Antonio and Caroline are farmers. Each one owns a 20-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of alfalfa and barley each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing alfalfa or barley or to produce alfalfa on some of the land and barley on the rest. Alfalfa Barley (Bushels per acre) (Bushels per acre) Antonio 40 8 Caroline 28 7 ___________has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and __________ has an absolute advantage in the production of barley. Antonio's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is ____ bushels of alfalfa, whereas Caroline's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is______ bushels of alfalfa. Because Antonio has a ______ opportunity cost of producing barley than Caroline,________ has a comparative advantage in the production of barley and_______ has a comparative advantage in the production of alfalfa.

Consider an economy with 4000 people and the following income distribution: each person in the bottom quartile of the income distribution earns $10 dollars per hour; each person in the 2nd quartiles earns $20 dollars per hour; each person in the 3rd quartiles earns $25 dollars per hour;and each person in the top quartile of the income distribution earns $45 dollars per hour. (2) Suppose the bottom quartile pays no taxes, the 2nd quartiles pay 10% its income in taxes, the 3rd pays 20% and the top quartile pays 40% of its income in taxes. 80% of all tax money is redistributed equally to all citizens in the form of military defense, government pensions (social security), roads/highways, etc. The remaining tax money is distributed entirely to the poorest quartile. What is the Gini coefficient associated with this redistribution plan?
