- 1. True/False: Partial equilibrium analysis only concerns supply or demand alone, whereas general equilibrium analysis concerns supply and demand simultaneously. 2. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income. 3. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income.From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Musashi increases his production of tea towels, his opportunity cost of producing one more tea towel decreases increases remains constantIn the Disney movie Frozen, the Kingdom of Arendelle changes overnight from a warm, flower filled place to being completely frozen (the story takes place in July). Just after this change in weather, there is a scene where two characters visit a trading post. At the trading post one character (Kristoff) is looking to buy winter transportation equipment and eventually sell some ice. The other character (Anna) is looking to buy some winter clothes. A link to the scene can be found in the module. For this assignment, please show how this change in weather would likely effect the markets for winter transportation equipment, winter clothes, and ice (assume the ice would be used by people who want to cool drinks). Specifically, draw a new supply or demand curve for the products and identify new equilibrium quantity or supply if you think the change in weather would have an impact on any of those measurements. In the clip Kristoff calls Oaken a crook for charging higher prices than he…
- Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount of productive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions: Assume now that the sacrifice ratio is greater than 1, show what will happen to the shape of the production possibility frontier.Which is the correct answer? Coffee and doughnuts are complements in consumption. Suppose the economy expands so that consumer income increases, and coffee is a normal good. What impact does this change in the coffee market have on the doughnut market under a general equilibrium analysis? A. Doughnut demand shifts leftward and doughnut price and quantity decline. B. Doughnut demand shifts leftward, doughnut price declines, and doughnut quantity increases. C. Doughnut demand shifts rightward, doughnut price increases, and doughnut quantity declines. D. Doughnut demand shifts rightward and doughnut price and quantity increase.Determine whether each topic in the following table would more likely be studied in microeconomics or macroeconomics.
- Assume the market clearing price is $5.00 for deli sandwiches and the amount of exchange that would take place at that price is 200 deli sandwiches per day. You, however, don't have this information and have just opened your deli. You decide to price your sandwiches at $9.00 and are willing and able to sell 285 sandwiches per day at that price. When you do this, you notice you sell 100 sandwiches per day. Draw this situation on a graph and then explain what will happen in this market -- i. e., if there is a shortage or surplus, show this on the graph and then explain what the shortage or surplus will cause to happen in the market. Make sure you talk about inventories in your answer.Consider an economy where all production and all consumption is carried out by a single agent, Robinson Crusoe. Robinson, as a consumer, is endowed with H hours of time. His utility depends in hours of leisure, h, and coconuts, y: u(h, y) = (h)1−βyβ with 0 ≤ h ≤ H,β ∈ (0,1). Robinson, as a firm, can transform hours of labor, z, into coconuts y. His technology of production is given by y = f(z) = zα with α ∈ (0, 1). Let p denote the price of coconuts, w denote the price of leisure/labor, and π denote the firm’s profits. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is py ≤ w(H − h) + π. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is px ≤ w(H − h) + π, and that in equilibrium in the market of coconuts x = y and in the labor market h + z = H. Find the equilibrium allocation and price vector in equilibrium.Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.

- 5. Consider a two-consumer one-firm economy with a single input good and a single output good. Consumers' utility functions are u4(x4) Suppose that the input good is divisible and that wA = wB = 1/2. Suppose that the output good is indivisible (i.e., that xg, q = 0, 1, 2, ...), and that the firm's production technology is such that it requires 1 unit of input to produce one unit of output. rA + 3r and uB(xB) 4x? + x. (a) Derive the Pareto set of this economy. (b) For all Pareto-efficient allocations from (a), derive a competitive equilibrium for this economy that generates these allocations.A company that produces brass hardware for doors has the ability to produce up to 6,500 hinges per week but then is unable to produce doorknobs. Or it can produce up to 650 doorknobs per week but then is unable to produce any hinges. In the graph below, use the straight-line tool to draw the company's production possibilities frontier, where the quantities are per week (do not use the point tool to plot endpoints). Then use the point tool to plot a point to indicate the company's maximum output where it is producing exactly three times as many hinges as doorknobs.
