Due to historical differences, countries often differ in how quickly a change in actual inflation is incorporated into a change in expected inflation. In a country such as Japan, which has had very little inflation in recent memory, it will take longer for a change in the actual inflation rate to be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate. In contrast, in a country such as Zimbabwe, which has recently had very high inflation, a change in the actual inflation rate will immediately be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate.

What is the slope of Japan’s short-run Phillips curve?
a. Steep downward slopeb. Flat downward slopec. Steep upward sloped. Flat upward slopee. Verticalf. Horizontal

Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000

Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
1. Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
a. Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old
b. Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
c. Comparing the profitability index for each choice.
d. Calculate the internal rate of return for the new and old blackhoes.
e. Comparing the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.

Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

A. $180,000
B. $50,000
C. $150,000
D. $90,000
E. $120,000
