A consumer has $100 of income to spend on books and other goods (a composite good). Books cost $20 each and the consumer's optimal bundle is to consume purchase three books while spending the rest of the income on the composite good. The consumer is then given a gift of a book. Assume the consumer is unable to sell the book. Use two separate graphs to demonstrate each of the two possible scenarios: a. A consumer that is indifferent between the book gift and a cash gift of $20. b. A consumer that strictly prefers a $20 cash gift to a book.

Your task is to respond to this prompt and to cite at least one source. For this assignment, the source may be scholarly or from a periodical. Your source should be documented as a reference using APA style. Be sure to respond to the prompt using concepts from our course. You may use models to illustrate your points. 1. American solar farms receive billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies each year. These subsidies allow them to substitute grain production for energy production. How do U.S. solar farm subsidies hurt or benefit Mexican farmers? 2. What does this imply for U.S. food production independence? What could be done to address this problem, and would the solution be effective? Notice, having a positive effect, a negative effect or no net-effect is a possibility on Mexican farmers. Whatever your answer,…

Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. In this part, you will draw two pie graphs. A pie graph is used to show how a certain quantity has been divided into several parts, as well as to show the comparisons among these parts. 1. The data table below shows the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013, in million metric tons of CO2. On the pie graph provided, complete the graph to show the percent of greenhouse gas emissions for each economic sector. Label each section of the pie graph with its economic sector. The percent for "Agriculture" has been drawn and labeled for you. Economic Sector Electricity Transportation Industry Commercial & Residential Agriculture Percent of Greenhouse Gas Emissions 31 27 21 12 9 80 75 70- 85 65 95 90 wlad Percent 0 100 Agri- culture 55 50 45 10 40 35 20 25 30

Marketing surveys conducted by the sales manager for a company determined that 3,000 power drills could be sold for $60 each, but 4,000 drills could be sold for $50 each. (a) If the two data points were plotted on a coordinate system with the number of drills sold on the horizontal axis and the price of each drill on the vertical axis, what is the slope of the line between the two points? (b) Write a sentence that explains the result in part (a) in the context of this problem. For every additional drill sold, the price per drill (in cents) decreases by cent(s). (c) Assuming the trend in part (a) continues, how many drills can be sold for $56? drills
