China and its economic growth
Economic growth, a phenomena, all the countries wants to go, never the less China a highly populated country. China expects its economy to grow around 8 percent in 2010 from a year earlier, Setting the 8-percent target, mainly "aims at ensuring the quality of economic growth, focusing on transformation of economic development pattern and adjustment of economic structure," says the report.
The increase of consumer price index, a main gauge of the country's inflation, will be held around 3 percent, it says.
Although the development environment this year may be better than 2009, China "will still face a complicated situation," reads the report.
The year of 2010 will be a "crucial but complicated" year for China's economic development as the country will continue fighting against the global financial crisis while maintaining a stable and comparatively fast economic growth and the accelerating transformation of growth pattern, according to the report.
As the first country emerging from the global economic downturn, China's gross domestic product (GDP) rose 8.7 percent in 2009 from a year earlier, above the 8-percent target the government set at the beginning of last year.
China's quarterly economic growth accelerated as the government's economic stimulus package started to pay off. The national economy rose 6.2 percent in the first quarter last year, 7.9 percent in the second quarter, 9.1 percent in the third and 10.7 percent in the fourth.
China to keep yuan 'basically stable'

China will keep the exchange rate of its currency yuan "basically stable" at an "appropriate and balanced" level, according to a government work report to be delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the parliament's annual session Friday.
The country will also continue to improve the mechanism for setting the yuan exchange rate, it says.
China to continue 'proactive fiscal policy, moderately easy monetary policy'
China will continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately easy monetary policy in 2010, says a government work report to be delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the parliament's annual session Friday, Chinese growth vulnerable to changes in other economies mainly because of their reliance on exports.
"We need to maintain continuity and stability in our policies while constantly making them better-targeted and more flexible as circumstances and conditions change," reads the report, distributed to the media before the opening of the Third Session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC).
The report says China will not only "maintain sufficient policy intensity and consolidate the momentum of the economic turnaround," but also need to accelerate economic restructuring and make substantive progress in transforming the pattern of economic development.
In addition, China also needs to manage inflation expectations well and keep the overall level of prices stable, the report says.

Q5. The case talks about keeping the monetary policy easy to help the economy. What do you understand by easy monetary policy? How easy monetary policy can help countries out of crisis and boost the economy?

Q5 : China is using flexible Fiscal policy to move out of economic downturn. If an economy is down, how it balance between AD and AS and its effects? What Fiscal measures need to use to boost to bring the balance in AD and AS.?

Q3. 5 kg of water at T = 20° C and P = 7 bar is isobarically heated such that ΔU = 5000 kJ. (i) Find the initial and final volumes (in m3 ). (ii) Find Q and W (in kJ). (iii) Show the initial and final states on p-υ and T-υ diagrams (not to scale), denoting by arrows the direction of the process. Label the ‘f’ (saturated liquid) and ‘g’ (saturated vapor) points. Also, indicate the values of υf and υg on the x-axis of both the p-υ and T-υ diagrams.

Q4. Water inside a closed, rigid tank is cooled from its critical point to a final pressure of 10 MPa. (i) Sketch the process on p-υ and T-υ diagrams. Label the saturated liquid and saturated vapor states. (ii) Find the quality of the water after cooling. (iii) Calculate the heat transfer in kJ/kg.

Q5. Water of mass 1 kg contained in a piston-cylinder configuration is initially in a saturated liquid state (state A) at 10 bar. The water undergoes the following thermodynamic cycle: AB -> The water is heated isobarically until the water is in a saturated vapor state. BC -> The system is then cooled isochorically until the pressure is 1 bar. CD -> The system is further cooled isobarically until υD= υA. DA -> The system is finally heated isochorically back to state A. (i) Sketch this cycle on p-υ and T-υ diagrams (not to scale), using arrows to indicate the direction of each process. (ii) For each of the four states A to D, write down p, T and υ. (iii) For each of the four processes, evaluate the work and heat transfer (in kJ). (iv) What is the thermal efficiency of this power cycle?

Q6 (Bonus). Water of mass 2 kg in a closed, rigid tank is initially in the form of a twophase liquid-vapor mixture. The initial temperature is 50° C. The mixture is heated until the tank contains only saturated vapor at 110° C. (i) Find the initial pressure, in kPa. (ii) Find the work for the process, in kJ. (ii) Find the heat transfer for the process, in kJ.

Does bread lose its vitamins when stored? Small loaves of bread were prepared with flour that was fortified with fixed amounts of vitamins A (beta-carotene) and E. After baking, the vitamin A and vitamin E contents of two loaves were measured. Another four loaves were baked at the same time. Two of them were stored for three days, and two of them for seven days, before taking measurements. The measurements of the amounts of vitamins A and E in each loaf are given below (in milligrams of vitamin per hundred grams of flour). We assume that they come from normal distributions having the same standard deviations.

Condition Vitamin A Vitamin E

Immediately after baking 3.36 3.34 94.6 96.0

Three days after baking 3.26 3.16 97.4 94.3

Seven days after baking 3.01 2.92 92.3 95.1

Conduct one-way ANOVA, at  = 0.05 using SPSS with Takey’s option, for the vitamin E data [Note: the test is about vitamin E]. Follow the six steps of the P-value method adopted for SPSS. Then include additional conclusions based on Tukey’s test.

  1. Suppose you invest $100,000 in a C corporation for 10 years. You expect the corporation to earn 8% pa before any corporate taxes and any investor level taxes.  The firm does not plan to pay any dividends over the 10 year period. You currently face a 40% tax rate on ordinary income, and 20% tax rate on capital gains.  The corporation faces a tax rate of 35%.  The tax rates are not expected to change.


What is your after-tax dollar accumulation at the end of the 10 year holding period?

What is your annualized after tax rate of return?

  1. Instead of investing your $100,000 in the C corporation, you invest it in an S corporation.

What is your after-tax dollar accumulation at the end of the 10 year holding period?

What is your annualized after tax rate of return?

  1. Does your answer in 2. differ if the S corporation pays all of its earnings out in dividends?  Please make explicit any assumptions as to what you as the investor does with the dividends (do you spend or do you reinvest).

Suppose there are two countries – Home and Foreign – that produce only coffee and sugar....

Suppose there are two countries – Home and Foreign – that produce only coffee and sugar. It takes home workers three hours to produce a bag of coffee; and four hours to produce a bag of sugar. Foreign country is less productive – their workers spend seven hours to make a bag of coffee and a half of a day (twelve hours!) to eventually produce a bag of sugar.

1. Which country has an absolute advantage in coffee? Sugar? Explain intuition in 1-2 brief sentences

2. Which country has a comparative advantage in coffee? Sugar? Explain intuition in 1-2 brief sentences

3. Suppose Foreign country made a technical innovation which improved productivity there by one-third. In other words, foreign workers now spend one-third less time producing a bag of sugar than previously. How does your answer for part b) change?

4. Inspired by sugar producers, Foreign country created packaging technology that allowed them to decrease time to produce a bag of coffee by an hour. How does you answer to part b) change after both improvements?

5. The flow of history was exceptionally unsuccessful for Home country – it was colonized, and home worker morale decreased. As a result, Home country lost most of the mechanical innovations and their productivity become three times slower (i.e. both production times were tripled). Likewise, Foreign country kept all improvements discussed in the previous parts. How do your answers for both parts a) and b) change?
