Felicity is studying economics and political science. She can read 30 pages of political science per hour but only 5 pages of economics per hour. This week she has a 50 -page assignment in economics and a 150 - page assignment in political science. Because of sorority rush, she cannot devote more than 10 hours to studying these subjects this week. She realizes she cannot complete all of her assignments but is determined to complete at least 30 pages of her economics reading. Draw a graph with pages of economics on the horizontal axis and pages of political science on the vertical axis. On this graph, show the possibilities that are consistent with the constraints that Felicity has imposed on herself, i.e. show her choice set. (She is NOT allowed to read ahead in either subject.) Label key points on your graph with their numerical values.

In this week’s discussion, we focus on how the market changes when there are changes to the supply or demand of goods and services. (a) “This year the weather smiled on us, and we made a good crop,” said a wheat farmer in Manitoba. “But just as we made a good crop, the economic situation changed.” This quotation brings to mind the saying, “If you are a farmer, the weather is always bad.” How would use economic theory to explain that this saying might be true and what would you suggest the farmer do to make the best of the situation despite good or bad weather? (one paragraph) (b) Along with your textbook reading, review the related videos and article for a background on Canada’s marijuana legalization, then respond to the following questions:Do you see any economic effects not mentioned that might occur in the longer period? What major changes do you see happening with the supply and demand sides of the cannabis market in the long run? (1-2 paragraphs; no mini essay).

Question 1 In the 1960s, water was inexpensive. However, by 1965 Canada saw one of the country's worst droughts. At this time, the country produced approximately 70 per cent of the world's supply of wheat. The summer of 1966 exploded into flames as over 1,400 fires swept the state. The country was forced to increase its imports of barley and oats (close substitutes of wheat) which were sold at a lower price than wheat. Ottawa was particularly hard hit by the drought. There was a limit on the water that could be consumed. Rising to the challenge, residents reduced their water consumption by 66%. As the drought continued, Ottawa saw more and more evidence of just how valuable water was. Besides being motivated to conserve, residents were also willing to spend more money SO they would not be as vulnerable again. i. ii. iii. iv. Illustrate and explain the how conditions in 1965-66 impacted (i) the water market and (ii) the wheat market. [6 marks] Is demand for (i) wheat and (ii) water…

3 2. A decision at the margin Jake is a hard-working college sophomore. One Tuesday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 110 practice problems for his economics course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem.

The marginal, or additional, gain from Jake’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Jake’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is problems. Later, the teaching assistant for Jake’s economics course gives him some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 25 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour.” For…
