Question 2: Collection and analysis of primary data
Imagine that you have decided to research the topic of decision-making in households in relation to quality of life
OR human capital. Specifically, you want to investigate whether there is support for theories of household
decision-making and whether there is any evidence that different approaches to decision-making have a
differential impact on either quality of life or human capital formation.

Question 3: Collection and analysis of secondary data
i. Produce some descriptive statistics and draw histograms for the variables relevant to the analysis of the
research question. Then analyse the main features of the distribution of each variable and the relationships
between them. Are the relationships between price cost margin, market concentration and advertising
intensity as economic theory would suggest? (20 marks)
ii. Write down an econometric model that analyses the impact of market structure on performance, based on
the results from Part (i) and also on your knowledge of economic theory. Drawing on economic theory taught
in this module, briefly explain what sign (positive or negative) you expect to observe for the coefficients of
the independent variables in your equation. (15 marks)
iii. Using a suitable econometric method, estimate the model you were asked to write down in Part (ii). Report
the estimation output and explain your results. Your explanation should include a discussion of the
robustness of your model, its limitations, and any additional steps you have taken to check for common
econometric issues. (30 marks)
i. Prepare a plan for a semi-structured interview – based on theories of decision-making in households – with
individuals who live in couples. The plan might include a statement of interview aims, i.e. the research
question the interview seeks to address; a set of questions to be asked, which might be grouped into themes
if appropriate; and a brief indication of how the findings will be used and analysed.
ii. Recruit a volunteer to be interviewed, and use your list to undertake the interview, based on your research
question. Keep the interview quite short – no longer than ten minutes. To complete this exercise, you will
need some results from the interview (in the unlikely event that the first interview is not informative or calls
for a complete rewrite of your questions, it might be prudent to find another interviewee).
iii. Write up your notes on the responses of your interviewee(s).
iv. Code these notes using headings relevant to your research question. If possible, use economic theory to
help with your headings and coding.
v. Write a brief summary of your findings from the interview(s).
vi. Finally, make short notes on the interview experience: what aspects were successful and what would you do
differently another time

Question 1 (15 marks)
BHP Billiton and its partner Vale do Rio Doce (‘Vale’) have a joint venture in Brazil called Samarco. Each company owns 50% of the mine (Samarco). Samarco was set up to explore for minerals in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. During this exploration, a dam collapsed and killed more than 300 people in 2015 (Timm-Garcia, Darlington, & Castelli, 2021; Herbert, 2021). Assume since the collapse, this joint venture has paid US$ 2 billion in total, distributing in 2016 (US$ 300 million), 2017 (US$ 1.2 billion), and 2018 (US$ 500 million). On 4 February 2021, Vale agreed to pay US$7 billion in compensation after many years of negotiation with the Brazilian authorities. In addition, Vale provisioned an amount of US$1 billion in compensation to be paid in the financial year ending in 2021. Assume managers of Vale discussed the amount of the provision with their accounting departments and a consulting firm that you work for during early 2022. The consulting firm and the accountants believed that the amount of US$ 1 billion was not conservative, suggesting rather, that a provision of US$ 7.5 billion should be made. The managers decided for the ‘good of our shareholders, that they we will make a provision of US$ 1 billion’.
Required:
Critically evaluate whether the decision of Vale’s management to make a provision of US$ 1 billion was ‘good’ for the users (financial and non-financial users) of the financial accounts. Include in your evaluation, references from relevant accounting regulation (both standards and the conceptual framework) and an ethical evaluation of the impact of this decision.

Question 2 (10 marks)
In 2021, Vale do Rio Doce Ltd. had a financial crisis which forced them to make drastic decisions to reduce their operating costs. Vale owned a machine which was important for generating income. However, BHP Billiton could not find a similar machine on the market. Due to their strong relationship, Vale do Rio Doce Ltd. decided to lease their machine to BHP Billiton. On 30 June 2022, BHP Billiton Ltd. leased the machine from Vale do Rio Doce Ltd. The finance lease agreement contained the following provisions:
| Lease term | 4 years |
| Annual rental payment, in advance on 30 June each year (starting at 30/06/2022) | $43,400 |
| Estimated useful life of asset | 5 years |
| Estimated residual value of machine at end of lease term | $12,000 |
| Residual value guarantee by lessee | $9,000 |
| Interest rate implicit in the lease | 9% |
The lease is cancellable, but only with the permission from the lessor. Included in the annual rental payment is an amount of $1,340 to cover the costs of maintenance and insurance paid for by the lessor. BHP Billiton Ltd. intends to return the machine to the Vale do Rio Doce Ltd.
Required:
- Calculate the lease liability and the right-to-use asset.
