The inlet pressure of a steam generator is to be held constant at 5.00 MPa. During the test, the inlet pressure was measured 120 times. The resolution of the digital pressure gauge used was 0.001 MPa. The number of results, m, is the number of readings falling in an interval of ±0.04 MPa centered about the listed pressure.

1. The introduction of intratemporal trading opportunities in an economy in which these opportunities did not previously exist will allow house holds to spend their income in patterns that differ from the pattern in which their income is received.
2. An examination of the historical evolution of media of exchange suggests that innovations in hte form of the medium of exchange are driven by society's desire to reduce the utility costs associated with using an item as a medium of exchange.
3. If gold is the medium of exchange in an economy, discovery of new gold deposits will lead to a reduction in the value or price of gold and to an increase in the general price level as measured by indices such as the consumer price index and GDP deflator.
4. Since falling interest rates encourage current consumption and investment in physical capital, rising bond prices are an unambiguous indicator of good economic times.

Consider the labor market for garment workers. This work used to be done largely by hand. As new machines were developed to help in the making of clothes, what do you predict happened to the demand for labor? The invention of new technology can be thought as the price of capital as falling.
1) Consider the scale effect. Do you expect this to be small or large? Consider the two factors that determine the size of the scale effect.
2) Consider the substitution effect. Do you expect this to be small or large? Consider the two factors that determine the size of the substitution effect.
3) Can you guess whether the substitution or scale effect might dominate?
4) Suppose capital and labor are gross substitutes. Would you consider new technology in the sewing industry to be a good thing or bad thing? Why?

The firm will receive cash inflow of $30 million on June 20 which needs to be parked for a period of 3 months ending on sep 19. The CFO believes the interest rates will start falling and wishes to hedge against this. She notes that the june euro dollar futures (expiring on june 20) is at 96
a. Write down the position that she should take on the euro dollar contracts. The final closing price on June 20 was 95
b. Compute the interest earned when the $ 30 million was invested on June 20 for 3 months
c. Compute the loss / gain on the euro dollar futures
d. Assuming the loss/ gain on the euro dollar futures were realised on sep 19. what was the total cash inflow on sep 19
e. Therefore what was the effective interest rate using this strategy

According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, “About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall.” A statistics student is curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at his college. He plans to use a 99% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 55 students. The sample mean is 3.69 alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.56 drinks.
Construct the 99% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college.

You are serving on a jury. A plaintiff is suing the city for
injuries sustained after falling down an uncovered manhole. In the
trial, doctors testified that it will be 5 years before the
plaintiff is able to return to
work. The jury has already decided in favor of the plaintiff. You
are the foreman of the jury and propose that the jury gives the
plaintiff an award to cover the following items:
(1) The present value of two years back pays ($34,000 in 2018,
$36,000 in 2019). Assume that it is January 1, 2020, and that all
salary is received at year-end.
(2) The present value of 5 years of future salary (2020-2024).
Assume that the plaintiff’s salary would increase at a rate of 3% a
year.
(3) $100,000 for pain and suffering
(4) $20,000 for court costs
Assume an interest rate of 7%. What should be the size of the
settlement?
