As a part of the stimulus package ($93 billion) was paid out in the form of tax credits . Use the parameters given in the table below and the equation of IS Curve to answer the following questions:

Autonomous Consumption (C) = $1.3 trillion mpc = 0.6

Autonomous Investment (I) = $1.2 trillion c = 0.1

Government Spending (G) = $3.0 trillion d = 0.2

Tax Revenue (T) = $3.0 trillion x = 0.1

Net Exports (NX) =1.3 trillion financial frictions (f) = 1

a) Calculate the goods market equilibrium output ( Hint: Use equation for IS Curve)

b) Calculate the good market equilibrium if there is tax cut of $93 billion. Interpret your result and provide economic intuition to support your result.

During the year, Belyk Paving Co. had sales of $2,395,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expense were $1,325,000, $615,000, and $444,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $269,000 and a tax rate of 23 percent. The company paid out $394,000 in cash dividends. Assume that net capital spending was zero, no new investments were made in net working capital, and no new stock was issued during the year. (Ignore any tax loss or carryforward provision and assume interest expense is fully deductible.)

Calculate the firm's net new long-term debt added during the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

If Dave’s Doors uses the First-in First-out (FIFO) costing system, it is assumed that the first units “available for sale” are the first units sold. Therefore, Dave’s will sell its beginning inventory first, then units that they purchased on 9/4, and then on 9/12 until they have accounted for the 45 units sold. Use the table for Dave’s FIFO Costing to complete the requirements below.

Dave’s FIFO Costing

Number of units

Cost per unit

Total Costs

Beginning Inventory – Sold First

Purchase made 9/4

Purchase made 9/12

Purchase made 9/18 – Sold Last

    Total units sold

45 units sold

Since the 45 units sold is more than the 24 in beginning inventory, we know that all 24 of the units in inventory were sold. Include the units, cost per unit and Total Costs for beginning inventory in the table above. Use the data in your table from 6) above.

How many doors would Dave’s have sold from the units they purchased on 9/4? _______ Include the units, Cost per unit and Total costs for this row in the table above.

Complete the table determining how many units from each purchase Dave’s would have sold until the total equals the 45 units. Total the column “Total Costs” Hint: The number of units for the 9/18 purchase will be less than the total number purchased on that date.

Write the journal entry to record Dave’s expense.

Assume Dave’s sold these doors to customers for $480 each. Write the journal entry to record Dave’s revenue.

What is Dave’s Gross Margin for the period under the FIFO costing method?

The value of ending inventory can be determined 2 ways. The first method is to subtract the COGS calculated from the “Cost of Goods Available for Sale”.

Cost of Goods Available for Sale           ______________ (2) from Table in 6)

minus COGS                                       - ______________ from 8d)

equals Ending Inventory                        ______________

The other method is to use the number of units in ending inventory and assign costs from the most recent purchases until the number of units have been accounted for. Here, we can assume that all these units come from the purchases made on 9/18. Calculate the ending inventory balance.

# of units in inventory   times   cost per unit (from 9/18 purchase) = ending inventory

   _____________             X              _____________           =      _______________

A soap company specializes in a luxury type of bath soap. The sales of this soap fluctuate between two levels — low and high — depending upon two factors: (1) whether they advertise and (2) the advertising and marketing of new products by competitors. The second factor is out of the company’s control, but it is trying to determine what its own advertising policy should be. For example, the marketing manager’s proposal is to advertise when sales are low but not to advertise when sales are high (a particular policy). Advertising in any quarter of a year has primary impact on sales in the following quarter. At the beginning of each quarter, the needed information is available to forecast accurately whether sales will be low or high that quarter and to decide whether to advertise that quarter.
The cost of advertising is $1 million for each quarter of a year in which it is done. When advertising is done during a quarter, the probability of having high sales the next quarter is 1/2 or 3/4 depending upon whether the current quarter’s sales are low or high. These probabilities go down to 1/4 or 1/2 when advertising is not done during the current quarter. The company’s quarterly profits (excluding advertising costs) are $4 million when sales are high but only $2 million when sales are low. Management now wants to determine the advertising policy that will maximize the company’s (long-run) expected average net profit (profit minus advertising costs) per quarter.
(a) Formulate this problem as a Markov decision process by identifying the states and decisions and then finding the Cik.
(b) Identify all the (stationary deterministic) policies. For each one, find the transition matrix and write an expression for the (long-run) expected average net profit per quarter in terms of the unknown steady-state probabilities ( π0,π1,L,πM).
(c) Formulate a linear programming model for finding an optimal policy.
(d) Use the policy improvement algorithm described in Supplement 1 to Chapter 19 to find an optimal policy when starting with an initial policy of never advertising.
