(i) Brazil’s national income is about $300 billion. What is the approximate dollar income of the bottom 20%? Bottom 40%?

(ii) Suppose one percent of national income were transferred from the richest 20% of households to the poorest 20% of households. In the context of the Lorenz curve, would we see an increase in the Lorenz curve or a decrease? Briefly explain you answer.

(iii) Given the information in the table above, calculate the Kuznets ratio for Brazil.

You are a consultant to a mid-sized manufacturing corporation that is considering an investment project. The project requires an initial investment of $100 million and will generate an after tax cash of $20 million in the first year and the cash flow will increase 5% thereafter every year (Please note that this is a constant growing cash flow).The project’s beta is 1.5. Assuming that rf=5% and E ( rM ) = 12%, Please answer the following questions.

What is the net present value of the project ?
What is the highest possible discount rate for the project before its NPV becomes negative ?
What is the highest possible beta estimate for the project before its NPV becomes negative ?
