hi,

I wonder if I can get help for the math. thank you

Consider a two-period model of a small open economy with a single good each period. Let preferences of the representative household be described by the utility function U(C1, C2) = In(C1) + 0.8in(C2), where C, and C2 denote consumption in periods 1 and 2, respectively, and In denotes the natural logarithm. In period 1, the household receives an endowment of Q1 = 2. In period 2, the household receives profits, denoted by II2, from the firms it owns. Households and firms have access to international and financial markets where they can borrow or lend at the interest rate y* (* is the interest rate on assets held between periods 1 and 2.) Firms invest in period 1 to be able to produce goods in period 2. The production technology in period 2 is given by Q2 = 19.6 where Q2 and I1 denote, respectively, output in period 2 and investment in period 1. Assume that the world interest rate, "*, is 4% per period (i.e., "* = 0.04 ). Finally, assume that the economy's initial NIIP is zero (B; = 0). 1. Compute (rounding to a 3 decimal digits) the firm's optimal levels of period-1 investment and period-2 profits . 2. State the maximization problem of the representative household and solve for the optimal levels of consumption in periods 1 and 2. 3. Find the country's net international investment position at the end of period 1, the trade balance in periods 1 and 2, and the current account in periods 1 and 2. 4. Now consider an investment surge. Specifically, assume that as a result of a technological improvement, the production technology becomes @2 = 1.2/2.. Find the equilibrium levels of savings, investment, the trade balance, the current account, and the country's NIIP in period 1. 5. Compare your results with those obtained in items 1-3. providing interpretation and intuition
