- Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Assume that sugar-based soft drinks are produced in a market shown on the graph above. Answer the following questions based on the information given in the graph. (a) To reduce the consumption of sugary soft drinks, suppose the government imposes a $2 per-unit sales tax on soft drinks. (i) Will the price of soft drinks increase by the full amount of the sales tax? Explain. (ii) Calculate the tax revenue the government can collect from the sale of soft drinks. Show your work. (iii) Will the consumer surplus increase, decrease, or stay the same after the tax? (iv) Calculate the deadweight loss created by the tax. Show your work.

What is the autarkic price ratio of machinery relative to rice in each country? Which country has a comparative advantage in rice and which country has a comparative advantage in machinery? Suppose Mexico has 1,000 labor hours available. Construct the production-possibility frontier (PPF) and identify the optimal autarky equilibrium (using an indifference curve) for Mexico.

Suppose Sam is a professional basketball player, and his game log for free throws can be summarized in the following table. Fill in the columns with Sam's free-throw percentage for each game and his overall free-throw average after each game. Game Result Total Game Free-Throw Percentage Average Free-Throw Percentage Game 1 8/10 80 12/20 14/28 16/32 22/40 2 3 4 5 8/10 4/10 2/8 2/4 6/8 80 On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Sam's free-throw percentage for each game individually, and use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his overall average free-throw percentage after each game. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.arrow_forward
- QUESTION 2 After receiving an impressive commendation following a project, Ash realised the key to her inspiration and success was eating goji berries before starting her work. Ash can buy any number of kilograms of berries for $20 per kilogram. Ash gains a total benefit of $50 from consuming 2 kilograms of berries, and a total benefit of $65 from consuming 3 kilograms of berries. Which of the following statement(s) are true: There is insufficient information to determine the marginal cost of the third kilogram of berries. The average benefit of consuming the third kilogram of berries is $15. Ash should buy the third kilogram of berries because the marginal cost is less than the marginal benefit. The marginal benefit of consuming the third kilogram of berries is $15.arrow_forwardMultiple choice question. As opposed to general equilibrium analysis, partial equilibrium analysis looksa) at an equilibrium and changes to it in a single, isolated market.b) at how changes in all other markets effect a particular market.c) at how equilibrium is determined in all markets simultaneously.d) at either price or quantity movements.arrow_forward
