Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC), a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, offered some securities for sale to the public on March 28, 2008. Under the terms of the deal, TMCC promised to repay the owner of each security $100,000 on March 28, 2038, but investors would receive nothing until then. Investors paid TMCC $24,099 for each of these securities; so they paid $24,099 on March 28, 2008 for the promise of a $100,000 payment 30 years later.
Why would TMCC be willing to accept such a small amount today ($24,099) in exchange for a promise to repay about four times that amount ($100,000) in the future?
A feature of this particular deal is that TMCC has the right to buy back the securities on the anniversary date at a price established when the securities were issued. What impact does this feature have on the desirability of this security as an investment?

Please answer both questions
What approach to development would you recommend to a poor country?
What considerations inform your recommendation?

Suppose that the current estimate of the gap between potential GDP and actual GDP is positive (Pot. GDP exceeds Actual GDP). Keynes would, in this case, argue that a positive gap means that there are individuals who want to work but have not found a job. Keynes would argue that this unemployment represents inequities in the distribution of income that can be reduced by government policies stimulating the economy.
Suppose that such policies would stimulate activities with a disproportionate effect on deforestation and increases in CO2.
Would you advocate such policies even though they contribute meaningfully to climate change? Or, would you argue for a different measure of potential GDP that excluded activities that contributing meaningfully to climate change – something like, Green Potential GDP? In other words, that climate considerations are more important than inequities in the distribution of income?
