Melanie and Oli are competing Pacific halibut fishers. Both have been allocated ITQs that limit their catch to 1,000 tons of Pacific halibut each. Melanie's cost per ton is $20; Oli's cost per ton is $28. Refer to the information given and assume that the market price of Pacific halibut is $40 per ton. If Melanie pays Oli $10 per ton for his ITQs and then catches her new limit of 2,000 tons, their combined profit would be: $28,000. $32,000. $40,000.

1) Which is the Nash equilibrium if Boeing produces and why ?     2) Suppose home is a small exporter of wheat. At the price of $100 per ton, home growers exports 20 tons. Now Suppose the home government decides to support its domestic producer with an export subsidy of $40 per ton. Use the following figure to answer these questions.     2) Suppose home is a small exporter of wheat. At the price of $100 per ton, home growers exports 20 tons.

Use the following figure to answer these questions.     a) What is the quantity exported under free trade and with the export subsidy? b) Calculate the effect…

Suppose there are two sheep on the common. A villager is considering adding another sheep. If the villager does, he or she is better off by $5 compared to what he or she could earn as a baker. However, he or she imposes a cost of ________ on the other two villagers who already have sheep on the common.

5. Given that excess demands are continuous and satisfy Walras' law, use Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem to establish the existence of competitive equilibrium in a simple exchange economy. Suppose that an apple orchard is located next to a bee keeper. If the orchard produces x apples and the bee keeper produces y honey and the cost functions of the two are as follows: C(x) = x² + 10x +9 C(y) = y² - 8x What will be the socially optimal amount of apples that can be produced? How does this compare to privately optimal amount?
