He has searched the colleges and your name keeps coming up as one of the very best macroeconomic analysts in the country. After summoning you to the White House for a personal chat, you are convinced to take the offer and join the team.

-Your challenge is to design a three-point macroeconomic program to improve the economy of the United States within the next two years. It will include the monetary and fiscal policies you hope to implement.

What to do-

Two opposing opinions were shown to a random sample of 2,150 buyers of a particular political news app in the United States. The opinions, shown in a random order to each buyer, were as follows:

Opinion A: The issue of equal pay is more important than increasing the minimum wage.

Opinion B: Increasing the minimum wage is more important than the issue of equal pay. Buyers were to choose the opinion that most closely reflected their own. If they felt neutral on the topics, they were to choose a third option of "Neutral."

The outcomes were as follows: 50% chose Opinion A, 42% chose Opinion B, and 8% chose "Neutral."

Part A: Create and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all US buyers of this particular app who would have chosen Opinion B. (3 points)

Part B: The number of buyers that chose Opinion B and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion B are both greater than 10. Why must this inference condition be met? (3 points)

Part C: Would a two-sample z-interval for a difference between proportions be an appropriate procedure to find if the difference in proportions between US buyers who would have chosen Opinion B and US buyers who would have chosen Opinion A is statistically significant? Explain why or why not. (4 points)

What is the level of measurement of each of the following indicators? One word answers for each of the 10 items are desired-- nominal, ordinal, interval. (10 points)

A. In what state were you born?

B. ow satisfied are you with President Trump's reaction to North Korean missile launches? Are you very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, or somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied?

C. Do you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with the following statement: Should the United States preemptively strike North Korea with nuclear weapons?

D. What is your age?

E. Compared to our current expenditures, do you think that more, less, or about the same should be spent on public higher education in Missouri?

F. What is your salary in your current job?

G. What public program do you consider most important when it comes to funding priorities: health, education, welfare, police, highways, or economic development?

H. How satisfied are you with the education you are receiving at Southeast Missouri State University? Pretty well satisfied, more or less satisfied, or not satisfied at all?

J. How many years of formal education have you completed?

As you answer these short FRQ's below, be direct and to the point. Provide a graph if asked and any details that explain why something is happening

1. Normally, whenever a new video game console comes out, there is a shortage all over the United States. Graphically illustrate and fully explain where the shortage comes from, how the various roles of prices can come together to end the shortage, and why the final outcome is not necessarily the fairest outcome.
2. In the winter of 2006–2007, unusually cold weather prevented people from enjoying the great outdoors. This led to a huge surplus of snowmobiles all over Minnesota. Fully explain how the surplus came about, how the "invisible hand" dealt with this surplus and provide a graph to illustrate your explanation.
3. Draw a graph illustrating what would happen in the market for log cabins if consumer income increased by 19% in Montana.
4. Draw a graph showing what would happen in the market for cat food if it were discovered that many brands of canned cat food, contained poison.

Here are the questions to help you analyze a change in supply:

• What determinant or determinants of supply has/have changed or will change, and in what direction?
• What was, or will be, the impact on the supply of the good or service?
• What was, or will be, the impact on the price of the good or service?
• What was, or will be, the impact on the quantity of the good or service demanded?

(Country Risk and Capital Investment) Blueberry Farm Inc. (U.S. firm) is planning a project in Japan. The project would end in one year, when all earnings would be remitted to Blueberry. Assume that no additional corporate taxes are incurred beyond those imposed by the Japanese government. Since Blueberry would rent space, it would not have any long-term assets in Japan, and expects the salvage (terminal) value of the project to be about zero. Assume that the project’s required rate of return is 25 percent. Also assume that the initial outlay is $250,000. The pretax earnings are expected to the ¥6,500,000 at the end of one year. The Japanese yen is expected to be worth $0.009 at the end of one year, when the after-tax earnings are converted to dollars and remitted to the United States. The following forms of country risk, which are independent, must be considered: * The Japanese economy may weaken (probability = 55%), which would cause the expected pretax earnings to be €3,500,000. * The Japanese corporate tax rate on income earned by U.S. firms may increase from 35 percent to 45 percent (probability = 20 percent).

1A. What is the expected NPV? What is the probability that that the NPV would be negative? You will have to provide your calculation steps.

1B. Should Blueberry undertake this investment project? Please justify your solution.

Assume that Seminole, Inc., considers issuing a Singapore dollar?denominated bond at its present coupon rate of 8.7 percent, even though it has no incoming cash flows to cover the bond payments. It is attracted to the low financing rate, since U. S. dollar-denominated bonds issued in the United States would have a coupon rate of 12 percent. Assume that either type of bond would have a four­?year maturity and could be issued at par value. Seminole needs to borrow $10 million. Therefore, it will either issue U. S. dollar denominated bonds with a par value of $10 million or bonds denominated in Singapore dollars with a par value of S$20 million. The spot rate of the Singapore dollar is $.50. Seminole has forecasted the Singapore dollar’s value at the end of each of the next four years, when coupon payments are to be paid:

               End of Year                 Exchange Rate of Singapore Dollar

                                 1                                       $.53

                                 2                                        .56

                                 3                                        .58

                                 4                                        .59

Determine the expected annual cost of financing with Singapore dollars. Should Seminole, Inc., issue bonds denominated in U.S. dollars or Singapore dollars?

Grab a blank sheet of paper and try some inflation analysis on your own. Take a picture or scan your sheet, and upload it after you are finished. This contributes to your participation grade in the class.

1. Because inflation increased by only 1.7% in 2008, the American Association of Retired Persons comments that this is “an unfortunate side effect of inflation, since Social Security payments, which are indexed to inflation, will increase by only 1.7% in 2008.” Comment on whether this is an “unfortunate side effect of inflation” or not.
2. The Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) can impact the economy through changes in the Federal funds rate, because changes in this interest rate will change all interest rates throughout the economy. The Federal funds rate was constant at 5.25% from 1996–1998, a time of falling inflation. What impact did this have on real interest rates during this time? What was likely to happen to investment spending?
3. “Traveling in Turkey is much cheaper now than it was 10 years ago,” says a friend. "Ten years ago, a dollar bought 1,000 lira; this year, a dollar buys 1,500 lira.” Total inflation over this period was 25% in the United States and 100% in Turkey. Is your friend right or wrong—has it become more or less expensive to travel in Turkey?
