Wheat production W, in megabushels, in a given year t depends on the average temperature T, in Celsius, and annual rainfall R, in cm. Scientists estimate that the average temperature is rising at a rate of 0.15oC per year, and rainfall is decreasing at a rate of 0.1 cm per year. Scientist also estimate that ∂ W / ∂ T = − 2 megabushels per oC and ∂ W / ∂ R = 8 megabushels per cm. Estimate the rate of change of wheat production, d W / d t in megabushels per year.

1.) Kay Corporation's 5-year bonds yield 6.30% and
5-year T-bonds yield 4.40%. The real risk-free rate is r* = 2.5%,
the inflation premium for 5-year bonds is IP = 1.50%, the default
risk premium for Kay's bonds is DRP = 1.30% versus zero for
T-bonds, and the maturity risk premium for all bonds is found with
the formula MRP = (t – 1) × 0.1%, where t = number of years to
maturity. What is the liquidity premium (LP) on...

A6-9. Suppose the aggregate production function for an economy
is given by Y* = (T+H)K1/2L1/2, where Y* is potential GDP, T is the
average level of technology, H is the average level of human
capital, K is the capital stock and L is the labour force. Assume
initially that both T and H equal 5, and that both K and L equal
64. Assume that the population grows at the same rate as any growth
in the labour force so...

Desai Industries is analyzing an average-risk project, and the
following data have been developed. Unit sales will be constant,
but the sales price should increase with inflation. Fixed costs
will also be constant, but variable costs should rise with
inflation. The project should last for 3 years. Under the new tax
law, the equipment used in the project is eligible for 100% bonus
depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. At the end
of the project’s...

____ Storm water detention ponds typically are designed to
regulate the outflow peak rate at or below a single target value,
such as the pre-development (pre-land use change) peak runoff rate
for a specified return period event. Detention storage alters the
peak but not the volume of the outflow hydrograph.

Nealon Energy Corporation engages in the acquisition,
exploration, development, and production of natural gas and oil in
the continental United States. The company has grown rapidly over
the last 5 years as it has expanded into horizontal drilling
techniques for the development of the massive deposits of both gas

Download the data set “Mine8” from the class D2L site. This data
set can be used to test the impact of the 1952 Mine Safety Act on
mining fatalities. One of the goals of the legislation was to cut
down on the high accident rate in small mines. The authors of the
original study hypothesized that mine fatalities were a function of
the level of mine technology, average mine size, and mine safety
regulation.
