Q1. Suppose that Brazil initially has a higher capital rental rate (r) than the United States. a. What would be the direction of foreign direct investment (FDI)? b. Use a world-capital-market graph to show the effects of FDI on the two countries' rental rates of capital, GDP, and return to labor owners. c. Identify the net change in world output in the above graph. d. How would the wage rate and the rental rate of capital in the recipient country be affected in the long run? e. Discussion: what other effects could FDI cause in the recipient and source countries that are not captured in the model?

Consider a developed country, Country A. Assume that the trade volume (exports + imports) with respect to its economic development level can be described by the following function: T(D)=2D^2+5D+9 Where: T(D) represents the trade volume in billions of dollars. D is the level of development, measured by some index (e.g., Human Development Index) where 0≤D≤10. Calculate the derivative of T(D) with respect to D. Interpret result in terms of the rate of change of trade volume with respect to development. At what level of development D does the country experience the highest rate of change in trade volume? If the standard deviation in the development index scores of developed countries is 1.2, how would this affect interpretation of trade patterns among developed countries? Note: For the purposes of this question, assume that the relationship is purely mathematical and doesn't account for other real-world factors that might influence trade volume.
