You are studying abroad in australia for a semester. unemployment has been creeping up and currently stands at 6%. this rate is getting a little too high for comfort, so the central bank of australia decides to do something about it. when you arrived in the country, inflation was hovering around 3% and had been at that level for a few years. the central bank’s action leads inflation to increase to 5%.

a. what happens to unemployment in the short run if inflation is expected to be 0%? [it rises, it falls, or it remains the same]

b. what happens to unemployment in the short run if citizens of australia have adaptive expectations? [it rises, it falls, or it remains the same]

c. what happens to unemployment in the short run if citizens of australia have rational expectations? [it rises, it falls, or it remains the same]

The monthly payment m of a loan of amount p for y years with an interest rate r can be calculated by the formula: m = p(r/12) 1 â’ (1 + r/12)â’12y calculate the monthly payment and the cummulative total payment for a $100,000 loan with an interest rate of 4.85% if taken out for 10 years, for 11 years, etc., up to a 30 year term. display the results in a three-column table where the first column is the number of years, the second is the monthly payment, and the third is the cummulative total payment. note: use format bank; for this problem. also, remember to represent the interest rate as a decimal (e. g. 0.0485) 2. a torus-shaped water tube is designed to have a volume of 8, 000in3 . the volume of the tube, v , and its surface area, s, are given by: v = 1 4 ď€ 2 (a + b)(b â’ a) 2 s = ď€ 2 (b 2 â’ a 2 ) if a = kb, determine s, a, and b for k = 0.2, 0.3, 0.7. display the results in a table

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. the techron i costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. the techron ii costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. for both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $55,000. if your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 11 percent, compute the eac for both machines.
