Questions 1. Consider a 3-consumer, 3-commodity exchange economy. Index the consumers as a, b, c and commodities as 1,2,3. Use the lettere to indicate endowments, x to indicate commodities, and p to indicate prices. Also use superscript for commodities and subscripts for consumers. For example, the endowment of commodity 1 held by consumer a should be denoted as ea. NOTE: DO NOT USE THE SIGN. USE THE NORMAL "+" SIGN FOR ADDITONS. You have to write out the elements of each vector in your equation using the appropriate notation as described above. For example, if x is a (3 x 1) vector and if its elements are denoted as X1, X2, X3, you should write x₂

Illustrate the following with supply and demand curves: In March 2015, hogs in the United States were selling for 81 cents per pound, up from 58 cents per pound a year before. This was due primarily to the fact that supply had decreased during the period. Show this change in the figure on the right. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, locate the equilibrium point for 2015 in the U.S. hog market. Label your point 'E'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the change in the U.S. hog market between 2014 and 2015. Properly label your line 'S2015' (Hint: Perform the steps in the order given.) Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Price (cents per pound) 100- 95- 90- 85- 80- 75- 70- 65- 60-58 E Market for Hogs $2014 55- 50- 45- 40- 35- D 30+ 0.0 0.3 0.5 0.8 1.0 1.3 1.5 1.8 2.0 2.3 2.5 2.8 3.0 Hogs per week (millions)
