Assume that a nation initially has an output level of 150 units per period and that consumption is also 150 (there is no investment or government spending). Suppose there is a temporary (i.e. one-period) increase in GDP of 16% in period 0. Assume the country has access to global financial markets with an interest rate of 8%. Assume an infinite time horizon for all questions. If this country wants to maintain a smooth consumption path (I.e. constant in all periods, including period 0) what level consumption per period can it attain?

Assume there are no investment projects in the economy that yield an expected rate of return of 25 percent or more. But suppose there are $10 billion of investment projects yielding expected returns of between 20 and 25 percent; another $10 billion yielding between 15 and 20 percent; another $10 billion between 10 and 15 percent; and so forth. Cumulate these data and present them graphically, putting the expected rate of return on the vertical axis and the amount of investment on the horizontal axis. What will be the equilibrium level of aggregate investment if the real interest rate is (a) 15 percent, (b) 10 percent, and (c) 5 percent? Explain why this curve is the investment demand curve.

1. Summer1 Digital (Summer1) is a multinational corporation that produces and distributes telecommunications technology. Although its corporate headquarters are located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Summer1 usually buys its materials in several different countries using several different foreign currencies. The matter is further complicated because Summer1 often sells its products in other foreign countries. Summer1 is concerned with economic conditions that could adversely affect ringgit exchange rates. Explain Malaysias economic conditions in 2021. Evaluate the risks that need to be considered by Summer1 if it decides to continue buying materials from other countries including China and Indonesia as well as selling its products in countries such as Hong Kong and Japan. Discuss ways to manage and minimise the impacts of the risks associated with Techno1’s materials purchase and products sales in the foreign countries.

Suppose that conditions in the economy are such that the after-tax expected real interest rate is described by the equationRa = a X gWhere a is a number that depends on how people value their consumption in one period compared with another period, and g is the growth rate of the economy. The a equals 1 when people prefer consumption to be balanced, with the same amount of consumption each period; a may be bigger than the one when people prefer consumption today over consumption in the future, with a being larger and larger the more impatient people are:A - Suppose that a = 2, g = 0.02, the inflation rate is expected to be steady at pi = 0.03, and the tax rate is .40.
