Question 10 The table below represents a country's ordinary demand and supply for peanuts. This country is a small importer. Suppose that the world price of peanuts is $4. Finally, suppose that this country levies a $4 tariff. What is the dollar value of the net change in social welfare resulting from the tariff? Do not include a dollar sign in your answer. Use a negative sign if you think that the tariff reduces social welfare. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Quantity Demanded Price 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 1,300 1,100 900 700 500 300 100 Quantity Supplied 100 200 300 400 500 600 700

A distillery makes whisky, where its profits from production per bottle are given by T = p – y? where p is the price it charges per bottle and y is the number of years the bottle is aged. There are two types of whisky drinkers, connoisseurs (H type) and casuals (L type). H-type have utility UH (y, p) = 8y – p, while L-type have utility uz (y, p) = 2y – p. There are 10 consumers of each type, and each will buy at most one bottle. Each consumer's utility if she does not buy is 0. If a consumer is indifferent between buying two bottles, assume she will buy the more aged one (the one with higher y). If a consumer is indifferent between buying a bottle and not buying, assume she will buy. Bottles are characterised by (y, p), years of age and price. For each menu of offerings below, calculate the distillery's profit. (1, 9) and (4, 24) (1, 2) and (4, 24) (1, 2) and (2, 24) Calculate the firm's profits when it chooses the optimal menu.
You serve 3,000 private-pay patients and 1,000 health maintenance organization (HMO) members. Your fixed costs are $50,000 and your incremental cost is $50. You currently charge private-pay patients $75 and HMO members $60. This line of business is profitable. Profits would increase if you stopped serving HMO members. You should stop serving HMO members if fixed costs increased to $60,000. All of the above

How might imperfect information impact price? Group of answer choices Because buyers cannot determine the true quality of a product, they might tend to bid up the prices. Because they might not be able to present all the information about a product, sellers might temporarily lower the price to make potential buyers think the product is of excellent quality. Imperfect information might tend to cause prices to be perfectly elastic. Buyers cannot distinguish which goods have a higher quality and might be less likely to pay higher prices for that good.
