3. [Sometimes, it's useful to think about what fraction of a consumer's money they spend on each good, rather on how many units they buy. (a) Show that every x EX(p,m) can be written as x = f1(m/p₁,0) + f2(0, m/p2 ) + (1-f1-f2)(0,0) for some numbers f1,f2 20 with f1 + f2 ≤1. (b) Let f1 and f2 be as in part (a). Give an expression, in terms of f1 and f2, for the fraction pix₁/m of the consumer's money that they spend on good 1. (c) Let f1 and f2 be as in part (a). Give an expression, in terms of f1 and f2, for the fraction p2x2/m of the consumer's money that they spend on good 2
2. (a) What does the index of intra-industry trade measure and does it tell us anything about the total amount of trade? (b) There are two ways of measuring the degree of intra-industry trade within an industry: min (imports, exports) Index of intraindustry trade = 1 2 (imports + exports) -(lexpe (lexports - imports| exports + imports Grubel Lloyd index = 1 - Using the first formula, calculate the index of intra-industry trade for the U.S in 2014 for the products on Table 1. Using your answer in (b) above, what does the index of intra- industry trade of men's shorts, large passenger aircraft, telephones and golf carts tell us? (d) What are the two necessary conditions to obtain a high index of intra-industry trade?

All numbers are in billions of dollars. The interest rate and the level of investment spending in the economy are at point C on the investment demand curve. To achieve the long-run goal of a noninflationary full-employment output Qf in the economy, the Fed should: decrease aggregate demand by increasing the interest rate. make no change in the interest rate. increase aggregate demand by decreasing the interest rate. increase aggregate demand by increasing the interest rate.

1. Individual Problems 1-11 The owners of a small manufacturing concern have hired a vice president to run the company with the expectation that he will buy the company after five years. For the first $150,000 of profit, the vice president's compensation is a flat annual salary of $50,000 plus 50% of company profits. Beyond the first $150,000 in profits, the vice president's compensation is the salary he receives at $150,000 profit plus 20% of company profits in excess of $150,000. On the following graph, use the purple points (diamond symbols) to plot the vice president's salary as a function of annual profit, for the profits levels of $0, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000, $200,000, $250,000, and $300,000.

5. (b) Are the following statements true or false? Justify your answer (simply saying true or false will carry no credit). i) "A labor market dominated by a single buyer achieves Pareto efficiency if the buyer operates as a perfectly discriminating monopolist". ii) "A cake is divided between two individuals; Pareto optimality requires that they receive equal shares".
3. (10 points) At the recent shareholders' meeting in June 2023, the CEO of a small bank proposed a plan to offer each of its employees 250 incentive options for Class A common stock. The key provisions of the plan are that employees must exercise the options between January 2027 and December 2028, and if an employee terminates their employment with the bank (or is terminated) before January 2027, the options are no longer exercisable. As CEO, how would you defend the stock option plan to the shareholders? Please give an explanation. (Note: A stock option is a form of employee compensation where the firm gives the employee an option to purchase equity shares in the company at an agreed upon price, which is usually the market price of the stock on the day the option is granted. These shares would be bought from the company and not on the open market. After the date when the company states that the option can be exercised, which is some time in the future, any time the market value of…
