1. An economy has a total of 320 units of labor and 80 units of capital to use on
the production of 2 goods. The production functions for the goods are a function
of the labor and capital used in each process. Specifically,

x=F(l_x, K_x)= (l_x* K_x)^1/2
y = G(l_y, K_y)^1/2l

a) Find the production of each good if x is given 40 labor and 40 capital y has the
rest of the resources. Find the specific value of the RTS for each production
process with the current distribution of resources. Use this information to help you
re-allocate the resources in a way that leads to more of both goods being
produced. Explains why this proves the first (x,y) in this problem is not a point on
the PPF for this economy. there are many correct ways to redistribute the
resources.)

c) Explain why at any point on the PPF, each firm always has 4 times more labor
than capital.

d. If (c) is correct, then both the quantity of x and y can be written solely as a
function of K_x. Find these functions, then use them to prove that the PPF function
for this economy is y = 800 – 5x.

Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 months of 2017, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:

Cost of goods sold was 77% variable and 23% fixed; operating expenses were 87% variable and 13% fixed.

In September, Moonbeam Company receives a special order for 24,400 toasters at $8.38 each from Luna Company of Ciudad Juarez. Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $3,100 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed costs.

(a)

Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order. (Round computations for per unit cost to 4 decimal places, e.g. 15.2500 and all other computations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar, e.g. 5,725. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Consider a hypothetical economy characterized by the following equations (all variables as defined in class).
Consumption: C = 700 + 0.95Y Investment: I=500− 30i Government spending: G=50 Money demand: L(i,Y )=0.75Y − 30i Money supply: Ms/P=400

(a) What is the equation of the IS curve?

(b) What is the equation for the LM curve? (c)

Solve for the equilibrium values of income (Y) and interest rates (i).

(d) Assume that the government engages in expansionary fiscal policy by increasing expenditure to G = 100. Solve for the new equilibrium values of income (Y) and interest rates (i). Illustrate your answer in a graph.

(e) Assume that instead of the expansionary fiscal policy in part (d) above, that the Monetary Authority (The Central Bank) engages in expansionary monetary policy by increasing the money supply by 100 to Ms/P = 500. Solve for the new equilibrium values of income (Y) and interest rates (i) in this case. Illustrate your answer in a graph.

(f) Which of the policies from parts (d) and (e) above would be the most effective expansionary policy ? Explain.

(g) Say that the government engaged in both of the policies of parts (d) and (e) simultaneously. Would this policy mix be more or less expansionary than the individual policies?

(h) Suppose that money demand in this economy was observed to be income insensitive so that it was now represented by L(i, Y ) = L(i) = 600 − 30i. In this case, which of the policies from parts (d) and (e) above would be the most effective expansionary policy? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of “crowding out”.

(i) Lastly, returning to the original model as in part (a), suppose that investment was now determined to be interest insensitive such that it could be represented by I = 600. In this case, which of the policies from parts (d) and (e) above would be the most effective expansionary policy? Explain this answer in terms of “crowding out ”.
