4) A project is predicted to have a return of -£16m in a recession, and the probability of a recession is estimated to be 0.25. In a growth period the return would be 16m (with probability 0.50) and in a boom the return would be £24m (with probability 0.25). What is the expected return?
A) £24m
B) £50m
C) £10m
D) £80m

Answer the following question
(Q#4) Consider a poor country with an under-developed economy which could invest trillions into its current capital stock – either moving “up” its current productivity “curve” (PC) or shifting to a new and higher productivity (PC) curve. Which approach is likely best for increasing the country’s living standards (Real GDP Per Person) through time?
(a) A continuous build-up of the current capital stock with established technology will achieve more – capital “deepening” with more capital for each worker. (b) R&D that supports “cutting edge” invention and innovation will propel labor
(Q#8) Until recently, the economy in China has grown steadily due to the deliberate emphasis on low skill – low wage factory labor methods. However, China’s economic standard of living is still comparatively low. To achieve a U.S. or German standard of living what should be done?
