Question 3 The Consider the problem of a firm who produces output in the present and the future period. This firm is endowed with K units of capital in the current period which is exogenously given Ko through investment I. In particular, we have the firm can, however, choose future capital stock following capital accumulation equation: Kº= I. Note that this capital accumulation equation implies that capital is fully depreciated in each period (d=1). The firm's profit is = Y- WN - I in the current period, where Y = ZF (K,N) is output, w is wage, and N is employed labor. Similarly, the profit in the future period is given by π°= Y₁- w°N° where Yo= z°F (KN) is future output, wo is future wage, N° is future labor demand. Note that there is no value of capital left over after production in the future period due to full depreciation (d= 1). The firm maximizes the present value of profits given by Answer the following questions. 1. 2. 3. πο V = x+ 1+1 Write down the firm's profit maximization problem. Derive labor demands for both the current period and the future period as functions of K and K 2 Derive the optimal rule of investment.

100-There are multiple stages in a business life cycle. Sometimes they generate higher return while sometimes they face losses due to some unexpected events like COVID-19. Accounting literature comes forward in support of business in the form of transferring amounts across the years to fil this gap for the moment. There is no doubt that this will be showing a very glowing picture from the business side but it can also be a. Misleading as the investor thinks very positive which is not true b. None of the options c. Better as the investor is expecting a positive return in the future perspective d. Leading to higher share price in the open market resulting in good corporate image

1. Hula hoop fabrications cost $100 each. The H2H company is trying to decide how many of these machines to buy. The number of hoops for each year and for each level of capital stock shown as follows: Number of fabrications Number of Hoops produce per year 1 100 2 150 3 180 4 195 205 210 Hula Hoop have a real value of $1 each. There is no other costs besides the cost of fabricators. a) Find the expected future marginal product of capital (in terms of dollar) for each level of capital. b) If the real interest rate is 12% per year, and the depreciation rate of capital is 20% per year, find the user cost of capital (in dollar per fabricator per year). How many fabricators should H2H buy? c) Repeat part (b) for a real interest rate of 8% per year? d) Repeat part (b) for a 40% tax on H2H's sales revenues. e) A new innovation doubles the number of hoops fabricator can produce.
