If a project costs $70000 and is expected to return $16000 annually, how long does it take to recover the initial investment? What would be the discounted payback period at i=14%?
Assume that the cash flows occur continuously throughout the year.
The payback period is ? years. (Round to one decimal place.) The discounted payback period at i=14% would be ? years. What are the ?'s

Suppose an economy under fixed (pegged) exchange rates is currently facing: (i) a balanced current account (NX = 0), (ii) a negative output gap (excess unemployment), and (iii) a balanced budget. (a) Using an NX/ (S-I) model depict the above situation in relation to the internal and external balance diagrammatically. (b) Now suppose as an advisor to the government your recommendation is to employ an expenditure-changing policy to attain the Internal Balance. Explain in details what this policy is made up and what the consequences of your recommendations will be. Show diagrammatically and explain fully. (c) In light of your answer to part (b) would you agree with this statement? “A trade deficit and low savings go hand in hand.” Evaluate fully. (d) Defend this proposition “attaining the two policy objectives of internal and external balance requires two polices”. Explain and illustrate diagrammatically.

A perfectly competitive firm has a production function ?(?1, ?2) = ?1?2. Input prices are given by ?1 = 2 and ?2 = 1.
a. Does this production function exhibit decreasing, constant, or increasing returns to scale?
b. In the short run, input factor 2 is fixed at x2=8 and the firm chooses the optimal input quantity x*1 to minimize the cost of producing output y=72. Derive x1*.
c. Calculate the costs cs associated with the above short-run solution.
d. In the long-run, the firm chooses the optimal input quantities x1* and x2* to minimize the cost of producing output y= 72. Write the Lagrangian function for this firm's long-run cost minimization problem.
e Derive the first order conditions for this firm's long-run cost minimization problem.

Label the following as true, false, or uncertain and explain your choice. (Uncertain means that it can be either true or false depending upon the circumstances.)
(a) All members of a resource cartel share a common objective, namely increase prices as much and as soon as possible.
(b) By holding prices lower than they would otherwise be, placing a price control on a depletable resource increases both the speed with which the resource is extracted over time and the cumulative amount ultimately extracted.
(c) A price control actually has no influence on the extraction path of a depletable resource until such time as the market price actually reaches the level of the price control.

Primarily, our discussions have been focused on the supply side of the basic economic model of supply and demand. We examined numerous models dealing with the matters of demand. This question is focused on the issues of supply. There are four basic industry formations: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly and monopoly. Each is a gradation of a number of factors, but primarily it is about the ability of an individual firm to control the environment in which it operates. The topic of this question is very simple. Please ‘line up’ each of the industries, and provide me with your list of those characteristics of each that are the same, and those that are different. You should list them if they are similarities between one or two industries, and if they are dissimilar across one or two industries as well. Please remember that similarities of the decision making that takes place in a firm in each industry, and identify which are similar and which are dissimilar, and why. You should be concerned with the long run and the short run when considering your answers. You will note, I’m sure that it is important to identify for each of the industry formations, what the short run and the long

. Taxes in Canada are one of the undeniable truths about our society. There are different kinds of taxes, however, and they are all onerous for those who are paying them. There are numerous opinions about the fairness and the unfairness of the taxes that we bear and those are identified by your authors in Chapter 12. It is important to understand why they believe that taxes are in need of reform. Please, first of all identify the reforms that are being discussed and analyzed. Then please provide me with the basis for your prioritizing them. In other words, which are ‘better’ and which are ‘worse’, from the point of view of a participant in the economy. You should consider that participant to be either a person who is earning salary or wages and a person who is earning income from a business.
