Q7: A father wants to save for his eight-year-old son's college expenses. The son will enter college 10 years from now. An annual amount of $40,000 in constant dollars will be required to support the son's college expenses for four years. Assume that these college payments will be made at the beginning of each school year. The future general inflation rate is estimated to be 6% per year, and the market interest rate on the savings account will average 8% compounded annually. What is the equal amount, in actual dollars, the father must save each year until the end of year 17?

Wales, on the other hand, is mountainous and it is hard to grow wheat or find good land on which to pasture sheep, although it can be done. The land costs of producing wheat and sheep are shown below. Wheat England Wales 5 acres/ton 10 acres/ton Sheep 2 acres/sheep 2.5 acres/sheep For simplicity suppose England has 20 acres and Wales has 10 acres. Now suppose that England conquers Wales and the king wants his economist, to plot out the production possibilities for his unified kingdom.

Fill in the table Production pattern…
