1. You are asked to analyze each of the following events using the Solow growth model (the events all happen at time 0): a) The investment rate rises in Tanzania. b) Immigration increases the population of France by 10%. c) An earthquake destroys 10% of the capital stock of Chile. (Hint: does steady state GDP per capita change in Chile?) d) Malaysia realizes a 10% rise in TFP due to technology transfer.

For each of these: Draw a Solow diagram to show what happens when the economy is initially in steady state. Explain how steady-state GDP per capita changes. Use algebra to help in your explanation. Does steady-state capital per capita change? Explain how the growth rate of GDP per capita changes at time 0. Explain how the economy adjusts from the short run to the long run after the change

We are evaluating a project that costs $856,000, has a life of 9 years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 157,000 units per year. Price per unit is $41, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $865,416 per year. The tax rate is 22 percent, and we require a return of 18 percent on this project.

11. The National Toxicology Program report in 2016 that cell phone radiation increased brain tumor growth in male rats. Radiation can cause damage and mutations to DNA. Suppose you wished to study this further. You mate these rats and find that the offsprings have normal incidence of tumors. You would conclude that the tumors were most likely due to.

a. changes to somatic cells

b. changes in germ cells

c. changes to gonadal cells

If on the other hand the offspring also had increase tumor growth then you would conclude that the

a. tumor cells were passed down to offsprings

b. changes occur in stem cells

c. changes occur in germ cells

a. prevented

b. more likely to pass to the next generation

c. less severe

(Bonds) A bond with a $1,000 par, 4 years to maturity, a coupon rate of 5%, and annual payments has a yield to maturity of 4.2%. What will be the percentage change in the bond price if the yield changes instantaneously to 4.6%? (If your answer is, e.g., -1.123%, enter it as -1.123. If the sign of the price change is incorrect, no credit will be given.)
