A company purchased new casting equipment at a cost of $250,000. The company also paid an extra $70,000 in necessary costs to have the equipment delivered and installed. The casting machine has an estimated service life of 10 years, and it will be depreciated at a CCA rate = 25%.

a] What is the Cost Basis of the casting equipment?

b] What will be the CCA amount each year for the service life of the casting equipment? Hint: the half-year rule applies by default.

Answer the questions with an essay of not more than 300 words : 2. Explain the short run and long run effects of the following events on output and price level with the AD-AS diagram: a. tax cuts b. money supply increases c. an increase in the price of key imported inputs d. a natural disaster that destroys a significant portion of production capacity e. a major technological innovation

1) Should Texas adopt a full-time legislative model instead of a part-time model? Why or why not? Be sure to use information from the readings notes to support your answer.

2)Should Texas remove the governor's line-item veto power and only give him the option of a full veto? Why or why not? Be sure to use information from the readings to support your answer.

3)Does Texas provide too much authority and power to local government? Should some things be more regulated by the state than the local governments? Why or why not? Be sure to use information from the readings to support your answer.

If P = -$500,000, Annual Income = +$10,000 per year, Salvage= +$700,000, and N = 10 years. Determine the Interest Rate

1. Suppose that the market demand is described by P = A – B(Q+q) where P is the market price, Q is the output of the incumbent firm, and q is the output of the potential entrant to the market. The incumbent’s total cost function is C(Q) = c1Q, whereas the cost function of the

entrant is C(q) = c2q+F.
a. If the entrant firm observes the incumbent producing Q* units of output and expects

this output level to be maintained, what output q will the entrant produce?
b. How much output would the incumbent firm have to produce to just keep the entrant

out of market?
c. If the entry occurs, does the incumbent firm really produce the output in part b?

Suppose that upon entry, these firms play a Cournot game.

1. The State of Florida currently budgets $10,000/year for two goods—voting machines (which cost $1,000 each) and voter education programs (which cost $500 each). Their wise governor, Jeb, knows his constituency well enough to know their indifference map over the two goods. Now, consider bundle A which consists of 5 voting machines and 10 education programs. The slope of Florida's indifference curve at bundle A is –3 (assume voting machines are on the horizontal axis).

a. Is this combination of goods the optimal bundle of goods for the State of Florida?

b. If so, explain why. If not, carefully explain how Florida can re-arrange its expenditures (i.e., choose another bundle) to reach a higher level of utility (you do not need to determine exactly which bundle they would choose).

c. Show how a $5,000 grant from the federal government would affect Florida's budget constraint. d. Suppose the federal government restricts the state to spend this $5,000 grant on voting machines only. Re-draw the state's budget constraint, reflecting this requirement.

2. Suppose that the demand curve of a good is vertical over a given range of prices. Draw the corresponding indifference curves and budget lines (assume the indifference curves of this good meets the four assumptions of preference, and the budget line is linear). Is this good a normal good? (Hint: draw the diagram of the process of getting a demand curve, figure out what substitution effect and income effect should be, and whether income effect is positive or negative.)

3. Jeff has a monthly income of $400, which he spends each month on dinners (which cost $20 each) and movies. He finds that he maximizes his utility by spending half his income on dinners and ha lf on movies. His marginal rate of substitution at this bundle of goods is 0.4 (measured with dinners on the horizontal axis).

a. Given this information, what is the price of movies?

b. Draw Jeff's budget constraint and indifference curve at this optimal bundle. Label both axes appropriately.

c. Write an equation—in slope- intercept form—for Jeff's budget constraint.

d. What is the opportunity cost, in terms of dinners, of an additional movie? e. Now suppose the price of dinners changes to $25. Show on your diagram how the budget constraint will change. Can Jeff still afford his initial bundle from part b?

“Universal Declaration of Human Rights”

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas the Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Jilly sells ice cream at the beach. You have determined that demand can be described by the following demand equation: Q = 1,200 - 200P. a. If P = $3.00, determine the number of ice cream sold and the elasticity of demand at this price. b. If price is increased to $4.00, determine the elasticity of demand at this new price. Is demand more or less elastic after the price increase?
