Consider the following ricardian model with two countries and two goods, books and movies. singapore has 200 units of labor available; the unit labor requirement for a book is 2 and 5 for a movie. hong kong has 100 units of labor available; the unit labor requirement for a book is 10 and 4 for a movie. note: this question is primarily graphical. draw big graphs so it is clear what you mean. every line you draw should be labeled and have it's inter- cepts labeled. a) draw the ppf for singapore and hong kong on two different graphs. place qbook on the y axes. label them their country specific ppf for the remainder of the question, assume the world price of books is $2 and the world price of movies if $1. b) add the free trade ppf for each country to your graphs in part a). label them ppfworld- for the remainder of the question, we will drop the assumption that it is costless to transport books. specifically, assume it costs $0.5 to transport a book (e. g. it would cost $1 to transfer 2 books). it does not cost anything to transport movies. the transport costs are paid by the exporting country, and the world prices do not change. c) add the free trade with transportation costs ppf for each country to your graphs in part a). label them ppfw. t- d) what would happen if the $0.5 cost applied to exporting movies? how many movies would each country export? note: you don't need a graph for this explain in words.

Lo.2, 3, 9 lori, who is single, purchased 5-years class property for $200,00 and 7-years class property for $420,000 on may 20, 2018. lori experts the taxable income derived form the business (without regard to the amount expensed under ⧠179) to be about $550,000. lori has determined that she should elect immediate ⧠179 expensing in the amount of $520,000, but she doesn’t know which asset she should completely expense under ⧠179. she does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. a. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. b. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. c. what is your advice for lori? d. assume that lori is in the 24% marginal tax bracket and that she uses ⧠179 on the 7-year asset. determine the present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets. see appendix g for present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate. e. assume the same facts as in part (d), except that lori decides not to use ⧠179 on either asset. determine the present value of the tax savings under this choice. in addition, determine which option lori should choose. f. present your solution to parts (d) and (e) of the problem in a spreadsheet using appropriate microsoft excel formulas. e-mail your spreadsheet to your instructor with a two-paragraph summary of your findings.
