(4 points) suppose the production function in the solow model is given by yt = ak¯ 3/4 t l 1/4 t . (a) what are the five equations and five unknowns that summarize the solow model? (b) show the transition dynamics in the solow model if ¯sy0 < ¯dk0. make sure you label the axes, curves, initial level of capital and steady-state level of capital. (c) solve for capital, output, capital per person, and output per person in the steady state. (d) if a¯ = 2, l¯ = 4, ¯s = 0.2, and ¯d = 0.05, calculate the steady-state level of capital and output per person.

Balance sheet the assets of dallas & associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment. the firm has total assets of $2 5 million and net plant and equipment equals $2 million. it has notes payable of $150,000, long-term debt of $750,000, and total common equity of $1 5 million. the firm does have accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet. the firm only finances with debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock on its balance sheet. a. what is the company's total debt? b. what is the amount of total liabilities and equity that appears on the firm's balance sheet? c. what is the balance of current assets on the firm's balance sheet? d. what is the balance of current liabilities on the firm's balance sheet? e. what is the amount of accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet? [hint: consider this as a single line item on the firm's balance sheet.] f. what is the firm's net working capital? g. what is the firm's net operating working capital? h. what is the explanation for the difference in your answers to parts f and g?

Suppose that hubert, an economist from an am talk radio program, and kate, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the west coast, are arguing over government bailouts. the following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: kate: to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days. hubert: indeed, it’s gotten crazy! a government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets. kate: i don’t know about that. without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession. the disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in scientific judgments . despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue. central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations
