Please respond to the following:

• Go to http://sffed-education.org/chairman. Use the Learn More button and review the tight (contractionary) and easy (expansionary) tools of the Fed as well as the use of each. Briefly examine the Economic Dictionary and the Policy in Depth features.

• Now play the game! You are the Fed Chairperson! You begin with 16 quarters, 4 years, then your job is up for review. You begin with rates at 4.5, inflation at 2.14% and unemployment at 4.75%.

• Make decisions on interest rates for the 16 quarters. Summarize the changes you chose and explain your results. Do you still have a job? Why or why not?

Price floor set by government above the equilibrium price
Microeconomics
Bumper crops (i.e., abundant crops) for wheat and corn have historically reduced the number of wheat and corn farmers. A price floor set by government above the equilibrium price for those crops would:

1. Help keep prices lower than equilibrium for farmers due to excess supply.

2. Help keep prices higher than equilibrium for farmers due to excess demand.

3. Help keep prices lower than equilibrium for farmers due to excess demand.

4. Helps keep prices higher than equilibrium for farmers due to excess supply.

While market-based hedging instruments can be used to offset or counter uncertainties in interest rates and exchange rates as they impact the income statement, balance sheet hedges require a different approach. Assume you are the CFO of Toyota trying to offset the balance sheet risks associated with Toyota’s $4.5 billion investment in Georgetown, Kentucky. Please explain how this risk would be offset by a combination of a 15-year Euro Dollar Bond with equal repayments in the last five years and a floating rate 10-year syndicated Euro-Dollar bank loan combined with an interest rate swap. Assume a fifteen-year straight-line amortization of the new Georgetown facility.
Look at the JAL FX loss scenario in the Additional Text Readings where JAL lost as much as or more in FX than the $800 million value of the planes it was purchasing. Then calculate JAL’s cost if it had used a different type of hedge, borrowing US$ to buy U.S. government bonds that it then cashed as each plane was purchased. Generally one can borrow up to 95% of the value of U.S. government bonds with the borrowing cost normally about .25% or 25 basis points above the yield on the bonds. Assume that the yield on the bonds is 8% and that they borrow for the full 10 years noted in the case.

You will calibrate two independent pressure measurement systems: an analog gauge and an electronic pressure transducer with an A/D computer interface. The purpose of calibrating the systems is to relate the sensor output to the quantity we are attempting to measure, to minimize any bias error and to quantify the random error associated with using each system.

You will calibrate the two systems simultaneously using the deadweight tester. We will regard the pressures produced by the tester as shown by the values stamped on the weights as the exact true pressures

 

Data Requirements

You will produce a data table consisting of three columns:

  1. The true applied pressures from 5 to the maximum specified by the instructor.
  2. The analog pressures read from the gauge.
  3. The voltages read from the transducer. Read four digits to the right of the decimal point.

  4. Calculated Results

    For each of the two measurement systems:

    1. Plot the data (as symbols) as described on slide 5 of the presentation.
    2. Find the linear curve fit coefficients as described on slide 9 of the presentation. Use equations (4a) and (4b) to find these coefficients and determine the units of the coefficients, and .

      If you wish, you may also compare your calculated curve fit coefficients to those found by software like EXCEL (trendline) or MATLAB (polyfit). However, please rely on your own calculations for these coefficients.

    1. Now on the same plot on which you have plotted the data, plot the line representing the curve fit using and that you have just solved for. It should appear as a best fit, if you’ve done everything correctly. DO NOT USE TRENDLINE TO PLOT THE LINE FOR YOU!
    2. Now rearrange your curve fit equation to find the so-called field equation, which would allow us to determine true pressure measurements based on indicated measurements were we to use our measurement system in the field. In other words, obtain an equation similar to equation 5 on slide 10.
    3. Find the standard error, , as described by equation 8 on slide 12 and propagate the error to obtain a final field equation that includes an error estimate such as equation 10 on slide 13 (but see comment below).

      Comment: Our calibration process can, and should, minimize bias errors that would result in using, say, the analog gauge without calibration. However, the calibration process cannot reduce the random error associated with reading the gauge. Since we have estimated this random error as 1⁄2 least count 1 , we should really replace with 1 in equation 10, if 1 is larger than . If you find this to be the case, revise your last answer.

    Also answer the following two questions:

    1. Assume that you are now using your calibrated analog pressure gauge to make a reading in the field. You read a value of 148 on the gauge. Use your field equation to report the true pressure at 92 percent confidence. Be sure to report your result with a value with an appropriate number of digits, an uncertainty bracket, units, and a confidence level.
    2. Assume that you are now using your calibrated pressure transducer to make a reading in the field. You read a value of 2.0523 . Use your field equation to report the true pressure at 92 percent confidence. Be sure to report your result with a value with an appropriate number of digits, an uncertainty bracket, units, and a confidence level.
