第6题
4 (a) For this part, assume today’s date is 1 March 2006.
Bill and Ben each own 50% of the ordinary share capital in Flower Limited, an unquoted UK trading company
that makes electronic toys. Flower Limited was incorporated on 1 August 2005 with 1,000 £1 ordinary shares,
and commenced trading on the same day. The business has been successful, and the company has accumulated
a large cash balance of £180,000, which is to be used to purchase a new factory. However, Bill and Ben have
received an offer from a rival company, which they are considering. The offer provides Bill and Ben with two
alternative methods of payment for the purchase of their shares:
(i) £480,000 for the company, inclusive of the £180,000 cash balance.
(ii) £300,000 for the company assuming the cash available for the factory purchase is extracted prior to sale.
Bill and Ben each currently receive a gross salary of £3,750 per month from Flower Limited. Part of the offer
terms is that Bill and Ben would be retained as employees of the company on the same salary.
Neither Bill nor Ben has used any of their capital gains tax annual exemption for the tax year 2005/06.
Required:
(i) Calculate which of the following means of extracting the £180,000 from Flower Limited on 31 March
2006 will result in the highest after tax cash amount for Bill and Ben:
(1) payment of a dividend, or
(2) payment of a salary bonus.
You are not required to consider the corporation tax (CT) implications for Flower Limited in your
answer. (5 marks)

Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 hnmigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation—language, home ownership and intermarriage.
The 1990 Census revealed that a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English "well" or "very well" after ten years of residence. The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. "By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families". Hence the description of America as a graveyard "for language". By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrive before 1970 had a home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.
Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics "have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S. born whites and blacks". By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.
Rodriguez not that children in remote villages around world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet "some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power".
Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social induces suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.
The word "homogenizing"(Line 1, Paragraph 1) most probably means______.
A.identifying
B.associating
C.assimilating
D.monopolizing
第9题

b.在赫克索尼亚,货币需求函数是:(M/P)d=Y-100r:货币供给M是1000,物价水平P是2,针对这个经济,画出r在0~8之间的LM曲线。
c.找出均衡利率r和均衡收入水平Y。
d.假定政府购买从:100增加到150,IS曲线会移动多少?新的均衡利率和收入水平是多少?
e.假设货币供给从1000增加到1200,LM曲线会移动多少?新的均衡利率和收入水平是多少?
f.使用货币和财政政策的初始值,假设物价水平从2上升到4,会发生什么变化?新的均衡利率和收入水平是多少?
g.推导并画出总需求方程式。如果财政或货币政策像(d)和(e)部分那样变动,这条总需求曲线会发生什么变动?
Consider the economy of Hicksonia.
a.The consumption function is given by C=200+0.75(Y-T). The investment function is I=200-25r. Government purchases and taxes are both 100. For this economy, graph the IS curve for r ranging from 0 t0 8.
b.The money demand function in Hicksonia is (M/P)d=Y-100r. The money supply M is 1,000 and the price level P is 2. For this economy, graph the LM curve for r ranging from 0 to 8.
c.Find the equilibrium interest rate r and the equilibrium level of income Y.
d.Suppose that government purchases are raised from 100 to 150. How much does the IS curve shift? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income?
e.Suppose instead that the money supply is raised from 1,000 to 1,200. How much does the LM curve shift? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income?
f.With the initial values for monetary and fiscal policy, suppose that the price level rises from 2 to 4. What happens? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income?
g.Derive and graph an equation for the aggregate demand curve. What happens to this aggregate demand curve if fiscal or monetary policy changes, as in parts (d) and (e)?

a.求出描述这个经济中劳动力需求作为实际工资和资本存量函数的方程式。
b.如果实际工资可以调整到使劳动力供求均衡,那么,实际工资是多少?在这一均衡状态,就业量、产出和工人所赚到的总工资量是多少?
c.现在假设国会关注工人阶级的福利,通过一项法律要求企业向工人支付l单位产品的实际工资。这种工资与均衡工资相比如何?
d.议会不能指定企业以规定的工资雇佣多少工人。给定这一事实,这种法律有什么影响?特别地,就业、产出以及工人赚到的总收入会发生什么变动?
e.国会能成功地实现帮助工人阶级的目标吗?请解释。
f.你认为这种分析为考虑最低工资法提供了一种好方法吗?为什么是或不是?
Consider an economy with the following Cobb-Douglas production function:Y=K1/3L2/3. The economy has 1,000 units of capital and a labor force of 1,000 workers.
a.Derive the equation describing labor demand in this economy as a function of the real wage and the capital stock.
b.If the real wage can adjust to equilibrate labor supply and labor demand. what is the real wage? In this equilibrium, what are employment, output, and the total amount earned by workers?
c.Now suppose that Congress concerned about the welfare of the working class, passes a law requiring firms to pay workers a real wage of 1 unit of output. How does this wage compare to the equilibrium wage?
d.Congress cannot dictate how many workers firms hire at the mandated wage. Given this fact, what are the effects of this law? Specifically, what happens to employment, output, and the total amount earned by workers?
e.Will Congress succeed in its goal of helping the working class? Explain.
f.Do you think that this analysis provides a good way of thinking about a minimum-wage law? Why or why not?
