Why can total surplus never fall below zero in a market for goods and services?
A nomadic tribe in Lapland spends all its productive time hunting reindeer. Someof the reindeer meat is kept for consumption and the remainder is sold at a nearbytrading station in return for other goods. It is observed that when the price ofreindeer meat increases the amount the tribe is willing to supply decreases.(a) Sketch this situation in a diagram, with axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘all othergoods’. (Hint: locate the production position and sketch the consumptionopportunities line before and after the price change).(b) Determine if reindeer meat is an inferior good to the tribe?(Hint: consider what happens to the consumption position).(c) How does the analysis change if the tribe can hunt and trade fish as well as thereindeer? (Hint: now label the axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘fish’ and considerboth the production and consumption decisions
