Assume that a firm has future marginal productivity of capital given by MPK = A(100-K). The price of capital (machine) is $20,000, the real interest rate is 10%, and capital depreciates at a 10% rate. Assume further that each unit of output sells for $50. A) Calculate the user cost of the capital (in real term) that the firm faces. B) Assume A=1, then calculate the desired capital stock. What is the firm’s gross investment if the firm currently has...

U.S. (Nominal Interest Rate) = 4% Canada (Nominal Interest Rate) = 5% According to economic theory, investors will move their funds from U.S. to Canada because they earn a better interest rate, therefore, demand for Canadian $ will increase, so Canadian $ will appreciate, and $ will depreciate. According to the fishier effect, real interest rate is assumed to usually be in equilibrium. So, Nominal Interest Rate = Real Interest Rate + Expected Inflation U.S. 4% = 3% + 1%...
