The company plans to efficiently maintain the assets in the long run. The average total assets of the firm are $45,000. The firm also plans to cover the solvency ratios in a reasonable manner to seek additional refinancing from the capital providers. The company has 50,000 shares outstanding. The company plans to raise more capital by issuing shares. The company's ROE has been determined to be 10% which is likely to go up in the next year. The company is concerned about the profitability ratios of the company and it is seeking your advice to improve them.

(iii) Describe what conditional convergence means in the data? Can both the Solow and Ramsey models help us explain this feature of the data? (iv) What are the main empirical and theoretical contributions of the Mankiw, Romer and Weil's paper? What are the main empirical challenges they faced in their analysis? (v) Does a consumer with preferences u (c) = c c2 save more as his future income becomes more uncertain? Question 2 (40% of the grade; you should allocate about 30min.) Consider the Ramsey model (where savings is endogenous). For simplicity, suppose there is neither any technological change nor any population growth. However, there is a government that might subsidy savings. Let R denote the subsidy. Suppose now that the government decides to subsidizes savings, going from a zero subsidy low = 0 to a positive subsidy high > 0. This change is unanticipated but, once it occurs, it is expected to last for ever. Suppose further that before this change the economy was resting at the steady state corresponding to zero subsidy. (i) What is the long-run impact of this change on the steady-state levels of per-hear capital (k), output (y), and consumption (c) are affected by this change? 1 (ii) What is the immediate impact of this change on the aforementioned variables? And how do these variables behave over time as the economy transits from the old steady state to the new steady state? (iii) Suppose that the government contemplates the optimal level of the aforementioned subsidy. Is there a trade-off between short-run and long-run consumption? How is this trade-off resolves? What is the optimal subsidy? Question 3 (30% of the grade; you should allocate about 20min.) Consider the Solow growth model (where the saving rate is exogenously fixed). The production function is y = f(k) = Ak for some (0, 1). The saving rate is s (0, 1), the depreciation rate is = 0, the rate of exogenous technological change is g = 0, and the rate of population growth is n > 0. (i) Suppose that congress passes a new law on immigration that lowers the inflow of immigrants. As a result, the rate of population growth falls from n to n new, where 0 < nnew < n. For simplicity, suppose that this change happens instantaneously and will last for ever. Suppose further that the economy was in steady state before this change. What is the long-run impact of the new law on the steady-state levels of per-head capital (k), income (y), the wage rate (w), and the interest rate (r)? Who benefits from the law, the workers or the capital owners? (ii) Now suppose that, in addition to the aforementioned reduction in n, the law restricts some talented immigrants from entering the country. As a result, aggregate total factor productivity falls from A to Anew, where 0 < Anew < A. How does this additional change affect your answer to the previous question? (Hint: you can first abstract from the change in n, explain the implications of the change in A, and then combined the two cases intuitively.)

Fred had consulted the Codes of Conduct and Code of Ethics on other accounts, and wanted to know on what issues these documents related on the Pfeifer account. The brothers and sisters are directors and officers charged with fiduciary duties in running the corporation. One of the directors, Sue, had recently purchased some property worth $25 million without getting permission from the board. Mike read a note on the memo that read, "Hide this purchase--Pfeifer doesn't want this transaction to show on financials. We don't want other clients to know about this--could negatively impact investment advice. H.S." Mike showed Amy and Fred this note. Fred objected, saying that the Codes prohibit hiding such information. Amy said it probably will never be discovered. Answer the following questions:

1. What options do Mike, Amy, and Fred have in terms of the note? In your answer, discuss issue management theories and strategic management approaches.

2. What ethical system(s) describes the corporate culture at SC&W? Is this an example of Immoral Management, Moral Management, or Amoral Management, according to Lynn Sharp Paine's models? Explain.

1. Show the pre and post-money capitalisation table including the price per share. Investor 1 now proposes to invest $600,000 for 60% of the company, but requires there to be a Employee stock option pool (ESOP) of 15% for management before its investment.

2. Show the pre and post-money capitalisation table including the price per share.

3. Explain the reason(s) for the difference in the price per share in question 2 relative to your answer in question 1.

4. Assume now that Investor 1 allows the stock options to be issued after its investment, Show the pre and post-money capitalisation table including the price per share.

5. Explain the reason(s) for the difference in the price per share in question 4 relative to your answer in question 1. Assume now that Investor 1 invests $1,000,000 for 60% of the company post ESOP in round 1, and then Investor 2 invests $1,250,000 for 50% of the company in round 2.

6. Show the pre and post-money capitalisation table including the price per share for both rounds.

7. Show the pre and post-money capitalisation table including the price per share for both rounds assuming that Investor 1 has a full ratchet antidilution provision

8. Explain the reason(s) for the difference in the % ownership of the founder in question 7 relative to your answer in question 6 Assume now that Investor 1 and Investor 2 have received shares with simple liquidation preference and both are pari-pasu.

9. If the company sells for $2m, what would Investor 1 receive? what would the Investor 1 receive?

10. If the company sells for $5m, what would Investor 1 receive? Assume now that Investor 1 and Investor 2 have received participating preferred stock and both are pari-pasu.

11. What would your answers be to question 9 and question 10?

12. What share of the company each of the shareholders (investor 1, investor 2, founder and employees) effectively own?

Problem 1: Learning by Doing with Spillovers Consider the model of learning by doing with spillovers (Arrow & Romer) presented in class and assume that the production function is Cobb-Douglas, that is, Y m m m 1 t = (Kt ) (htLt ) However, assume there are diminishing returns to technological progress, ht = kt , for some constants > 0, 0 < < 1, where Km kt = t Lm . t i. We want to write the equilibrium dynamics are functions of c and k alone: (a) Express the return R that firms are willing to pay in equilibrium as a function of kt alone. (b) Express the resource constraint in terms of c and k. ii. Imagine the continuous time version of the dynamics in part (a) and draw the phase diagram. iii. Repeat parts (a) and (b) for the social planner's problem (Hint: this is similar to the Ramsey model). iv. How does the phase diagram of part (c) compare to that of part (b)? which line changes, the c = 0 locus or the k = 0 locus? What happens to the steady state levels of c and k? v. If the equilibrium allocations differ from the planner's allocations, describe a policy that would restore efficiency. 1 Problem 2: Tax smoothing Consider a two-period economy. Households preferences are given by U = u (c1, c2, n1, n2) = c1 n 2 1 + c 2 2 n2 , where ct 0 is consumption in period t {1, 2} and nt 0 is lab or supply. Labor is used to produce output with the technology yt = Ant (there is no capital). The wage is thus given by wt = A, for t {1, 2}. The government taxes labor income at rates t in period t, so households' intertemporal budget constraint is given by 1 1 c1 + c2 = (1 1)An1 + (1 2)An2 1 + r 1 + r The government has constant expenditues, gt = g for t {1, 2}. Its intertemporal budget constraint is thus given by 1 IBC (1An1 g1) + (2An2 g2) = 0 1 + r Finally, the resource constraints in the economy are y1 = An1 = c1 + g and y2 = An2 = c2 + g. 1) Consider the household's optimal consumption and labor-supply problem. Argue that the solution is interior only if the interest rate r is such that 1 = . 1+r Assume that this is the case for the rest of the exercise.
