1. In theory, what specific actions could our government take in order to cause a rise of 20% in the volume of new plant and equipment construction activity over the next 12 to 24 months in this country? 2. What specific actions, in theory, could our government take to cause a 20% rise in the volume of residential construction and sales activity in the next 12 to 24 months? 3. What are the "5 Goals" of government policy? Please discuss each goal in detail. 4. In theory, how does the construction of Factory #5 help achieve the 5 Goals of government policy? Please take me through each goal, one by one, and describe how it benefits from Factory #5 getting built on U.S. soil. 5. In theory, would a 20% rise in the volume of residential construction and sales help achieve the 5 Goals? How, exactly?

Text: Review "Mini Case: Planning for Growth at S&S Air" in your textbook on page 129, also found at the end of Chapter 4 in your textbook. Then, answer the following questions: Calculate the internal growth rate and sustainable growth rate for S&S Air. What do these numbers mean? How do you know? S&S Air is planning for a growth rate of 12% next year. Calculate the EFN for the company assuming the company is operating at full capacity. Can the company's sales increase at this growth rate? Explain your reasoning. Most assets can be increased as a percentage of sales. For instance, cash can be increased by any amount. However, fixed assets must be increased in specific amounts because it is impossible, as a practical matter, to buy part of a new plant or machine. In this case, a company has a "staircase" or "lumpy" fixed cost structure. Assume S&S Air is currently producing at 100% capacity. As a result, to increase production, the company must set up an entirely new line at a cost of $5,000,000. Calculate the new EFN with this assumption. What does this imply about capacity utilization for the company next year?

Scenario 10-2 The demand curve for restored historic buildings slopes downward and the supply curve for restored historic buildings slopes upward. The production of the 50th restored historic building entails the following: • a private cost of $800,000; • a private value of $650,000; • a social value of $800,000. Refer to Scenario 10-2. Could the government impose a tax or provide a subsidy to move the market to the social optimum? If your answer is “Yes,” should it be a tax or should it be a subsidy?
