The day after Pres. Trump was surprisingly elected in 2016, the US Treasuries yield curve got steeper. There was no change in short-term interest rates. Trump’s election surprised everyone. Trump, unlike his opponent Secretary Clinton, had promised a big tax cut. Why did the surprise election of a candidate who promised a big cut in taxes cause the yield curve to get steeper, even though it would be a full year before the tax cut bill was written, voted on, signed into law, and implemented? Would the effect on the yield curve have been the same if Trump’s election had been widely anticipated, rather than the surprise it was? Explain.

Suppose that the price of sugar, a major input for making Coca – Cola (Coke), decreased. Using two separate competitive supply/demand diagrams for Coke market, and Pepsi market, illustrate and briefly explain the probable effects of the decrease in the price of sugar: on equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantities, in the Coke and Pepsi market (assume Pepsi uses sweetener instead of sugar). What happens to the revenues of Coke, and Pepsi producers/sellers? [Hint: Coke and Pepsi are substitutes]. You may just explain in detail what happens to the demand/supply curves for Coca – Cola market and Pepsi market as well as corresponding equilibrium price and quantity

A plasma arc furnace is being considered for the incineration of medical wastes at a public hospital. The initial investment is $3,000,000 and annual revenues are expected to be $1,800,000 over the six-year life of the furnace. Annual expenses will be $1,000,000 at the end of year one and will increase by ($10,000 ) each year thereafter. The salvage value of the furnace after six years is $700,000. Assume MARR is 10%.What is the simple payback period of the furnace (in years), the discounted payback period of the furnace (in years), the PW of this furnace? Also,  Is it worth investing in this furnace? Why and What is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on this furnace? Try 10% and 20%, and then use the interpolation method to find the IRR. (50marks)

1. Given the demand function Q = 100 - 10P, where P corresponds to price, do the following:

1. Plot the respective demand function. Be sure to label your axes. For what price will Q = 0? When P = 0, what is Q?
2. Derive the expression for the own-price elasticity. Is the own-price elasticity constant along all points on the demand curve? What price range insures that the demand for Q is inelastic?
3. Derive the inverse demand function. That is, rewrite the demand function such that
