V. Rahr and Sons is a Fort Worth brewery founded by Fritz Rahr, a Neeley undergraduate and MBA. Currently the company makes Rahr Blonde Lager, Rahr’s Red, and Ugly Pug brews. They are considering a new beer, Frog Princess, with which to celebrate their ties to TCU. The project includes an initial outlay of $750,000 for the purchase of capital equipment that will be depreciated straight line to zero over six years.

Sales are expected to be $400,000 in years 1-3 and $600,000 in years 4-6. Production costs during years 1-6 are as follows: fixed costs (not including depreciation) are expected to be $150,000 per year; variable costs per year will be 40% of sales. The project will require an initial investment in NWC of 200,000 in year 0.

Beyond year six, the company expects that sales and unlevered net income in year seven will be 4% higher than that in year 6, and will continue growing at 4% per year infinitely. Additionally, in year 7 and beyond, new capital expenditures net of depreciation, and increases in NWC, combined, will be 6% of sales. Assume the marginal tax rate is 21%. The appropriate discount rate is 8%.

What is the NPV of the project? What is the IRR? Should the project be undertaken?

1. What is the nominal GDP in 2019?

2. What is the nominal GDP in 2020?

3. Assuming 2019 is the base year, calculate the price index for 2020. ROUNDING UP TO TWO DECIMAL POINTS. For Example, 2.136986 is rounded up to 2.14.

4. What is the real GDP in 2020?

5. What is the real rate of growth of GDP from 2019 to 2020?

6.  Assuming the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60 and the equilibrium GDP (Ye) is $5,000, calculate government multiplier. following:

In 2020 the United States will use some $10 trillion of manufactured goods as measured by the price level as it will be in 2020—producing $9 trillion and paying for the extra $1 trillion by exporting services. Let’s use that as our unit of the quantity of manufactures—$1 worth at 2020 prices is equal to one unit of manufactured goods. And let’s set our index of the price of manufactured goods in 2000 equal to 1.

Suppose the supply curve for manufactured goods has constant-returns-to-scale, with no producer having (much of) an opportunity cost advantage over any other.

Suppose the demand curve for manufactured goods is a straight line linear function such that an increase in the price from its 2000 value of 1 to a value of 2 would lead to a reduction in the quantity demanded by $1 trillion.

What will be the equilibrium price of manufactures in 2020?

Case 2: Reporting shareholders’ equity

Vinabread Ltd had the following equity account on 1 July 2020:

Share Capital (100,000 shares) 1,800,000

Retained Earnings $ 960,000

General Reserve $ 100,000

Vinabread Ltd’s profit for the year ending 30 June 2020, which has not been included in the retained earnings was $180,000. During the year, the following transactions and events occurred:

July 15, 2020 Declared and paid interim dividend of $0.50 per share.

July 30, 2020 Effected 3 for 1 share split,

June 30, 2021 Declared a final cash dividend of $0.30 per share and transferred $20,000 from retained earnings to general reserve.

Required: Prepare the equity section of the statement of financial position of Vinabread Ltd as at 30 June 2021.

Two large countries, the US and China, produce only two goods, manufactured goods and Financial services, using two factors of production, skilled and unskilled labour. The production of Financial services is relatively skill-labour intensive and manufacturing is unskilledlabour intensive. The US is relatively well endowed with skilled labour, whereas China is relatively well endowed with unskilled labour. Assume that each society's preferences over the two goods are identical.

(a) Draw the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for the US. Carefully explain the shape of the PPF. How will the PPF of China differ?

(b) Suppose there is no trade between the two countries. Explain why, in a competitive equilibrium, the relative price of Financial services must be lower in the US than in China.

(c) Explain why the neoclassical (Hecksher-Ohlin) theory of trade implies there must be an increase in the goods available for consumption in both countries as a result of opening to free trade. Does this imply that all households in each economy will gain from trade? Explain.

(d) Provide a coherent economic argument to justify a protectionist policy in China that imposes a tariff on Financial services from the US. What problems may arise in following such a strategy in the long run?

On January 1, 2017, Doone Corporation acquired 60 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Rockne Company for $528,000 consideration. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the 40 percent noncontrolling interest was $352,000 and Rockne's assets and liabilities had a collective net fair value of $880,000. Doone uses the equity method in its internal records to account for its investment in Rockne. Rockne reports net income of $330,000 in 2018. Since being acquired, Rockne has regularly supplied inventory to Doone at 25 percent more than cost. Sales to Doone amounted to $390,000 in 2017 and $490,000 in 2018. Approximately 35 percent of the inventory purchased during any one year is not used until the following year.

1. What is the noncontrolling interest's share of Rockne's 2018 income?
2. Prepare Doone's 2018 consolidation entries required by the intra-entity inventory transfers.
