Why do economists use the terms “investment” and “capital” in very diferentcontexts (physical investment and physical capital versus fnancial investmentand fnancial capital)?
Julie lives for two periods. She works in the first, saves some of her income, and retires inthe second and lives off her savings. For every coconut she saves today, she earns an interestrate of r = 2%. Julie’s generation comprises of 1,000 people and each generation grows byn% relative to the previous one.a. In the first period Julie saves 100 coconuts for retirement. How many coconuts will shehave when she retires?b. Now suppose that the government implements a pay-as-you-go social security system,forcing every person in Julie’s generation to pay 100 coconuts to a social security fund thatwill distribute the money to the currently old. In exchange, when Julie retires each youngperson will pay 100 coconuts to the social security fund, and the revenue will be dividedequally among the future retirees. How much will be the revenue of the social securitysystem, and how many coconuts will each retiree will receive?c. What will have to be the range of values for n so that the government’s…

Say that the average worker in Canada has a productivity level of 30 per hour while the average worker in the United Kingdom has a productivity level of 25 per hour (both measured in U.S. dollars). Over the next five years, say that worker productivity in Canada grows at 1 per year while worker productivity in the UK grows 3 per year. After five years, whiz) will have the higher productivity level, and by how much?
If two economies are identical, except the savings rate in one economy is higher, explain why we might expect the economy with the higher savings rate to grow faster and in that sense be healthier.
Assembly: Total cost of production = PAQA = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = WHHA = 100Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = WLLA = 200Earnings of Capital = RKA = 100R&D: Total cost of production = PRQR = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = WHHR = 175Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = WLLR = 125Earnings of Capital = RKR = 100A. In which factor(s) is assembly intensive? In which factor(s) is R&D intensive?B. Suppose that due to the opening of trade, the price of assembly falls by ∆PA/PA = −20%, the price of R&D remains unchanged, ∆PR/PR = 0%, and capital’s share earnings remains constant.C.

Consider an economy with total population of 400. Let these 400 workers be equally divided between two groups: the rich and the poor. The poor have less human capital per person than the rich do.Within each group, individuals do not differ by their skill level. Each individual in this economy accumulates human capital. Each period, a person has one unit of time to split between work and human capital accumulation. There is no savings in this economy Each person devotes u=0.8 units of time to working in each period. Suppose that b is equal to 15 and 12 for the rich and poor respectively. In the economy, output is produced using the efficiency units of labor. That is output in period t is given by Yt=zu(200Rt+200Pt), where Rt and Pt are the human capital of a rich and poor person, respectively, at the beginning of period t. Let z=1, R0 =10 and P0 =5. 1. What is the initial level of human capital of the country at the beginning of period 0? 2. What is average labor income among the rich…
Suppose an economy produces only 2 products that will also be used for directconsumption, as per the article at the end of the exam: chicken wings and donuts. Inthe second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 180,000 pounds of chicken wings wereproduced, at a value of $3.50 per pound, while in the second quarter of 2022,production of chicken wings increased to 200,000 pounds, at a value of $3.75 perpound. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 85,000 donuts were producedat a value of $0.85 per donut, while in the second quarter of 2022, donut productionincreased to 100,000 donuts, each at a value of $0.95 per donut. The population inthis economy is 1000 individuals in 2022, while the number of hours worked in 2022is 5000. Also, the quantities that were produced in 2021 represent the quantities thatwere purchased by the typical household, meaning that everything that was producedwas sold.d. Solve for the amount of labor productivity in the second quarter of 2022.e. Solve for the…
Consider an economy of four sectors, Agriculture, Energy, Manufacturing, and Transportation. Agriculture sector sells 12% of its output to Energy, 35% to Manufacturing, 25% to Transportation and retains the rest. Energy sector sells 30% of its output to Agriculture, 30% to Manufacturing, 15% to Transportation and retains the rest. Manufacturing sector sells 30% of its output to Agriculture, 27% to Energy, and retains the rest. Transportation sector sells 20% of its output to Agriculture, 10% to Energy, 30% to Manufacturing and retains the rest. a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. b. Write down the system of linear equation that leads to prices at which each sector’s income matches its expenses, and solve these equations by Gaussian method to find these prices.
The following diagram presents a circular flow model of a simple economy. The outer set of arrows (shown in green) shows the flow of dollars, and the inner set of arrows (shown in blue) shows the corresponding flow of inputs and outputs. Based on this model, households earn incomes when ____(options: households, firms) purchase ______ (options: goods and services, inputs) in the markets for inputs. Suppose Kate earns $575 per week working as a doctor for the Medical Clinic. She uses $8 to buy a box of aspirin at Pillmart Pharmacy. Pillmart Pharmacy pays Hubert $225 per week to work the cash register. Hubert uses $225 to purchase medical services from the Medical Clinic. In the following table, identify whether each event in this scenario occurs in the markets for inputs or the markets for outputs. Which of the elements of the previous scenario represent a flow from a firm to a household? This could be a flow of dollars, inputs, or outputs. Check all that apply. A. Kate’s…
