose that the GDP of the country of Zambia is growing at 1%
each year. Also suppose that Zambia has a constant
velocity of money and it decides to print money at a much faster
rate increasing its money supply by 20%. Using the
quantity theory of money, what happens to the price level in Zambia
as a result of the printing of money? In other words, will
they have inflation? If so, how much? Explain.
