Consider the following events: Scientists reveal that eating oats can result in glowing skin and healthy hair, and at the same time, wages (i.e., the price of labour) for the oat production rise.
(a) Illustrate and explain what effect these changes have on the equilibrium price and quantity of oats.
(b) Critically evaluate what will happen to the oat farmers’ total revenue.

An asset will provide two cash inflows: $10,000 in two years and $25,000 in 10 years. The asset is currently priced at 6% effective.

i)What is the price of the asset?

ii)What is the modified duration of the asset?

iii)What is the convexity of the asset?

iv)Estimate the price if the interest rate changes to 5.9%using both modified duration and convexity

The Trump Administration has repealed nearly 100 environmental rules over the past three years. One example is the recent weakening of emissions standards for cars and trucks. The Administration has argued that these changes will help the auto industry flourish.

Question: Do you think that the free market equilibrium quantity of cars and trucks is efficient? Explain.

1. A company must pay a liability of $1,000 in 2 years. Zero coupon bonds with term of 1 year and 4 years are available for investment. The effective rate of interest is 7.5%.

   1. (b) Show empirically that immunization has been achieved even for large changes in the interest rate. Take as an example a decrease in the interest rate to 0% and an increase to 100%.

Assume the banking system has $200 billion in reserves, that required reserves are 5% of checking deposits, that banks hold no excess reserves, and that households hold no currency.

Centrifugal forces resulting from riding a roller coaster can be a challenge to your blood pressure, as blood trends to flow to your legs instead of your carotid arteries and aorta. A similar effect takes place as you wake up every morning. How does your body cope with these sudden changes in blood pressure?

A new archaebacterium species was discovered that strives at elevated temperatures. List three differences in the membrane composition of the archaebacterium:

If the archaebacterium is normally grown at 80^oC is transferred to medium at 37^oC, give two changes (adaptations) the bacterium can make to the composition of membrane lipids. Be specific and include modifiers such as increase/decrease, etc.
