1.The empirical tit of ttte production model: The table below reports per capita GDP and capital per person in the year 2014 for 10 countries. Your task is to fill in the missing columns of the table.

a.Given the values in columns 1 and 2, fill in columns 3 and 4. That is, compute per capiiz GDP and capital per person relative to the U.S. values.

b.In column 5, use the production model (with a capital exponent of 1/3) to compute predicted per capita GDP for each c‹runtry relative to the United States, assuming there are no TFP differences.

c.In column 6, compute the level of TFP for each country that is needed to match up the model and the data.

d.Comment on the general results you find.

1. The profits of Du Pont de Nemours and Company in 1997 were
about $24 billion Does this mean that Du Pont’s economic profit equaled $24
billion? Why or why not?

2. If the demand curve for wheat in the United States is P =
124 – 4QD where P is the farm price of wheat (in dollars per bushel) and QD is
the quantity of wheat demanded (in billions of bushels), and the supply curve
for wheat in the United States is P = -26 + 2QS, where QS of the quantity of
wheat supplied (in billions of bushels), what is the equilibrium price of
wheat? What is the equilibrium quantity of wheat sold? Must the actual price
equal the equilibrium price? Why or why not?

3. The Mineola Corporation hires a consultant to estimate
the relationship between its profits and its output The consultant reports
that the relationship is

π = -10 – 6Q + 55Q2 – 2Q3 + 025Q4

to maximize profit Is it true that dπ/dQ = 0 when Q=1? Is π
at a maximum when Q = 1?

b Mineola’s executive vice president says that the firm’s
profit is a maximum when Q=2 Is this true?

Corporation, would you accept the consultant’s estimate of the relationship
between profit and output as correct?

Respond to at least one of your classmates' postings.

Also, there is answer for a student that requires a response:
Contract administration guidelines for public infrastructure projects in the United States and Saudi Arabia:
International construction, where contractors perform works in foreign countries, poses cultural and contractual risks resulting from the dissimilarities in social and legal outlooks. One of the major risks that leads to disputes in such international projects is poor contract administration. Research has been focused toward the cultural risks and ex-post dispute resolution in international construction, missing the important ex-ante dispute avoidance aspect. This paper addresses this knowledge gap with a special focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which is the largest economy in the Middle East and North Africa. The paper does so by providing in-depth—yet practical—contract administration guidelines for U.S.

Sandrine Machinery is a Swiss multinational manufacturing company. Currently, Sandrine's financial planners are considering undertaking a 1-year project in the United States. The project's expected dollar-denominated cash flows consist of an initial investment of $2000 and a cash inflow the following year of $2400. Sandrine estimates that its risk-adjusted cost of capital is 12%. Currently, 1 U.S. dollar will buy 0.7 Swiss franc. In addition, 1-year risk-free securities in the United States are yielding 7%, while similar securities in Switzerland are yielding 4.5%. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the questions below. Do not round intermediate calculations.

1. If this project was instead undertaken by a similar U.S.-based company with the same risk-adjusted cost of capital, what would be the net present value and rate of return generated by this project? Round your answers to two decimal places.

   NPV = $  

   Rate of return = %

2. What is the expected forward exchange rate 1 year from now? Round your answer to two decimal places.

   SF per U.S. $

3. If Sandrine undertakes the project, what is the net present value and rate of return of the project for Sandrine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

   NPV =  Swiss Francs

   Rate of return = %

*Excel formulas needed* A U.S.-based firm is considering a six- year project in Colombia. The following information is available about the project: Initial investment. The initial investment of USD 750,000 is used to purchase capital equipment. This equipment will be depreciated straight line to zero. At the end of six years, the remaining equipment will be sold for Colombian Peso (COP) 25,000,000. Working capital. The investment in working capital is COP 100,000,000. There are no changes in working capital until the end of the project when the full amount is recovered. Units, price, and costs. The firm will produce 2000 units of a product annually. The selling price is expected to be COP 599000 in the first year. This price is expected to increase at a rate of 4 percent annually. The direct expense per unit is expected to be COP 200000 in the first year. This is expected to increase at a rate of 5 percent annually. Indirect expenses are expected to be COP 50,000,000 annually. Taxes and miscellaneous. Colombian taxes on income and capital gains are 34 percent. There are no additional withholding taxes. All cash flows are repatriated when generated, and there are no additional U.S. taxes. The parity conditions are assumed to hold between Colombia and the United States. The relevant inflation indexes indicate a rate of 3 percent for the United States and 6 percent for Colombia. Spot USDCOP equals 3300. Brady’s USD denominated WACC is 12 percent.

a. Calculate COP cash flows
