- Suppose two bars, “the Last Jar” and “Prince Alfred”, can choose to sell a pint of beer for either $10 or $12. For simplicity, assume that: these are the only two possible prices; there are no costs (e.g., there is no cost for obtaining and serving the beer), and each customer drinks exactly one pint of beer. There are two types of customers: professors and students. Professors are not price-sensitive and go to the bar closest to their department’s building. Thus, 50 professors from the Melbourne School of Engineering go to Prince Alfred, while 50 professors from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education go to the Last Jar. Meanwhile, the students, who are 200 in total, are price sensitive. They go to the bar with the lowest price –or, if both bars charge the same price, then they split evenly. Sequential game: a) Suppose the Last Jar chooses what price to set first. Then, after observing the price set by the Last Jar, Price Alfred chooses what price to set. Draw the extensive form…Benny and Danny live next to each other in a student resident building on campus. Benny is a metal-head (likes loud heavy metal music) and Danny is a bookworm (likes a quiet environment to study). From rocking out to heavy metal, Benny gets a benefit of $100. When Benny’s music is playing Danny suffers a cost of $175. Suppose Benny is given the right to listen to his music. [9] According to the Coase Theorem, describe the transaction, if any, that will be made between Benny and Danny.Explains it correctly not incorrect solution provide me,ok
- 5Explain why an economy in which airlines charge different passengers different prices for the same flight will not have exchange efficiency. b. Going back to our two good (Apples, Oranges), two person (Ed, Mary) economy, suppose that at a given allocation, Ed’s MRSAO is 3 and Mary’s MRSAO is 1. Use proof by contradiction to show that this allocation is not exchange efficient. Identify a trade that will increase the utility of Ed and Mary. Explain. Show this graphically (with indifference curves). Going back to our two good (Apples, Oranges), two person (Ed, Mary) economy, suppose that at a given allocation, Ed’s MRSAO is 3 and Mary’s MRSAO is 1. Use proof by contradiction to show that this allocation is not exchange efficient. Identify a trade that will increase the utility of Ed and Mary. Explain. Show this graphically (with indifference curves).1. True/False: Partial equilibrium analysis only concerns supply or demand alone, whereas general equilibrium analysis concerns supply and demand simultaneously. 2. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income. 3. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income.
- Assume you have a two-good model: Beverages are on the X axis and Food on the Y axis. You have a $400 budget. The price of beverage is $10, and the price of food is $20. a. Graphically illustrate the budget line correctly. b. Now assume the price of food decreases to $10 ceteris paribus. Graphically note the change on the same graph. PLEASE SOLVE THIS QUESTION WITH PROPER AND UNDERSTANDABLE GRAPH3. Jane is currently consuming 4 glasses of milk and 10 cookies, while Betty is consuming 9 glasses of milk and 3 cookies. Jane views milk and cookies as perfect substitutes (her MRS is 1), while Betty prefers cookies to milk and is willing to give up 3 glasses of milk to get 1 cookie. Is the current allocation of milk and cookies Pareto efficient? Explain with use of a diagram.An economy consists of two people and two goods, apples and bananas. Person 1 likes apples and doesn't care one way or the other about bananas (she is indifferent between any bundles (a,b) and (a.b'), where a is some number of apples and b and b' are numbers of bananas). Similarly, Person 2 likes bananas and doesn't care one way or the other about apples. There are 100 apples and 100 bananas available and the initial endowments are ₁ = (60, 60) for person 1 and ₂ = (40, 40) for person 2 (the first quantity for each person is her endowment of apples, and the second is bananas). (a) Find the Pareto Efficient allocations of apples and bananas between these two individuals. (b) Find the core. (e) Find the general equilibrium allocation and the general equilibrium prices. (recall that in a general equilibrium we can only solve for the price ratio but we can't solve for each price individually). P2
