The future of Trinidad and Tobago cocoa industry- August 5th. 2020 [adapted from theTrinidad and Tobago Express newspaper]The announcement last Wednesday of the launch of Angostura's new cocoa Bitters is a good exampleof the future of the sector as a whole in Trinidad and Tobago: a dynamic bringing together of thehistory and heritage of the cocoa sector in T&T blended into a distinctive bottle. It is a very excitingproject that should act as an ambassador for promoting Trinitario globally.There is an opportunity in finding unique products, working with unique brands and creating a uniqueexperience. In short, getting our cocoa to be used in different places and in different ways. That couldbe bitters or it could be a range of culinary applications and distinctive value-added products likefrozen desserts, in coffee houses and ice creams. Everyone makes a chocolate bar. We in T&T can doso much more than that.Indeed, Trinidad & Tobago Fine Cocoa Company (TTFCC) is mentioned as an innovative chocolatecompany in the Caribbean region by the Lonely Planet Global Chocolate Tour. There is no reason whyT&T should not be able to capitalise on initiatives like this. We have the expertise; we have theequipment and we have the creativity so let's go!Unique experiences involve taking the consumer to experience something of origin. Allowingsomeone to go on a holiday through taste and storytelling. In Trinidad and Tobago, the future is beingable to do that. How we do that is to work on improving our online retailing, having consumers beallowed to access our products anywhere in the world and be able to ship anywhere in the world. Thishas been achieved by TTFCC through its partnership with DHL and there is no reason why anyoneelse can't do that.

Economies of scale is essentially a measure of the efficiency of production. It is the process of a…

Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, andhiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discoversthat it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such adecision.Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs andfound itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, anelectricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing itscurrent aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increaseits profit by simply reselling its electricity.When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. Oneimportant concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation inSpokane, Washington, entered into a…
3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Madison operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells phone cases. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for phone cases with a market price equal to $25 per phone case. The following graph shows Madison's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for phone cases for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Madison produces. TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars) 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 0 * U 0 1 O 2 n D 0 3 QUANTITY (Phone cases) ■ Total Cost O Total Revenue Profit Calculate Madison's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven phone cases they produce, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity.
Suppose the market for fresh pork is a competitive market. Initially, it is operatingat its long-run competitive equilibrium at a market price of $50.Owing to the spread of COVID-19, many people turn to buying frozen meat oncea week rather than fresh pork every day. As a result, the market price of fresh porkreduces to $30.a. With the aid of a pair of market-and-firm diagrams, illustrate how thiswould affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the fresh pork market andthe output of a typical butcher of fresh pork in the short-run.b. Suppose, for the situation in (a), the average cost of a typical butcher offresh pork is $40, which includes $15 on buying meat from suppliers, $12on paying rent, $8 on paying hourly wages on staff, and $5 on other costs.Explain whether a typical butcher should shut down in the short run.

Use the photos to solve the problem below exercise 14 Imagine that firm X chooses their quantity first, then firm Y observes the quantity of firm X and chooses their own quantity. What quantities will they end up choosing? Is there a first or second-mover advantage here? [You may assume that firm X can only choose quantities that are multiples of 200. This prevents you from having to deal with prices that are not on the schedule. Also it means you've done all the busy work already--assuming you did the assignment last week.....and got it right. So this shouldn't require a lot of calculations, just a little thinking about how equilibrium works in a sequential-move game. Oh, and just give me the quantity for each firm, don't worry about giving me a complete strategy for firm Y.]
