In Monetaria real GDP is growing at 2% per year and the money supply is growing at 5% per year. suppose that the velocity of the money has been constant.
A) Find the Inflation Rate.

B) The nominal interest rate is 10%. Find the real interest rate, assuming that inflation will remain the same.

C) Suppose you are a small hats retailer. To simplify the analysis, lets assume that the only costs of doing business is paying for the merchandise you are selling. Suppose that you need to pay for the hats in December 2019 and you sell them a year later in December 2020. (Realism is not the point) Suppose that the wholesale price of a hat is $10, you expect to be able to sell a hat for $12 in December 2020 and you need to borrow money to buy the hats.
What is the profit per hat? (Hint: The interest you pay on the loan is part of your costs).

D) Suppose that inflation rose unexpectedly to 10%. suppose that you are able to raise your prices by the additional inflation. The interest rate on your loan remains unchanged. Now what is your profit per hat?

Bonus) The profit per hat you computed changed with unexpected inflation, but the value of the money also changed. Compare the profit per hat under the 2 scenarios (Parts C and D) in 2019 dollars.

Alfred was divorced from Sarah Old in March 2016. Under the divorce agreement, Alfred is to pay Sarah $1,250 per month for the next 10 years or until Sarah's death, whichever occurs first. Alfred pays Sarah $15,000 in 2019. In addition, in January 2019, Alfred pays Sarah $50,000, which is designated as being for her share of the marital property. Also, Alfred is responsible for all prior years' income taxes. Sarah's Social Security number is 123-45-6788.

Alfred's salary for 2019 is $150,000. He is an executive working for Cherry, Inc. (Federal I.D. No. 98-7654321). As part of his compensation package, Cherry provides him with group term life insurance equal to twice his annual salary. His employer withheld $24,900 for Federal income taxes and $8,000 for state income taxes. The proper amounts were withheld for FICA taxes.

Beulah recently graduated from law school and is employed by Legal Aid Society, Inc. (Federal I.D. No. 11-1111111), as a public defender. She receives a salary of $42,000 in 2019.

Alfred and Beulah pay $4,500 interest and $1,450 property taxes on their personal residence in 2019. Their charitable contributions total $2,400 (all to their church). They paid sales taxes of $1,400, for which they maintain the receipts. Both spouses had health insurance for all of 2019 and they do not want to contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign.

Required:

Compute the Olds' net tax payable (or refund due) for 2019. Use Form 1040 and Schedule 1 to complete this tax return.

  • It may be necessary to complete the tax schedule and worksheet before completing Form 1040.
  • Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
  • If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0".
  • Make realistic assumptions about any missing data.
  • When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required round your final answers to the nearest dollar.
  • Use the 2019 Tax Rate Schedule provided. Do not use the Tax Tables.

Please answer with 2019 1040 tax form and Schedule 1

Consider a closed economy in which the population grows at the rate of 1% per year....

Consider a closed economy in which the population grows at the rate of 1% per year. The per-worker production function is y = 6 * ((K)^0.5), where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker. The depreciation rate of capital d is 14% per year.

a. Households consume 90% of income and save the remaining 10% of income. There is no government. What are the steady-state values of capital per worker, output per worker, consumption per worker, and investment per worker?

b. Suppose that the country wants to increase its steady state value of output per worker. What steady-state value of the capital-labor ratio is needed to double the steady-state value of output per capita? What fraction of income would households have to save to achieve a steady-state level of output per worker that is twice as high as in part (a)?

A hypothetical data shows that, in a year, of all the adult population, 20,500,000 were employed, 755,000 were unemployed, 45,000 were workers with part-time jobs looking for full-time jobs, 25,000 were discouraged workers and 8,500,000 were not in the labor force.

  1. Use the above information and calculate the labor force participation rate and the unemployment rate.
  2. Suppose that the natural rate of unemployment is 1.5 percent and the potential GDP is RM 850 billion, how much would be the actual GDP achieved in the above case?
  3. Suppose that 2,500,000 students graduated from higher education institutions and begin to look for jobs. Ceteris paribus, determine the new unemployment rate if none of the students have found jobs yet. How this will change your answer in (b)?
  4. Now suppose that 1,500,000 of the students whom graduated in (c) find jobs and the remaining are not yet employed. Ceteris paribus, determine the new unemployment rate. Clearly show your working for all calculations.
  5. Simulate a scenario in which both employment and unemployment could both possibly increase.

As part of an educational experiment a sample of sixteen Year 3 children was randomly divided into two groups, each of size eight.
The first group of eight children was taught arithmetic by the use of traditional procedures, whilst the second group of eight was taught arithmetic by newer modern methods.
At the end of the year all 16 children sat for an arithmetic achievement test, and also an arithmetic understanding test.
The marks(out of 100) obtained by the children are shown in the following tables.

Group 1 (Traditional) Group 2 (Modern)
Child Achievement Marks Understanding Marks Child Achievement Marks Understanding Marks
A 71 67 I 67 51
B 53 60 J 68 66
C 62 69 K 60 62
D 62 60 L 54 64
E 66 63 M 68 68
F 71 56 N 52 64
G 66 65 O 52 74
H 61 54 P 59 60

In answering the following questions you may assume that both achievement marks and understanding marks are normally distributed.

  1. To test whether there is a significant difference between the mean Achievement mark and the mean Understanding mark of children taught by the Modern method we would carry out ( A. A paired t test B. A two sample t test)

  2. To test whether there is a significant difference between the mean Achievement marks of children taught by the Traditional method and of children taught by the Modern method.  (A. A paired t test B. A two sample t test)

  3. To test whether there is a significant difference between the mean Achievement mark and the mean Understanding mark of children taught by the Traditional method we would carry out . (A. A paired t test B. A two sample t test)

  4. To test whether there is a significant difference between the mean Understanding marks of children taught by the Traditional method and of children taught by the Modern method. (A. A paired t test B. A two sample t test)
