Question 22: Kathy gets utility from three things: the number of flowers in her local park (F), reading books in this park (R), and eating sushi (S). Four utility functions that might describe Kathy's preferences are shown below. In each case, discuss whether reading in the park (R) is non-essential and whether reading (R) and the number of flowers in the park (F) are weak complements. [medium] (a) U(F, R, S) = 2FR+ S (b) U(F, R, S) = /2FR+ S (c) U(F, R, S) = (V2FR)S (d) U(F, R, S) = /2F+ RS

Question 1 In the 1960s, water was inexpensive. However, by 1965 Canada saw one of the country's worst droughts. At this time, the country produced approximately 70 per cent of the world's supply of wheat. The summer of 1966 exploded into flames as over 1,400 fires swept the state. The country was forced to increase its imports of barley and oats (close substitutes of wheat) which were sold at a lower price than wheat. Ottawa was particularly hard hit by the drought. There was a limit on the water that could be consumed. Rising to the challenge, residents reduced their water consumption by 66%. As the drought continued, Ottawa saw more and more evidence of just how valuable water was. Besides being motivated to conserve, residents were also willing to spend more money SO they would not be as vulnerable again. i. ii. iii. iv. Illustrate and explain the how conditions in 1965-66 impacted (i) the water market and (ii) the wheat market. [6 marks] Is demand for (i) wheat and (ii) water…
