Consider (again!) a 2 period model (assumptions: P=8- 0.4Q, MEC=2, r=10%, reserves = 20 units, similar to the example discussed in the lectures) where the government sets a price ceiling of Pc=4. We found that the efficient price in period 2 is 4.095. This means that the price control will be binding/constraining in the second time period, that is you know that P2 * =4. a. Derive the quantity allocation across time periods (Q1

*, Q2*) given the price control

b. Derive the resource price in period 1 that yields this allocation (P1*)

c. What is the Marginal User Cost in both time periods (MUC1*, MUC2*)

d. Compute the present total surplus with price control and compare to the surplus

without it

e. Explain the intuition behind this result.

Bond x is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 7% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. your required return on bond x is 10%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. you (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 9.5%. how much should you be willing to pay for bond x today? (hint: you will need to know how much the bond will be worth at the end of 5 years.) do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to the nearest cent.
