Gary likes to gamble. Donna offers to bet him $54 on the outcome of a boat race. If Gary's boat wins, Donna would give him $54. If Gary's boat does not win, Gary would give her $54. Gary's utility function is p₁x² +p2x², where p₁ and på are the probabilities of events 1 and 2 and where x₁ and X2 are his wealth if events 1 and 2 occur respectively. Gary's total wealth is currently only $80 and he believes that the probability that he will win the race is 0.4. Which of the following is correct? (please submit the number corresponding to the correct answer).

1. Refer to the diagram below: Price (per bushel) $10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 X 2 4 8 10 12 Quantity of wheat (thousands of bushels per period) 6 (a) Suppose that the government introduced a new migration policy which has led to an increase in the number of consumers in the market. Due to this policy change, there is an increase in demand of 2,000 bushels at each price, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of bushels? Show the impact on the graph above and label it A. (b) Shortly after the announcement of the new immigration policy, there was a wild fire that destroyed some of the wheat harvesting plains. This led to a decrease in supply of 2,000 bushels at each price at the same time. What would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of bushels (Hint: your starting equilibrium should be A)? Show the impact on the graph above and label it B.

14. Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture The following graph illustrates the market for walnuts. It plots the monthly supply of walnuts and the monthly demand for walnuts. Suppose an increase in pests destroys a major portion of walnut trees. Show the effect this shock has on the market for walnuts by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 40 32 8 0 8 16 I I 1 11 24 Supply Demand QUANTITY (Thousands of tons) 32 Total Revenue (Thousands of Dollars) 40 Demand D Supply ? One of the growers is pleased with the price increase caused by the pests because she believes it will lead to increased revenue. Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a rise or fall in total revenue in this market. Using…
