Suppose the government put into place a program where steel makers were given a subsidy based on the weight of nails produced. What would you expect to happen to the size and quantity of nails produced? Why? (Think about what the incentive is here.)

3. Dominos Pizza is trying to attract pizza delivery drivers away from Pizza Hut by offering them hourly wages above the current market wage (assumed to be $8 per hour). If the correct supply price elasticity for delivery drivers is 3.0 and Dominos wants to increase its delivery personnel by 15 percent, then they must increase their hourly wage from $8/hour to: a. $8.40/hour b. $8.80/hour c. $9.00/hour d. $9.40/hour

0₁ 1 tern allia (6) Consider two countries: Fineland and Sineland, producing two goods: mobiles and iPods, under perfectly competitive market conditions. Fineland exports mobiles and imports iPods. Sineland exports iPods and import mobiles. Assuming well-behaved offer curves for both the countries, illustrate with help of a neatly labeled diagram, as to what would happen if there is sudden fall in the supply of iPods by Sineland?

Question 1: Hotelling’s Rule in a rapidly changing market Let’s assume that oil was not discovered until the year 1999. The New York Times writes that“a source of energy with potential disruptive effects on the world economy” is now ready forproduction, and “other countries are watching the developments closely”.Along with many other producers, you own a small oil well. The market is very competitive. Themarginal extraction cost is $10 per barrel. The interest rate is 5%. The annual demand for oil isQ = 90,000 – 2,000P where Q is in barrels per year and P is in dollars per barrel.Use your knowledge about Hotelling’s Rule to answer the following questions: Oil is trading for $25/bbl on Jan 1st, 1999. What do you expect the path of oil pricesand extraction quantities to be from 1999-2010 (assuming no shocks to the market)?A day later, on Jan 2nd, 1999, the Wall Street Journal opens with a story that there is now amore reliable reserves estimate. Total reserves are estimated at 760,000…

What did Lewis mean when he wrote that there was a surplus of labor in agriculture? How does one measure that surplus? To what standard is labor in surplus, that is, in surplus relative to what?

In a market which demand and supply curves are shown below: Price ($/hour) 36- 32 28- 24 20- 16 12- 8- 4- 0 Demand Supply 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 Quantity (units/day) a) Calculate the consumer surplus for the market. (If necessary round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Consumer Surplus = $0 b) Calculate the producer surplus for the market. (If necessary round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Producer Surplus = $0

Price ($/ton) 439 400 330 300 1. Answer the following questions based on the below diagram of the U.S. steel industry. For simplicity, you may assume that the United States is a "small country" (except in part c.), and please note that the precise numbers in this question are strictly hypothetical. U.S. Steel Market 80 88 100 130 Domestic Supply Domestic Demand ¹142 50 Quantity of Steel (in Millions of tons) Refer to the graph above. Assume that the price of steel from Korea is $300 per ton and the price of steel from Brazil is $330. a. Assume the US originally placed a 33% tariff on Korean and Brazil steel. Then the US engages in a preferential trade agreement with Brazil, which removes the tariff on Brazilian steel. Will the agreement result in trade diversion or trade creation? Show the result by calculating the area of consumer surplus, producer surplus and change in government revenue.
