Consider a hypothetical island with a consumer, a coconut farm, a coconut restaurant, and a government. The coconut farm produces 10 coconuts, which are sold at 2 dollars each. Of the 10 coconuts, 4 were sold to the consumer, and 6 to the restaurant. The restaurant bought 6 coconuts from the farm and 3 from the neighboring island. The restaurant made 9 coconut dinners from the coconuts, and sold them at 5 dollars each. 7 were sold domestically, and 2 were sold to the neighboring island. The consumer supplied labor to the farm, restaurant and the government, earning 5, 4 and 7.5 dollars, respectively. The consumer owns the farm and the restaurant and thus is entitled to their profits. The government collected 1.5, 3.0 and 1.5 dollar of tax, respectively, from the farm (corporate income tax), restaurant (corporate income tax) and the consumer (labor income tax). The government paid the consumer 2.5 dollars in bond interest. The government finances its budget deficit by issuing bonds to the consumer. (a) Construct an income statement for the consumer, farm, restaurant, and the government. (b) Calculate the GDP of the island using three different approaches (expenditure, income and production).

Suppose the UK has 50 hours of labor available, and the US has 100 hours of labor available. Each can use this labor to produce either cars or bicycles. The UK can produce a car using 10 hours of labor, and a bicycle using 5 hours of labor. The US can produce a car using 5 hours of labor, and a bicycle using 4 hours of labor. Suppose that jointly, the two countries produce 15 bikes and 16 cars. Then it must be that the UK only produces bikes, and the US produces both bikes and cars. the UK produces bikes and cars, and the US only produces cars. the UK only produces cars, and the US only produces bikes. the UK only produces bikes, and the US only produces cars.
The U.S. economy relies heavily on international trade. Choose two transactions at random that result from international trade; one where purchases are made from another country and one where the U.S. sends a product to another country. Identify the impact of each of these on imports, exports, net imports, and net exports at the time the transaction takes place. For example, if you purchase a product online that is made in and shipped from Italy to you in the United States what is the effect on the U.S. economy in these four categories at the time of the transaction? In addition, there has been a lot of news in recent years surrounding tariffs. Exactly what is a tariff and what is the impact of tariffs on international trade? Who pays the cost of tarffs?
