Please solve for the question (3) I will be very very appreicate!! Consider a two-period small open economy populated by households and firms with a singlegood each period.The preferences of the representative household are described by the utility function u(c₁c₂) =(C₁C₂)² where c₁ and c₂ denote consumption in periods 1 and 2, respectively. In period 1, thehousehold receives an endowment of q₁ 1. In period 2, the household receives profits,denoted by T₂, from the firms it owns. In period 1, the household has access to financialmarkets where they can borrow or lend at the interest rate r = 10%. The household has azero asset holding position in period 1. Let the budget constraint in the first period be c₁ +b = 9₁, with b denoting assets purchased in the first period.Firms borrow in period 1 from the international financial market to invest in physical capitaland to produce final goods in period 2. Denote by d₁ the amount of debt taken by the firm inperiod 1. The production technology in period 2 is given by Q₂ = 410.5, where Q₂ and 1₁denote output in period 2 and investment in period 1, respectively.Both firms and households are subject to the same collateral constraint, with ₁ denoting thevalue of the collateral. Suppose that ê₁ equals 5. Assume that the economy's initial net foreignasset position is zero (bg = 0).Question 1: State the maximization problem of the firm, and compute the firm's optimal levelsof period-1 investment and period-2 profits. Provide intuition.Question 2: State the maximization problem of the representative household. Derive theassociated optimality conditions, and compute the equilibrium allocation of the countryconsumption, net foreign asset position (b1), the trade balance, and the current account.Provide intuition.Question 3: Suppose that a financial panic causes foreign banks to lower their assessmentof the value of the collateral. Specifically, suppose that ₁ falls from 5 to 1 for firms and from5 to 0 for households. Solve for the equilibrium levels of investment, consumption, the tradebalance, the current account, and the country's net asset position in period 1, and output andprofits in period 2. Provide intuition.

To solve Question 3, we need to analyze the effects of the financial panic on the economy's…

Dr Rafiu is planning to send his son to study Finance either at KFUPM or Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, ceteris paribus. When the session is about to start, the school fees of KFUPM increases while that of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University remain the same. So, Dr Rafiu decides to enroll his son at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University. (a) What kind of goods can you classify the two universities from the perspective of Dr Rafiu? (b) What is the nature of elasticity facing Dr Rafiu (hint: elastic, inelastic, Unitary)
Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?

10. Suppose in our model, lifespans increased due to a productivity in- crease. What would likely happen to hours worked and leisure over the lifetime of a represent ative consumer. (a) Let's consider one of two common ways of implementing this change. Suppose the increase raised both lifespans and the amount of years consumers are healthy enough to work by the same amount, how would that likely affect the measured numbered of hours work by prime aged adults within a given year? What would likely hap- pen to the retirement age? (b) Let's consider the other way to implement it. Suppose the change in lifetimes came about changes in technology that delayed death but did not extend the amount of years consumers are healthy enough to work. What would likely happen to hours worked within a year? What would happen to the retirement age? (c) In the US, the generalized stylized fact is that the actual age of retirement is not increasing. Nor are hours worked per week. Why are both of the above…

Question 4 Jesse works as a research assistant and is currently surveying participants in a study. In a typical work week Jesse can complete 24 surveys if he only works on surveys and works efficiently. Jesse's professor also wants him to read research papers. In the time it takes Jesse to read 1 research paper he can complete 3 surveys. If Jesse works efficiently, which of the following combinations of surveys and papers can he complete in a typical work week? Read 4 papers and complete 12 surveys Read 72 papers and complete O surveys Read 3 papers and complete 18 surveys Read 12 papers and complete 4 surveys Question 5 Omar and Max are TAs for ECN 104, they have to grade assignments and write exam questions.

PROBLEM (1) (Rational Choice) Suppose your friend is about to buy a digital camera. A digital camera is identified with three dimensions; 1) resolution (in megapixels), 2) optical zoom (a real number) and 3) battery life (a number of hours). For example, A = (8, 4, 20) is a camera with 8mp resolution and x4 optical zoom and 20 hours of battery life. When he goes into a store, he faces a menu of cameras. When comparing two cameras if camera A is weakly better than B on at least 2 dimensions, it is weakly preferred to the other; written A ≥preferred B. a) Is this preference relation complete? Transitive? Prove it or show an example where the property doesn't hold. b) Suppose the agent chooses from any menu of cameras, a camera that is (weakly) preferred to all other cameras in the menu. Would this choice function be rational, given (a)? Briefly explain your reasoning.
