Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motor vehicles are capital intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin (H-O) assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland. 1. In autarky, according to Ohlin, how does Trinbago’s relative price of labour compare to Vincyland’s?

Sanford Inc. currently competes in a duopoly. The market price is $10, and Sanford's annual profit is $10 million. If Sanford were the only firm in the market, it could charge the monopoly price of $25 per unit and earn $35 million annually for an indefinite period of time. By charging $5 per unit for one year, Sanford could drive its rival out of the market and maintain a monopoly position indefinitely. However, this strategy will result in a $20 million loss since its marginal cost is $8 per unit. a. What pricing strategy is the manager considering?b. Ignoring legal considerations, is this pricing strategy profitable? Assume the interest
1. Explain the meaning of the expected value of perfect information (EVPI) in this problem. Based on the results of (iii) and (iv), which investment would you choose? 2. Compute the coefficient of variation, the return-to-risk ratio (RTRR) for each investment. Based on (vii) and (viii), what investment would you choose? Compare the results of (vi) and (ix) and explain any differences
Brandon is considering expansion of a store. If he expands, the interest rate at which he borrows the money is the important factor. He is not sure what kind of interest rate will be obtained. If he does not expand, the only factor influencing the outcome is future economy. The following table summarizes the situation: Probabilities Payoff Expand Large Favorable interest .3 $60k Neutral interest .5 $30k Unfavorable interest .2 ‑$70k Expand Small Favorable interest .3 $50k Neutral interest .5 $30k Unfavorable interest .2 ‑$30k Do not expand…
If workers contribute to their group’s investments and decide on these investments, workers at different stages of their careers may want different types of capital, for example a durable building versus a temporary one. a. How might the age distribution of the workers make the building they choose to build too temporary or too durable? How can a building be too durable? b. There are also young and old shareholders. Why isn’t the choice of the building’s durability also a problem if they or an elected management makes the decision on it?

Suppose the economy is in recession. Policymakers estimate that aggregate demand is$100 billion short of the amount necessary to generate the long run natural rate of output.That is, if aggregate demand were shifted to the right by $100 billion, the economy wouldbe in long run equilibrium.a. Explain the impact on the economy if the government chooses to use fiscal policy tostabilize the economy and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is given as0.75 with no crowding out.b. If there is a crowding out effect and investment is very sensitive to changes in theinterest rate, should the government increase spending more or less than this amount?
