Explanation of Solution

  1. Income and Expenditure are the two different approaches of measuring GDP. Income approach is calculated by adding incomes earned by various factors of production. It includes wages, rent, interest; profits .Whereas expenditure approach is calculated by adding total amount spent on total consumption, government purchases, net exports and investments by firms, households and government.
  2. Value added is net addition made by producer while producing .It is calculated by subtracting cost of intermediate goods involved in production at each stage of production from the selling price of the product. This concept is very important in income approach as it helps in calculating profit when the profits of all intermediate producers are calculated and added. It gets clearer in the following example.
  3. Market price of flour is divided into four stages
  4. Stage 1: Farmer sells to miller at $0.24 . So His value addition is $0.24 .

    Stage 2: Miller sells to wholesaler for $0.40 so miller's Value Addition is $0.40$0.24=$0.16

    Stage 3: Wholesaler sells to grocer for $2 so wholesaler’s VA is $2$0.40=$1.60

    Stage 4: Grocer sells to consumer for $0.90 so grocer's VA is $0.90$2=$1.10

    Final market prices of flour = addition of all Value addition of four stages

    = $0.24+$0.16+$1.60+($1.10)=$0.90

6. Rent seeking The following graph shows the demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves for a single-price monopolist that produces a drug that helps relieve arthritis pain. Place the grey point (star symbol) in the appropriate location on the graph to indicate the monopoly outcome such that the dashed lines reveal the profit-maximizing price and quantity of a single-price monopolist. Then, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to show the profits earned by the monopolist. 18 200 20 16 16 14 PRICE (Dollars per dose) 12 10 10 8 4 2 MC = ATC MR Demand 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Millions of doses per year) Monopoly Outcome Monopoly Profits Suppose that should the patent on this particular drug expire, the market would become perfectly competitive, with new firms immediately entering the market with essentially identical products.

Consider a call option on a stock that does not pay dividends. The stock price is $100 per share, and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. The call strike is $100 (at the money). The stock moves randomly with u=2 and d=0.5. 1. Write the system of equations to replicate the option using A shares and B bonds. 2. Solve the system of equations and determine the number of shares and the number of bonds needed to replicate the option. Show your answer with 4 decimal places (x.xxxx); do not round intermediate calculations. This is easy to do in Excel. A = B = 3. Use A shares and B bonds from the prior question to calculate the premium on the option. Again, do not round intermediate calculations and show your answer with 4 decimal places. Call premium =
