The town of Cypress Creek is preparing to go to war against the American government. To do this, it is building a giant satellite laser! To build the laser, the government of the town will resort to taxation to fund its expenditure. The initial economy of Cypress Creek can be expressed by the following agents:
Consumers, C = 25 + 0.95(Y-T)
Output, Y = 5000
Government expenditures, G = 2000
Taxation, T = 2000
Investors, I = 750-125r
Markets are fully competitive and the equilibrium condition for markets are:
Goods and service market: Y =C + I + G
Financial market: I = S
When it builds the Satellite, government and taxation change to
Government expenditures, G = 4000
Taxation, T = 4000
Hank Scorpio, the towns' founder, announces that "even by increasing government spending and taxation, we are not worst off, as production has not changed!"
Hank Scorpio makes another announcement "People of North Haverbrook! We must all work together in this to crush the American Government - I implore you to save you wages! Don't spend!"

Consider the following three models that a researcher suggests
might be a
reasonable model of stock market prices
yt = yt−1 + ut
yt = 0.5yt−1 + ut
yt = 0.8ut−1 + ut
(a) What classes of models are these examples of?
(b) What would the autocorrelation function for each of these
processes look
like? (You do not need to calculate the acf, simply consider what
shape it
might have given the class of model from which it is drawn.)
(c) Which model is more likely to represent stock market prices
from a
theoretical perspective, and why? If any of the three models
truly
represented the way stock market prices move, which could
potentially
be used to make money by forecasting future values of the
series?
(d) By making a series of successive substitutions or from your
knowledge of
the behaviour of these types of processes, consider the extent
of
persistence of shocks in the series in each case.

Suppose the market demand and supply functions are Qd=
32,000-20P and Qs=30P+750. You have just graduated and moved to
this city; as a new MBA and an entrepreneur, you are considering
entering the market for this product.
a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity in this market.
b. TC=5000+1000Q-12Q^2+0.08Q^3. Determine whether or not you should enter this market.
c. Due to unforeseen delays, you don’t enter the market. However, a year later the market supply has changed to Qs=30P+1500. Are you surprised at this shift in supply?
d. Given the new supply conditions, determine whether or not you should enter the market.
