Countries ABC and XYZ are identical, except that ABC’s savings rate is twice that of XYZ. Both countries follow the simple Solow growth model, with no changes in the technology level. The depreciation rate is 5% in both countries. In 20X1, capital per worker is 10,000 and real GDP per worker is 2,000 in both countries and the growth rate of capital per worker in country XYZ is 0.5% per annum. What is the savings rate in ABC?

Suppose that all countries are identical in their saving rate and depreciation rate, and have the same aggregate production function. Suppose that the countries are different only in the population growth rate. What is the implication of the Solow model for output per worker in the long-run for each country? Explain why.
Notice this is a multiple answers question. Suppose there are two very similar countries (call them G and H). Both countries have the same population and both are experiencing population growth at the same rate (that is, N and 9N are identical in both countries). Both countries depreciate capital at the same rate, the both have the same savings rate, they both have the same technology, and technological progress happens at the same rate in both countries Suppose that currently...
Suppose there are two very similar countries (call them E and F). Both countries have the same population and neither is experiencing population growth (that is, N is identical and constant in both countries). Both countries depreciate capital at the same rate, the both have the same savings rate, they both have the same technology, and there is no technological progress. Suppose that currently both countries are in steady state, when an earthquake destroys half of the capital stock of...

ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structure. ABC is all equity financed with $650,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $325,000 and the interest rate on its debt is 6.5 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $71,000. Ignore taxes.

ABC is considering purchasing a smaller chain, XYZ software. ABC’s financial analysts project that the merger will result in incremental net cash flows of $5.5 million in Year 1, $6.5 million in Year 2, $8.5 million in Year 3, and $15.5 million in year 4. Interest tax savings after the merger are estimated to be $1.8 million for each of the next 4 years. The expected cost of capital will be 10.5%, and the company expects to experience a normal...
