1.
You own a golf course in Florida and you need to determine how many golf carts you
need to buy to maximize profits.
Please answer the following questions given the in-
formation below.
A brand new golf cart costs 2000 rounds of golf and the rate of depreciation is 5%.
The real interest rate is 8%
The expected marginal product of capital is given by MPK
f
= 1000 – 10K.
a)
What is the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in?
uc =
b)
How many golf carts should you buy to maximize profits (i.e., what is K*)?
K* =
c)
Draw a graph (the uc / MPK graph) depicting the state of affairs and label this ini-
tial profit maximizing point as
point A
.

d)
Now suppose the (local) government with all their financial shortfalls embarks on
a campaign to raise revenue to fund the fire department by imposing a so-called
“luxury tax” (we know it as τ) equal to 15% of gross revenue
What happens to
the profit maximizing number of golf carts?
Please show all work and round to
two decimal places.
uc =
K* =
e)
Add the above changes and add the values as
point B
on your uc/MPK graph.
f)
Now explain why your profit maximizing K* has changed. Please be specific us-
ing
the firm’s profit maximizing condition (explain the intuition!)
. Start your
answer with “
If I did not change my capital input (my K*), then I would not be
…….(you can finish the rest!) ……………..”
69.412
305.882
If I did not change my capital input, then I would not be meeting the circumstances of profit
maximization. UC will be greater than MPKf to have UC=MPKf, we need to decrease K*.
2
g)
The Federal government, knowing all about the financial pains encountered by
state and local governments given the Great Recession, decides to offer an invest-
ment tax credit equal to 30% (this is in addition to the tax already imposed by the
local government).
What is your desired capital stock (K*) now? (Hint: An in-
vestment tax credit effectively reduces the price of capital to the firm – think of it
as this – under the investment tax credit – you buy a golf cart (cost = 2000 rounds
of golf) and you get a 30% rebate from Uncle Sam so the investment tax credit
adjusted price of the golf cart is now 1400 rounds of golf [(1-.30) x 2000 = 1400].
Please show all work again
.
uc =
K* =
h)
Add the above changes and add the values as
point C
on your uc/MPK graph.
78.588
214.117

i)
Draw a desired investment diagram (completely labeled with all the shift vari-
ables noted next to the function in parentheses with signs (+ or -)) depicting the
initial
equilibrium (no tax or tax credit) as point A (simply draw a negatively
sloped I
D
curve going through point A).
Label the initial real interest rate as r*
A
=
.08 (as is given above) and the initial level of desired investment as I
d
A
. Note im-
portantly that we do not have numbers for desired investment, but that’s ok, we
are focusing on the change in desired investment, given the same real rate = .08.
Be sure to include
all of
the shift variables in parentheses next to this initial I
D
function.
j)
Then show, as point B, the new level of desired investment (after the tax), at the
same real rate = .08. Label this (new) level of desired investment as I
d
B
(again, we
don’t have specific numbers for I
d
B
.
Be sure to include
all of
the shift variables in
parentheses next to your new I
D
function
k)
Why did the level of desired investment change, even though the real rate of in-
terest did not? Please be specific using the equation that connects the desired capi-
tal stock (K*) to desired investment. (4.6 in the textbook).
The desired investment level changed because the desired investment is inversely dependent on
the tax rate. Since the tax rate increased, the desired investment decreased, leading to K*.

How to Build a One-Match Campfire
Building a campfire that you can light with one match is simple if you follow these easy steps. The first step is to prepare a safe place for your campfire. Clear an area on the ground at least 3 feet wide, and put a circle of stones around it. Second, gather fuel. You will need several sizes of fuel: small twigs, medium sticks, and large sticks. The next step is to build a tepee. Put a handful of twigs in a small pile, and use the small sticks to build a small tepee over the pile. Leave spaces large enough to drop a lighted match through. Next, build a cabin around the tepee using the medium sticks. Fifth, place two large pieces of wood on either side of the cabin, and lay two or three long sticks on top to make a loose roof. The last step is to light a match and drop it through a space in the tepee. Soon you will enjoy the warmth of a nice fire, and your friends will admire your skill at…
