The coronavirus is currently wreaking havoc on the world economy. There are many reasons for this, so let’s simplify by focusing on just one. Suppose the primary effect of the coronavirus is to create “uncertainty”, which leads investors to increase their demand for “liquidity” (i.e., it increases the demand for money relative to other assets). Use the DD-AA model to show how this would affect the US economy. What happens to US output and the value of the dollar? US policymakers are currently debating whether to respond by cutting interest rate or increasing government spend- ing. Which of these policy responses would Canada favor? Which would China favor? (Hint: The Canadian dollar floats against the US dollar, whereas the RMB is pegged to the US dollar).

How Hauwei Might Handle the Latest US Sanctions
Author Name: Klint Finley
Publishing Date: June 21,2019
Publishing Platform: Wired
An article that I found extremely interesting was of a recent issue faced by a business in the United States named Huawei . Its a Chinese telecom hardware company. Huawei is China’s biggest phone maker and has recently been embroiled with the U.S. government concerning security threats. Huawei did business with many American corporations in the USA and provided cellular network gear to many companies in the USA. Yet, there was a security concern that China is using Huawei’s network for surveillance purposes.
That issue was quickly resolved after the U.S. government applied law and Constitution and banned all U.S. companies from doing business with Huawei keeping in mind the issue of national security. Using the provisions of the U.S. constitution, the government added Huawei to a list of companies that are considered a threat to U.S. national security. So Huawei is unable freely acquire U.S. technology and will have to seek U.S. government’s permission to do the same. The provisions of the Constitution with regards to national security have been used to put export restrictions on Huawei as well.
The US has been very concerned about some of these Chinese companies simply being trojan horses for China.
Another interesting area is mergers re international law, thanks for this post. Mergers are not as controversial as they used to be. My guess is that because so many companies compete globally now, we are not as concerned when they grow large!
Is that a good or bad development?

Cellphone Prices:
Analyzing Cost and Revenue
INTRODUCTION
Cost, revenue and profit functions may take parabolic forms. In many business and economics applications, our most important goal is to maximize revenue, profit or minimize cost. We may be able to find the price or the quantity of goods and services that maximizes profit, revenue and minimizes cost by using the quadratic formula and vertex formula.
The goal of this project is to enhance the understanding quadratic functions and how to find the maximum/minimum.
Question 1: If you have the chance to start a business, what business would you choose? Why?
Question 2: Starting and running a business requires time, effort, hard work and in particular money. What kind of costs do you expect to have to pay in order to start and run your business? Please list them and explain why you need them.
Question 3: Some costs are fixed, which are called fixed costs, such as equipments and buildings. Some cost are variable, which are called variable costs, such as labor and material. Please explain what costs in the Question 2 are fixed costs, and what are variable costs.
In general, the total cost consists of variable costs and fixed costs.
Question 4: In order to keep your business running, you need to make revenue. Revenue is the money that comes into the business from customers. Suppose you know the number of products your business sold and the price you sold them at, how can you calculate the revenue? What strategies could you use in order to increase your business’ revenue?
The revenue of a business may go up and down depending on many factors. For example a business that sells ice cream will likely make more money during hot summer months. The profit of your business is the difference of the revenue and the cost. That is,
Profit = Revenue - Cost.
If the profit is the positive, your business makes money. If the profit is negative, your business unfortunately makes a loss. If the profit is zero, that is the revenue is equal to the cost, it is called the break-even point.
Suppose that you were the CEO of a giant high technology corporation, Strawberry, Inc, manufacturer of the Strawberry Phone.
Question 5:
This month, you have estimated the demand for the Strawberry Phone to be:
Q = 220 - 4P
where Q is the quantity demanded, and P is the price of a Strawberry Phone.
The cost of producing a phone is constant at $12, which is called marginal cost. The fixed cost that includes the cost spent on the factory, the equipment, among others is $1525. As a result, you have a linear cost function,
C = FC + (MC Q),
Where C is the total cost, FC is the fixed cost, and the MC is the marginal cost, and Q is the quantity as before.
Answer the following questions.
What is the price that maximizes the corporation’s profit? (Hint: Profit = Revenue - Cost)
At what price does the corporation break even?
Question 6: From the two questions above, create a strategy to lower your cost and maximize your profit for the business you chose in question 1.
Essay: Write an essay that discusses the answers to the questions above include a detailed description of your business ideas and how it is possible to use maximization of quadratic functions to find the maximum profit.
