Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motor vehicles are capital intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland. 1. Given that Vincyland is a small country, examine the partial equilibrium welfare effects associated with imposing a tariff on their import good given that the prediction of the imported good yields a positive externality.

Toyota is filling an order from a Korean industrial company for machinery worth 160,000,000 Won. The export sale is denominated in Korean Won and is on a one-year open account basis. The opportunity cost of funds for Kristo Asafo Tools Ltd is 8%. The Current spot rate between Won and Dollars is 800 Won/$. The forward Won sells at a discount of 12% per annum, but the finance staff of toyota Believes that the Won will drop only 9% in value over the next year. Toyota faces the following choices This question compares the cost of a money market hedge with a forward hedge, and considers both alternatives against the possibility of remaining unhedged.Wait one year to receive the won amount and exchange Won for dollars at that time.Sell the Won proceeds of the sale forward today.Borrow Won from a Seoul bond at 20% per annum against the expected future receipt of the Korean importer’s payment.What do you recommend and why?
Under a partial equilibrium model with a perfectly competitive market, suppose that the domestic demand and supply of toys in a large Home economy are given by: Home: Demand function: P = 150-Q and Supply function: P=50+Q where Q denotes the market quantity and P indicates the market price in the economy. Now this country opens for free trade and the global import demand function is given as P*=150-(1/2)Q*, where P* and Q* are the price and the quantity in the global market, respectively. Now, suppose that the government gives 20 dollars of production subsidy for toy producers. Please answer to the following questions, 21 and 22. 21. What is the national welfare for the country? a) 2700 b) 2900 c) 3100 d) 3300.

Consider a firm run by an “incumbent” manager. Suppose the incumbent manager has the opportunity to invest in one of two different projects, Project 1 or Project 2. The incumbent manager has a higher ability in managing Project 1 rather than Project 2. Also, if theincumbent is fired by shareholders, she is replaced by an “alternative” manager whose ability to manage Project 1 is lower than the incumbent’s ability. Suppose the investment in a project is irreversible, and the shareholders’ choice of the incumbent manager salary (as well as their decision on whether to fire her) is taken afterthe investment is made. Also, assume the incumbent manager has a stake in the firm she runs, but she does not fully control it. Questions:(a) Suppose none of the projects gives the manager a direct utility. According to Shleifer and Vishny (1989), which of the two projects should the incumbent manager choose? What is the economic rationale behind this choice? Explain. (b) Suppose the incumbent…

True or False: 1. All points inside a consumer's budget line are unaffordable. 2. The principal of diminishing marginal utility means that as consumption of a good increases, total utility increases but at a decreasing rate. 3. A household is maximizing utility if the marginal utility is equal for all goods and all its income is spent. 4. If the marginal utilities from consuming two goods are not equal, the consumer cannot be in equilibrium. 5. If the marginal utility per dollar spent on good X exceeds the marginal utility per dollar spent on good Y, total utility will increase by increasing the consumption of X and decreasing consumption of Y. When the price of good X rises, the marginal utility from the consumption of X decreases. 6. 7. When income decreases, the marginal utility derived from a good will always increase. 8. A demand curve describes the quantity demanded at each price when marginal utility is maximized.

Nippon Steel's expenses for heating and cooling a large manufacturing facility are expected to increase according to an arithmetic gradient beginning in year 2. If the cost is $550,000 this year (year 0) and will be $550,000 again in year 1, but then it is estimated to increase by $45,000 each year through year 12, what is the equivalent annual worth in years 1 to 12 of these energy costs at an interest rate of 11% per year? The equivalent annual worth is determined to be $

Use D., S.. P., and O. to symbolize initial demand, supply, equilibrium price and quantity respectively. Use D,, S., P., and Q, to represent the new demand, supply, equilibrium price and quantity respectively Asia import mono ethylene glycol (MEG) prices weakened this week amid falling polyester sales, and the market will be likely under pressure as downstream demand may slow gradually amid a second wave of coronavirus infections in overseas markets
