You work for a very large engineering consulting firm. You have been asked to look at the viability of the company purchasing a private jet to fly staff to project sites around the world. A new Gulfstream G450 currently costs $40,000,000. Assume a 15-year service life, a salvage value of $24,000,000, annual costs of $2,500,000/year, and annual benefits of $3,500,000/year (time saved, increased business), a corporate tax rate of 40%, a CCA rate of 25%, and an after-tax MARR of 8% per year, compounded annually.

What is the after-tax net present value of this investment?

1. According to the classical economists how does inflation come about?

2. Explain three causes of inflation and why it may be is undesirable.

1. If the Federal Reserve decreases the money supply to raise the federal funds rate, ceteris paribus, then

a. The value of the U.S. dollar will increase in foreign exchange markets

b. Economic output will increase

c. The economy will experience inflation

d. The unemployment rate will fall

e. The value of the U.S. dollar will decrease in foreign exchange markets

2. When the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is steeper, expansionary monetary policy ________ in the short run, and when the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is flatter, expansionary monetary policy __________ in the short run.

a. has no effect on output; has no effect on prices.

b. has an effect on output that is equal to the effect on prices; has an effect on prices that is equal to the effect on output

c. has a larger effect on prices than on output; has a larger effect on output than on prices.
d. has no effect on prices or output

e. has a larger effect on output than prices; has a larger effect on prices than output

You are to construct a production possibilities frontier from 2 grocery stores based on the available milk and eggs (you choose which particular milk product and which particular egg product you use). Use the total quantity of milk as the intersection for the vertical axis and the total quantity of eggs as the intersection for the horizontal axis. Connect those points to form your production possibilities frontier, one graph for each store. Determine the opportunity costs of milk in terms of eggs from your production possibilities graph. Describe your production possibilities frontier. Identify on the curve and then explain the unattainable, efficient, and inefficient areas of production. Discuss the concept of increasing opportunity costs and identify whether the opportunity costs from your graph exhibit increasing opportunity costs. Illustrate, based on the opportunity costs for each store, how specialization and trade can lead to a mutually beneficial outcome.

In the absence of direct externalities, common property and public goods, discuss the optimality of free markets.

Did this paper make you realize something that you had not before?

Is the paper making any strong assumptions that you disagree with? If yes, what, according to you, will be a more plausible alternative assumption?

If there was one thing you could change about the model, what would that be? Will that make the model intractable?

For the "Theory of Rational Addiction" article by Becker and Murphy

What is the main question/behaviour that the paper models?

What are the costs and benefits of that behaviour for different agents in the model?

Conclusion of the model?

Many reasons for why the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union have been proposed. A common one is that imports from the EU hurt low-skilled British workers. Suppose that there are two industries, financial services and manufacturing. Further assume that there are two factors of production, low- skilled and high-skilled workers, and that finance is high-skill intensive and manufacturing is low-skill intensive. Further assume that the United Kingdom is abundant in high-skill labour.

a) Show using the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade how relative wages for low-skilled and high-skilled workers are determined when the UK is a member of the EU (i.e. when there is free trade between the UK and the rest of the EU). Explain your answer.

b) Describe also how the relative output of financial services versus manufacturing in the UK changes with Brexit. Explain your answer.
