Suppose that Italy and Austria both produce fish and shoes. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 5 pounds of fish while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 10 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell thatItaly has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes andAustria has a comparative advantage in the production of fish. Suppose that Italy and Austria consider trading shoes and fish with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than5 pounds of fish for each pair of shoes it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than1/10 pair of shoes for each pound of fish it exports to Italy. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of fish) would allow both Austria and Italy to gain from trade? a. 9 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
b. 18 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
c. 3 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
d. 1 pound of fish per pound of cheese.

Show the changes to the t-accounts for the federal reserve and for commercial banks when the federal reserve buys $50 million in u.s. treasury bills. if the public holds a fixed amount of currency (so that all loans create an equal amount of deposits in the banking system), the minimum reserve ratio is 10%, and banks hold no excess reserves, by how much will deposits in the commercial banks change? by how much will the money supply change? show the final changes to the t-account for commercial banks when the money supply changes by this amount.

Lo.2, 3, 9 lori, who is single, purchased 5-years class property for $200,00 and 7-years class property for $420,000 on may 20, 2018. lori experts the taxable income derived form the business (without regard to the amount expensed under ⧠179) to be about $550,000. lori has determined that she should elect immediate ⧠179 expensing in the amount of $520,000, but she doesn’t know which asset she should completely expense under ⧠179. she does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. a. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. b. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. c. what is your advice for lori? d. assume that lori is in the 24% marginal tax bracket and that she uses ⧠179 on the 7-year asset. determine the present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets. see appendix g for present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate. e. assume the same facts as in part (d), except that lori decides not to use ⧠179 on either asset. determine the present value of the tax savings under this choice. in addition, determine which option lori should choose. f. present your solution to parts (d) and (e) of the problem in a spreadsheet using appropriate microsoft excel formulas. e-mail your spreadsheet to your instructor with a two-paragraph summary of your findings.
