1.Explain what is meant by government policy. What change in government policy occurred in Korea in the 1960 – 1980 time period? What impact had the change in policy on the savings rate?
2. Looking back over corporate, private (personal) and public savings rate, describe the trend in South Korea. What is the driver of savings for the Koreans? Consider the corporate, private (personal) and public savings rate.
A number of East-Asian nations have experienced significant economic growth, and the rapid nature of this growth rate has allowed them to be classified as Newly Industrialised Countries (NICs). South Korea is a prime example, and major NIC, since the 1960s
BACKGROUND Since World War II, South Korea has achieved an
incredible record of growth of per annum GDP growth of well over 9%
and integration into the high-tech modern world economy. An
extremely competitive education system and a highly skilled and
motivated workforce are two key factors driving this knowledge
economy. In recent years, Korea's economy moved away from the
centrally planned, government-directed investment model toward a
more marketoriented one. Economists are concerned that South
Korea's economic growth potential has fallen because of a rapidly
aging population and structural problems that are becoming
increasingly apparent.
1950s After World War II, South Korean policymakers set upon
stimulating economic growth by promoting indigenous industrial
firms, following the example of many other post-World War II
developing countries. The government selected firms in targeted
industries and gave them privileges to buy foreign currencies and
to borrow funds from banks at preferential rates. It also erected
tariff barriers and imposed a prohibition on manufacturing imports,
hoping that the protection would give domestic firms a chance to
improve productivity through learning-by-doing and importing
advanced technologies. However, unproductive profit-seeking
activities such as bribing were common which caused efficiency to
decrease and living standards to stagnate, providing a background
to the collapse of the First Republic in April 1960. With living
standards
1960s In the early 1960s, as a result of rapid industrialization
the government adopted of an outward-looking strategy. This
strategy was particularly well suited to that time because of South
Korea's poor natural resource endowment, low savings rate, and tiny
domestic market. In the 1960s, the Koreans saved about 10 percent
of their gross national product. In 1965, the national saving ratio
was 13.2%. The reason Koreans saved "so little" during a period of
rapid capital accumulation between 1962 and 1976 may have been a
consequence of government policy.
1970s - 1980s The increase in the national savings ratio was not
always smooth. The ratio reached a 28 percent level as early as
1977 but then slipped to 22 percent during 1980-82 with the
slowdown of economic growth, before rising sharply again. By 1986,
Korea was experiencing real growth of 12.9% and had achieved a
saving ratio of 33.1%. South Korea’s sustained growth boom resulted
in a national saving rate that was among the highest in the world.
The growth was attributable to increased use of productive inputs,
physical capital in particular, than to productivity advances. The
rapid capital accumulation was driven by an increasingly high
savings rate due to a falling dependency ratio, a lagged outcome of
rapidly falling mortality during the colonial period.
Saving rates sharply declined from 1989. The fall in Korea's saving
rates for this period can be attributed to lowered income growth
rates, rising inflation rates, and increased government budget
deficits. The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 exposed
longstanding weaknesses in South Korea's development model
including high public debt/equity ratios, massive foreign
borrowing, and an undisciplined financial sector. The decline in
gross savings rates fell from 36.6% in 1998 to 30.7% in 2008 due to
a dramatic decrease in personal savings.
Personal savings collapsed from 18.5% of GDP in 1998, to about 5%
between 2006 and 2008; the net personal savings rate was roughly
2.5% in 2008. Despite this trend in personal savings, gross savings
have remained durable due to economic expansion and income growth.
In the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis, increased risk and
uncertainty have increased precautionary savings by firms. The
demographic transition of the Korean population may have influenced
the savings rate. The life-cycle hypothesis posits that individuals
save during their working years and spend their savings after
retirement. Korea's population is rapidly ageing, rising the
old-age dependency
ratio - the number of dissavers is rising relative to the number of
savers, thus reducing aggregate savings. The rising old-age
dependency ratio has had a large impact on savings rates.

South Korea- based consumer electronics giant Samsung was accused by analysts of aggressively writing off some assets in the first quarter of 2019 to minimize its profits. Korea News Plus reported that the company engaged in "big bath" accounting (taking a large loss in an already-down time period). The company denied overstating the losses. Interestingly, in 2008 analysts accused the company of the same practice. In that year, the Korea Times reported that Samsung posted an operating loss much larger than was expected.
INSTRUCTIONS:
What future advantage might a company seek by booking even larger losses in an already weak quarter? How might readers of financial statements react when a company has been accused of "big bath" accounting more than once? How would a large asset write-off immediately affect the income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows?

The Appaloosa is an American horse breed known for its
distinctive spotted coat pattern. Predecessors of the Appaloosa can
be traced back to horses brought to America in the early 1600s by
Spanish explorers. The Nez Perce tribe in the Northwest became
widely recognized for their work in developing the Appaloosa
breed.
Appaloosa coat color is derived from a base color with an overlaid
spotting pattern. For example, a leopard coat pattern is considered
to be a mainly white body with dark spots that flow out over the
entire body. All spotting patterns on an Appaloosa are caused by
having at least one allele of a gene called the leopard-complex
gene.
However, Appaloosas show a wide range of spotting patterns: some
have spots that extend all over the body, some have spots limited
to the hip area, while others appear solid colored (and have only
mottled skin). This is thought to be due to the effects of a
separate gene that controls patterning.
Suppose that among Appaloosas that have genotype AA and display
spotting, night blindness occurs with probability 0.45; among
Appaloosas that have genotype AA and do not display spotting, night
blindness occurs with probability 0.08. About 9% of all Appaloosas
are genotype Aa, display spotting, and have night blindness. In
Appaloosas that are genotype aa and display spotting, night
blindness occurs with probability 0.12; 1% of Appaloosas that are
genotype aa and do not display spotting have night blindness.
Let B represent the event that an Appaloosa has night
blindness.
i. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected Appaloosa is
genotype AA and has night blindness.
ii. Given that an Appaloosa is genotype AA and has night blindness,
what is the probability that it exhibits spotting?
iii. If an Appaloosa is spotted and known to be genotype Aa, what
is the probability that it does not have night blindness?
iv. What is the probability that an Appaloosa has night blindness,
if it is known to be genotype aa?
