You produce quesadillas (Q) with beef (B) and cheese
(C). The production process is as so:
Q = 40B - 1.5B² +50C - 1.5C²
The price of beef is $4 per box, and the price of
cheese is $5 per box. The boxes are the same size
and you only have room for 9 boxes in your freezer.
How many boxes of cheese should be purchased?
Your health club offers you “free” parking and unlimited use of its facilities seven days a week if you buy an annual membership for $3,650, to be paid at the time the membership is taken out. Otherwise, you buy daily passes for $10 per day for the use of the facilities, plus pay for your parking. Is your parking truly “free” if you buy the annual membership? Explain.
A newspaper report states that chocolate production is failing to keep up with worldwide consumption and could fall behind by 2 million metric tons annually by 2030.
Does this create an excess demand or excess supply situation? Explain how it will affect the price of chocolates in the future.
The news report further goes on and states that adverse weather and fungal disease are partly to blame. Explain how that affects the supply curve.
How will your answer in b. above change if innovation of disease resistant and higher yielding cocoa trees replace their traditional counterparts?
Read the 2018 article…
5 months ago, Hannah moves into New Oaks Village to live with her sister. The residents of New Oaks pay a monthly payment to the village
association for the maintenance of their village's sewer system. New Oaks often gets flooded especially during the rainy season. Nonetheless,
Hannah does not split the monthly payment with her sister as Hannah is unemployed.
Which of the following statements is true?
Hannah is free riding since she will also benefit from the prevention of flood due to village's well-maintained drainage and sewer system.
The village's sewer system is considered a private good.
Because the sewer system provides service of good drainage to the residents of New Oaks, it cannot be classified to any type of good.
This situation is a classic example of Tragedy of the commons.
Hannah is not free riding because she is unemployed and cannot share with the monthly maintenance.

- A key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyze specific markets. With this assignment, you get a chance to demonstrate your ability to apply what you have learned to the coffee market. Be sure to answer all parts of each of the scenarios below. Students may utilize Paint, Word (the shapes tool), or hand draw the graphs. Scenario 1: Suppose that, as part of an international trade agreement, the U.S. government reduces the tariff on imported coffee. Will this affect the supply or demand for coffee? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before and after curves on the same axes. How will this change affect the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning. Scenario 2: Suppose the National Institute of Health publishes a study finding that coffee drinking reduces the probability of getting colon cancer. How do you imagine this will affect the market for coffee? Which determinant of…arrow_forwardConsider Snackistan, a hypothetical country that produces only burritos.

In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 10% by 2018.

- 3. MARGINAL ANALYSIS. This example problem goes over the degree of comfort experienced at different levels of clean water. The different peso value amounts are shown for every 20% increase in clean water. We want to find the optimum amount of clean water that we should have in this area, and it is important to remember that there is an optimal amount of pollution. Having 100% clean water is probably never going to be the solution. As we would expect, the more clean water we have in our economy, the higher the benefit we receive (we prefer clean water over dirty water). However, as we produce (or clean) more of the clean water we also incur a cost. As more clean water is present, the higher our costs. Note that benefits here is the same as utility. % of Clean Water Total Benefits Total Cost 0% 20% 50 45 40% 100 155 85 60% 90 80% 160 120 100% 180 155 Find the MC and MB.

They propose a bill that would set a price limit of $30 per unit of energy. If enacted, what will be the effect of this law on the quantity of energy supplied and demanded? Is the market on equilibrium? Explain. If not, calculate the shortage/surplus that results.(c) Other lawmakers decide that energy prices are too low and are considering a tax on energy to encourage conservation.
