PumpkinPlus is a profit-maximizing firm that produces a carving tool using labor and materials according to a production function for which both labor and materials are normal inputs. PumpkinPlus faces a downward-sloping demand curve for carving tools. Say the wage rate rises. What changes do you predict in the use of labor, the use of materials, the number of tools produced, the price per carving tool, and the profit earned by the firm in the long run? Explain your reasoning and mention why you may not be able to predict the direction of certain changes. Provide a sketch of an isoquant/isocost line diagram and a diagram showing demand, marginal revenue, average total cost, and marginal cost to illustrate the old and new amounts of each variable listed.

While both men and women produce estrogen to regulate various body systems, women experience a profound decrease in estrogen production later in life. The sudden decrease triggers a host of physiological changes that are collectively referred to as menopause.
What organ is responsible for this loss of estrogen in women? What effect does this have on the body? One effect has to do with bone regulation and women can experience osteoporosis. What can be done to minimize the impacts of a sudden reduction in estrogen? What dangers does this therapy involve?

Volusia, Inc. is a U.S.-based exporting firm that expects to receive payments denominated in both euros and Canadian dollars in one month. Based on today's spot rates, the dollar value of the funds to be received is estimated at $500,000 for the euros and $300,000 for the Canadian dollars. Based on data for the last fifty months, Volusia estimates the standard deviation of monthly percentage changes to be 8 percent for the euro and 3 percent for the Canadian dollar. The correlation coefficient between the euro and the Canadian dollar is 0.30. Assuming an expected percentage change of 0 percent for each currency during the next month, what is the maximum one-month loss of the currency portfolio? Use a 95 percent confidence level and assume the monthly percentage changes for each currency are normally distributed

The Open Economy Model
Assume that in a small open economy with full employment, consumption depends only on disposable income. National saving is 300, investment is given by I = 400 – 20r, where r is the real interest rate in percent, and the world interest rate is 10 percent.
If government spending rises by 100, does investment change? What is the level of investment after the change?
Does the trade balance change if G rises by 100? If it changes, does it increase or decrease, and by how much?
Does net capital outflow change if G rises by 100? If it changes, does it increase or decrease, and by how much?
Will the real exchange rate rise, fall, or remain constant as a result of the change in G? Show it in a graph, and explain the results.
