我们在例2.8讨论了近几年铜的全球需求的增加,部分归因于中国不断上升的消费。
(1)利用初始的需求弹性和供给弹性(诸如,ES=1.5且ED=-0.5),计算铜的需求增加20%对铜价的影响。
(2)计算该需求增加对均衡产量Q的影响。
(3)正如我们在例2.8中讨论的,美国铜产量在2000~2003年下降了。计算铜的需求增加20%(在1部分你做的)且铜的供给下降20 %对均衡价格和产量的影响。
In Example2. 8 (page 52), we discussed the recent increase in world demand for copper, due in part to China ' s rising consumption.
a. Using the original elasticities of demand and supply (i.e. Es=1.5 and ED=-0.5), calculate the effect of a 20 - percent increase in copper demand on the price of copper.
b. Now ealeulate the effect of this increase in demand on the equilibrium quantity, Q°.
c. As we discussed in Example 2. 8, the U. S. production of copper declined between 2000 and 2003. Calculate the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of both a 20 - percent increase in copper demand (as you just did in part a) and of a 20 - percent decline in copper supply.

At the date of acquisition, shares in Viagem and Greca had a stock market value of $6·50 and $2·50 each, respectively.
Income statements for the year ended 30 September 2012
The following information is relevant:
(i) At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Greca’s assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of two items:
– An item of plant had a fair value of $1·8 million above its carrying amount. The remaining life of the plant at the date of acquisition was three years. Depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
– Greca had a contingent liability which Viagem estimated to have a fair value of $450,000. This has not changed as at 30 September 2012.
Greca has not incorporated these fair value changes into its financial statements.
(ii) Viagem’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose, Greca’s share price at that date can be deemed to be representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.
(iii) Sales from Viagem to Greca throughout the year ended 30 September 2012 had consistently been $800,000 per month. Viagem made a mark-up on cost of 25% on these sales. Greca had $1·5 million of these goods in inventory as at 30 September 2012.
(iv) Viagem’s investment income is a dividend received from its investment in a 40% owned associate which it has held for several years. The underlying earnings for the associate for the year ended 30 September 2012 were $2 million.
(v) Although Greca has been profitable since its acquisition by Viagem, the market for Greca’s products has been badly hit in recent months and Viagem has calculated that the goodwill has been impaired by $2 million as at 30 September 2012.
Required:
(a) Calculate the consolidated goodwill at the date of acquisition of Greca.
(b) Prepare the consolidated income statement for Viagem for the year ended 30 September 2012. The following mark allocation is provided as guidance for these requirements:
(a) 7 marks
(b) 14 marks
(c) The carrying amount of a subsidiary’s leased property will be subject to review as part of the fair value exercise on acquisition and may be subject to review in subsequent periods.
Required:
Explain how a fair value increase of a subsidiary’s leased property on acquisition should be treated in the consolidated financial statements; and how any subsequent increase in the carrying amount of the leased property might be treated in the consolidated financial statements.
Note: Ignore taxation. (4 marks)

Passage One
How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior. of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior. patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?
This passage is mainly about ______.
A.living space and behavior
B.population and living conditions
C.interesting experiments on rats
D.a natural law for human society
What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A.To determine how much living space a rat needs.
B.To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.
C.To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.
D.To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.
The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______.A.are directly related with population
B.may cause an increase in violence
C.may lead to high birth rate
D.may bring about pollution problems
How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded?A.They eat a lot and become friendly to others.
B.They sleep little and act quite peacefully.
C.They eat little but sleep soundly.
D.They become nervous and tend to be war-like.

With regard to this, perhaps their most traditionally sanctioned task, colleges and universities today find themselves in a serious hind generally. On the one hand, there is the American commitment, entered into especially since WWII, to provide higher education for all young people who can profit from it. The result of the commitment has been a dramatic rise in enrollments in our universities, coupled with a radical shift from the private to the public sector of higher education. On the other hand, there are serious and continuing limitations on the resources available for higher education.
While higher education has become a great "growth industry", it is also simultaneously a tremendous drain on the resources of nation. With the vast increase in enrollment and the shift in priorities away from education in state and federal budgets, there is in most of our public institutions a significant decrease in per capita outlay for their students, one crucial aspect of this drain on resources lies in the persistent shortage of trained faculty, which has led, in rum, to a declining standard of competence in instruction.
Intensifying these difficulties is, as indicated above, the concern with research, with its competing claims on resources and the attention of the faculty. In addition, there is a strong tendency for the institutions; organization and functioning to conform. to the demands of research rather than those of teaching.
According to the passage,—is the most important function of institutions of higher education.
A.creating new knowledge
B.providing solutions to social problems
C.making experts on sophisticated industries out of their students
D.preparing their students to transmit inherited knowledge

The Joy of Living Alone
More and more Americans are living atone. Some live atone because of divorce or the death of a partner._______(1) According to a recent U.S. census (人口普查), 25 percent of all households in the U.S. are made up of just one person. This is a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago.
The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely._______(2) The majority of these people have chosen to live alone. They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
It's now socially acceptable, even fashionable, to live alone. As people get better jobs and become financially independent, it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household._______(3) However, people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.
The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it. "Living alone is a luxury," says Nina Hagiwara, 38. "Once you do it, you can't ever go back to living with others." David C'Debaca, 46, agrees. _______(4)
Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please.
_______(5) The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.

That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.
The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest in teams.' So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial world championship become just that.
This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations.
The skilfut way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US $125, gate receipts alone were a staggering $10,000,000.
So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four 25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action. Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level.
Globalization of sporting culture means that ______.
A.more people are taking up sports
B.traditional sports are getting popular
C.many local sports are becoming international
D.foreigners are more interested in local sports
