A closed container with a volume of 2 m3 contains 4 kg
of saturated liquid and saturated steam mixture water at 200 kPa
pressure. Heat is given from the ambient temperature of 160⁰C until
the water in the container is completely saturated. Note: T (K) =
273 + ºC
a) Find the entropy change of the system.
b) Find the heat transfer to the container.
c) Find the total entropy change.

A country is closed. It has no government sector, and its aggregate price levels and interest rates are fixed. Furthermore, the marginal propensity to consume is constant and the country's consumption function is as follows: C = 200 + 0.75YD, where YD is disposable income and C is consumption. Assume that planned investment equals 75.
1. If this country's income increased by $10,000, consumption would increase by:
2. Write the AE equation: AE = ____ + ____ YD
3. When real GDP equals $900 unplanned inventory investment is:
4. What is the income–expenditure equilibrium for this country?
5. Holding everything else constant, what is the change to the income-expenditure equilibrium if aggregate wealth decreases by $100?
6. Holding everything else constant, what is the change to the income-expenditure equilibrium if taxes increase by 100? (hint: think about how the change in taxes reduces consumption).

4. Imagine a gene promoter is located in “closed” chromatin – meaning the gene can’t be expressed – and you wish to turn on gene expression. Describe 3 changes you can make to the DNA (or proteins that interact with DNA) to turn on gene expression. (There may be more than 3 correct answers but you only need to give three.)
5. Imagine the opposite scenario to #4: a gene is currently actively expressed and you wish to turn OFF gene expression. What changes can you make to turn off this gene?

a) Calculate the general equilibrium values of the real interest rate and the price level.
b) Explain what general equilibrium means in the IS-LM framework and how it is attained.
c) What kind of a shock has the Covid-19 pandemic crisis led to in the economies?

Consider a two-period model of a closed economy with government. Assume that the representative agent is endowed with ?1 and ?2 as initial endowments in period 1 and period 2 respectively, and has the utility function ? = ln ?1 + ? ln ?2, where ?1 and ?2 denote consumption and ? is the discount rate. Suppose that the government spends ?1 and ?2 in period 1 and period 2 and finances its expenditure through lump-sum taxes ?1and ?2 in periods 1 and 2 respectively.
(i) Derive the inter-temporal budget constraints of the representative agent and the government. [5]
(ii) Suppose if government borrows ? units at the interest rate of ? to finance its expenditure in period 1, derive the amount of taxes that would satisfy its inter-temporal budget constraint. Explain whether Ricardian Equivalence holds in this situation. [15]

IS-LM closed economy – SR
The Economy of North Haverbrook is described by the following agents and characteristics.
consumers C = 50 + 0.85 (Y-T)
(taxes) T = 100
(government expenditures) G = 100
(investments) I = 500 – 50r
(money supply) M = 3,000
(price levels) P = 1
(money demand) L (r,Y) = Y – 10r
(potential output) Y* = 3200
The goods and services markets in equilibrium is described as: Y = AE, where AE = C + I + G, and money market is in equilibrium when M/P = L(r,Y).
