4. Given the changes stated, predict new market equilibrium price and quantity demanded. For each question below, show your answer on a well-labeled supply-demand graph.

(a) Housing Market: Price of lumbers has decreased sharply and, at the same time, mortgage rate has decreased to an all-time low.

(b) Electronics Market: Consumers expect a recession (e.g. a sluggish economy) and, at the same time, electronics product producers become less productive.

(c) Airline Tickets: A long-cold winter is finally over and hotels and resorts are offering big discounts.

(d) Automobile: Trade restrictions limit auto companies’ ability to import auto parts.

1. Describe and briefly explain whether the following changes cause the short-run aggregate supply to

increase, decrease or neither:

a. The price level increases

b. Input prices decrease

c. Firms and workers expect the price level to fall.

d. The price level decreases

e. New policies increase the cost for businesses of meeting government regulations.

f. The number of workers in the labor force increases.

2. Describe and briefly explain whether the following changes cause the aggregate demand to increase,

decrease or neither:

a. The price level increases

b. Investment decreases

c. Imports increase and exports decrease

d. Consumer optimism improves

e. Government increases infrastructure spending

3. Starting in early March of 2020, many factories, restaurants, offices and entertainment venues closed

their doors fearing the spread of Coronavirus. Using aggregate demand-aggregate supply model, predict

which curve this event mostly affects and what’s the impact on the US economy in the short-run?

4. From 2014 to 2018, dollar has been slowly falling against other major currencies.

a. Determine how the falling value of the dollar affects the US price level, real GDP and the

unemployment rate in both short-run and the long-run. You can assume that the economy was in the

long-run equilibrium before this change, and consider only the stated event. Place your answers in the

boxes below (using an up arrow, a down arrow, or a dash if the level is constant).

b. Draw a diagram that supports your answers in part (a). Clearly label all the curves and equilibria as

well as show the direction of changes using arrows.

•Describe the price-yield relationship of a fixed rate bond. Illustrate your explanation using changes in yields and the effect on bond prices.

•Explain the concept of duration and convexity. Discuss how bond features like coupon rates, maturities, credit risks, yields, duration, convexity and prices are related.

•What are the limitations of duration and convexity? Suggest ways that can mitigated or overcomethe limitation(s). How do they work?

•What are the types of treasury issues, the term structure of interest rate, risk-free rate, spot rate, forward rate and default or credit risk? How do they affectbond prices

Genetic adaption impacts all species and organisms over time. We can understand these changes by studying the physical anthropology and:

b) extinction, consolidation, ventral sufficiency

c) speciation, adaption, and extinction

d) extinction, targeted reproduction, speciation

How does the 6S RNA promote global changes in gene expression?

Assume your organization has the following inventory changes during the year.

Beginning inventory - 15 units valued at $10,000 each

February purchases - 13 units at $11,500 each

June purchases - 20 units at $12,000 each

Total units used - 42

calculate the value of then ending inventory and the value of the inventory used for the year, using both the FIFO and the LIFO method of cost flow

The global economy has seen significant changes since the banking crisis in 2008. Many economies have gone through large-scale austerity programs to reduce deficits. How has this affected the business organizational structure? How has employment and personal income been affected?
