In recent decades, economic inequality (both income inequality and wealth inequality) has become a prominent topic in American politics. How would you define income inequality? How is income inequality measured? What has happened to income inequality in the United States since the end of the Second World War in 1945? What evidence can you provide to support your answer? What are the reasons for the changes in income inequality since 1945.
What is wealth inequality and how does it differ from income inequality? Is wealth more or less equally distributed than income? Why do you suppose that is? What has happened to wealth inequality in the U.S. in recent years? What accounts for those changes?
Do you think the trend in economic inequality is a problem? Why or why not?

Some characteristics of the determinants of nominal interest rates are listed as follows. Identify the components (determinants) and the symbols associated with each characteristic:
|
Characteristic |
Component |
Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full. | ||
| This is the premium added to the equilibrium interest rate on a security that cannot be bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize loss. | ||
| As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Because interest rate changes are uncertain, this premium is added as a compensation for this uncertainty. | ||
| This is the rate for a short-term riskless security when inflation is expected to be zero. | ||
| This is the rate for a riskless security that is exposed to changes in inflation. | ||
| Over the past several years, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland have had lower interest rates than the United States due to lower values of this premium. |

We are evaluating a project that costs $756,000, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 67,000 units per year. Price per unit is $60, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $693,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 20 percent on this project.
a. Calculate the accounting break-even point.
b-1 Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV.
b-2 What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? ΔNPV/ΔQ
b-3 Calculate the change in NPV if sales were to drop by 500 units.
c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? ΔOCF/ΔVC $

Anna Wright is considering opening a Kwik Oil Change Center. She estimates the following monthly costs: rent $6,000; depreciation on equipment $7,000; and wages $16,400. Additionally, each oil change will include five quarts of oil at $1.80 per quart and one oil filter that will cost $3.00. She must also pay The Kwik Corporation a franchise fee of $1.40 per oil change. In addition, she has collected the following data from the company regarding utility costs. The total utility cost is based on the number of monthly oil changes.
| Month | Number of Oil Changes | Utility Cost |
| April | 4,000 | $6,000 |
| May | 6,000 | $7,300 |
| June | 9,000 | $9,600 |
| July | 12,000 | $12,600 |
| August | 19,000 | $15,000 |
