1. Imagine France and the US are exclusive trading partners. French people can only use Euros while Americans can only use dollars. What happens to the exchange rate of either euros or dollars with the following changes? Explain carefully in a paragraph or two:
   1. US exporting industries become more productive.
   2. The French government doubles the money supply.
   3. The US government decides to increase their tariffs on delicious French Cheeses

assume the spot exchange rate for euros is 1.0949 (that is $1.0949 will purchase €1). If the risk free interest rate for US dollars is 1.451%, the risk free interest rate for euro area is -0.250% and the standard deviation of changes in the exchange rate is 0.1126.

Using a programming language of your choice: 1) generate a range of wavelengths, 2) compute corresponding monochromatic blackbody intensity using a) Planck function, b) Rayleigh-Jeans simplification, and c) Wien simplification, and 3) plot the three resulting spectra (i.e., a diagram that shows how B(λ) changes with λ). Using this figure explain the phenomenon of “ultraviolet catastrophe”. Please include the code (not only figure) in your answer.

Question 1: Tim Hortons has the following production function, q = K^0.25 L^0.25,

(a) Show formally whether this production function has increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale.

(b) Calculate MPL, MPK, and MRTS_LK.

(c) If input prices are w=1 and r=1, calculate Tim Hortons’ cost function.

(d) Suppose the production function changes to q = 2K^0.25L^0.25. What is this an example of?
