(Related to Checkpoint 17.1) (Forecasting discretionary financing needs) Bates Fabricators, Inc. estimates that it invests 25 cents in assets for each dollar of new sales. However, 4 cents in profits are produced by each dollar of additional sales, of which 1 cent(s) can be reinvested in the firm. If sales rise by $773,000 next year from their current level of $5.36 million, and the ratio of spontaneous liabilities to sales is 0.17, what will be the firm's need for discretionary financing? (Hint: In this situation, you do not know what the firm's existing level of assets is, nor do you know how those assets have been financed. Thus, you must estimate the change in financing needs and match this change with the expected changes in spontaneous liabilities, retained earnings, and other sources of discretionary financing.)

Considering the following supply and demand equations: Qs=3P-1 Qd=-2P+9 dPdt=0.5(Qd-Qs) Find the expressions: P(t), Qs(t) and Qd(t). When P(0)=1, is the system stable or unstable? If the constant for the change of excess of demand changes to 0.6, this is: dPdt=0.6(Qd-Qs) do P(t), Qs(t) and Qd(t) remain the same when P(0)=1?
