Table 17-4 Consider trade relations between Canada and Mexico. Assume that the leaders of the two countries believe the payoffs to alternative trade policies are as follows: Mexico High Tariffs Canada trade value = $65 Mexico trade value = $75 Canada trade value = $35 Mexico trade value = $285 Low Tariffs Canada trade value = $140 Mexico trade value = $5 Canada trade value = $130 Mexico trade value = $275 High Tariffs Canada Low Tariffs Refer to Table 17-4, Pursuing its own best interests, when will Canada play the low tariff strategy? Select one: O a. only if Mexico plays low tariff strategy cross o O b. regardless of the strategies that Mexico plays cross or Oc under no circumstances cross o O d. only if Mexico plays high tariff strategy cross or

The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Episteme. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 150. Suppose the federal government of Episteme has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded.…

3. Mercantilism Mercantilism is an economic system which developed after manorialism (from the 15th to the 18th centuries – time period) and is associated with colonial types of government. Some countries that practiced mercantilism included Great Britain, Portugal and Spain (society). Mercantilism is when a country believes that the more wealth it stores up, the greater their government should be. So, mercantilist countries build up their nation's wealth by exporting (selling) more goods than they import (buy from other countries). Countries needed to find places to sell their goods as well as to find places where to get natural resources. For this reason, they found and conquered colonies. Colonies supplied their Mother countries with the raw materials that were used to produce finished goods and then send those goods back to their colonies. Generally, merchants controlled what resources were to be produced and how they were to be used, sold or traded. However, monarchs (kings or…
5. (12 pts-2 points for each subpart) Spring break travel prices are estimated to be 8-10% higher this year. A resort in South Padre decided to run a price promotion for room rentals. They know the elasticity of demand for resort rooms is -2.50. During the price promotion, they expect to be at full capacity with 500 rooms sold per night. Before the price drop, they sold an average of 375 rooms a night. Round to the nearest two decimal places for calculations. a. Does this resort have an inelastic or elastic own-price elasticity of demand? Interpret the OPE given above. b. For them to be able to achieve this increased sale, what would the percentage change in price need to be? c. If the price before the promotion was $250 per night, what is the new price? d. Calculate the revenue before the price drop. e. Calculate the revenue after the price drop. f. Is the price drop a good marketing strategy, given all else is same?
(NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES) The demand and supply functions for oil for the current generation (in million barrels) is: Demand: Qd = 250 – 5P Supply: Qs = 5P a. Other things being equal, assume that the available oil supply is 200 million barrels. Calculate and graph the efficient allocation of resources been the two generations. b. Given the limited supply of oil as a non-renewable resource, should the resource be managed by a monopoly? Explain your answer. Thank you for the help Bartleby! I really need it!
