Question 2 (a) A project in South Korea requires an initial investment of 2 billion South Korean won. The project is expected to generate net cash flows to the subsidiary of 3 billion and 4 billion won in the 2 years of operation, respectively. The project has no salvage value. The current value of the won is 1,100 won per U.S. dollar, and the value of the won is expected to remain constant over the next 2 years. (i). What is the NPV of this project if the required rate of return is 13 percent? (ii). Repeat the question, except assume that the value of the won is expected to be 1,200 won per U.S. dollar after 2 years. Further assume that the funds are blocked and that the parent company will only be able to remit them back to the United States in 2 years. How does this affect the NPV of the project?

Topic: You are an employee of an U.S. firm that produces personal computers in China and then exports them to the United States and other countries for sale. The personal computers were originally produced in China to take advantage of relatively low labor costs and a skilled workforce. Other possible locations considered at that time were India and Mexico. The U.S. government decides to impose punitive 100 percent ad valorem tariffs on imports of computers from China to punish the country for administrative trade barriers that restrict U.S. exports to China. How should your firm respond? What does this tell you about the use of targeted trade barriers?
Whose interests should be the paramount concern of government trade policy - the interests of producers (businesses and their employees) or those of consumers?

You are hired to investigate how much support there is for the new trade agreement among Canada, the United States and Mexico. You ask 16 business owners and 16 workers from each country how much they support the agreement on a scale of 1-50 (higher numbers mean more support). Below are the means for each group, and the ANOVA table. Please provide a full report for all the results from this 2-way ANOVA.

Each of the following events caused a shift in the AD or AS curve in Canada. Identify which curve was affected and describe the effect of equilibrium real GDP and the price level.
a) The end of the Cold War in 1990 led to large declines in Defense spending in many countries (including Canada)
b) The federal government and (many) provincial governments reduced corporate income-tax rates between 2000 and 2011.
c) The federal government increased its level of government purchases (G) in 2009 and 2010, amidst a global recession.
d) World commodity prices increased sharply from 2002 and 2008. Many of these commodities are both produced in Canada and used as important inputs for Canadian firms.
e) The beginning of a strong recovery in the United States in 2014 led to a large increase in the demand for many Canadian exports.
