Suppose the make believe economy of Tinto produces and consumes 2 goods: clothing and food. The following table shows the quantities produced and consumed, as well as nominal prices. For clarity, they produce 100 clothing per week and 400 fooi per week. They claim that they consume 50 clothing per week and 450 food per week. Produced Consumed Price Clothing100 (clothing/week)50 (clothing/week)8 ($/clothing) Food 400 (food/week) 450 (food/week) 4 ($/food) a) What do they export and what they import? How can you tell? Explain clearly and concisely. b) Using information in the table, show why it is not possible for Tinto to consume 50 clothing per week and 450 food per week. (Hint: real price)

Use the midpoint method of calculating percentage changes in this question. Heidi used to bake and sell 3 custom cakes each week when the price of cake was $35. Now that the price has increased to $45, she bakes and sells 5 cakes. What was the 'percentage change' in quantity supplied of cakes for Heidi? %. Is this 'percentage change' positive or negative? What was the 'percentage change' in price of cakes? %. Is this 'percentage change' positive or negative? What was Heidi's price elasticity of supply? (round to 2 decimal places] Is this considered 'elastic', 'inelastic', or 'unit elastic'?
Akua is a School of Agriculture graduate and consumes 2 goods: Yoghurt and Bread. Akua also earns a typical student income from the parents, GHS 400 a month. She can either spend it all on Yoghurts and get 50, or she can spend it all on Bread and get 200 loaves. (a) Assuming that Yoghurt and Bread are compliments for Akua, construct the equation for Akua’s Budget Line for her to consume all her income of GHS 400. (b) What if Yoghurt is so SOUR that Akua needs 2 loaves of bread for every Yoghurt that she consumes?
3. Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table: 2014 price 2014 quantity 2015 price 2015 quantity Tennis Balls Golf Balls $4 100 $6 100 $2 100 $2 100 Bottles of Gatorade $1 200 $2 200 a. What is the percentage change in the price of each of the three goods? b. Using a method similar to the consumer price index, compute the percentage change in the overall price level. c. If you were to learn that a bottle of Gatorade increased in size from 2014 to 2015, should that information affect your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how? d. If you were to learn that Gatorade introduced new flavors in 2015, should that information affect your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how?

Again, please work with the following data set. It describes production of the only three goods made by Economy Zeta, along with their prices, for each of three years. Quantity Price of Quantity of Price of Quantity of Price of of Food Food Energy Energy Shelter Shelter 2018 800 $5 1000 $10 200 $100 2019 850 $6 1100 $12 240 $100 2020 850 $7 1200 $14 300 $100 Year Economists estimate that the average person in this economy consumes 12 units of food, 20 units of energy, and 2 units of shelter over the relevant period. 2018 is the base year. Using the GDP deflator, the inflation rate between 2018 and 2019 for this nation is ______________ percent. (Enter your answer "as a percent, but without the percentage sign." If you think the inflation rate is 99.99 percent, enter only 99.99 in the blank.)
