The citizens of the island country of Carribea were thrilled to learn a major oil deposit was discovered not far off the coast. They were less thrilled when they realized drilling resulted in unsightly blobs of oil washing up on their pristine white beaches and that building derricks spoiled the view from the balconies of the expensive beachfront hotels. Before the oil boom, tourism was Carribea's major industry, but fewer tourists now come to the island because of the oil production. The graph shows the crude oil market in Carribea. The social cost curve is currently identical with the private supply curve. Move the social cost curve to the appropriate position, assuming each barrel of crude oil costs Carribea $20 of tourism revenue. Next, place the DWL triangle to illustrate the deadweight loss caused by crude oil production at the private market equilibrium. Finally, place the consumer surplus (CS) and the producer surplus (PS) triangles on the graph using the socially efficient price and quantity as market equilibrium.

Consider the famous A????1diamond-water paradoxA????1: water is necessary for life and extremely useful, but is very cheap on a per gallon basis (NYC charges $3.70 for 748 gallons), while diamonds are not much use for most things, but extremely expensive on a per unit basis (a one-carat colorless diamond with good proportions and good certification is trading at about $9500 this week). Even though a diamond is more expensive than a gallon of water, you would probably rather have a gallon of water on a lifeboat than a diamond. For modern New Yorkers, are the gallons of water needed to sustain life marginal or infra-marginal? Does the cheapness of water increase or decrease the consumer surplus realized from it? Does the expensiveness of diamonds increase or decrease the consumer surplus realized from them? Is market price the value to the consumer of the marginal unit or of an infra-marginal unit? Make a distinction between market price and consumer surplus and resolve the diamond-water…

Assume that you are in the business of building houses in United Kingdom. You have analyzedthe market carefully, and you know that at a price of £120,000, you will sell 800 houses peryear. In addition, you know that at any price above £120,000, no one will buy your housesbecause the government provides equal-quality houses to anyone who wants one at £120,000.You also know that for every £20,000 you lower your price, you will be able to sell an additional200 units. For example, at a price of £100,000, you can sell 1,000 houses; at a price of £80,000,you can sell 1,200 houses; and so on.a. Sketch the demand curve that your firm faces.b. Sketch the effective marginal revenue curve that your firm faces.c. If the marginal cost of building a house is £100,000, how many will you build and whatprice will you charge? What if MC = £85,000?

Othergrowers let cattle graze on the dismal-looking fields.Abandoning fields will reduce the crop of the world’sfifth-largest wheat exporter, with stocks expected to fallto a 16-year low.

Once upon a time on the tiny island of Nor, all of the people were involved in their daily labor - knocking coconuts out of trees, carrying them to a pick-up point, and delivering them from the pick-up point to the market. All of the people, except Frick and Frack, that is. Frick and Frack were not feeling well on this day and were sitting, listless, under a palm tree. As they sat, Frick was, almost subconsciously, picking up palm leaves and weaving them together, in and out, in and out. Frack glanced down at Frick's work and asked, "What are you makin' there?" Frick looked down and puzzled, "I'm not really making nothing." But, actually, he had made something. It was a small mat. Frack said, "Keep going," and, pretty soon, the mat was about a square foot. The two of them pondered what could be done with this collection of palm leaves when, suddenly, Frack said, "Keep going, but start weaving the leaves tighter." As Frick progressed, the sides of the mat began to turn up, and…

Companies often choose to build plants compliant with stricter environmental standards when they locate in low-income countries with lax environmental standards.
