Q3
Suppose that Verania and Josimar are roommates that need to complete some household chores. Vacuuming and washing dishes need to be done. They know from the last time they did these chores that it takes Verania 2 hours to vacuum and 1 hour to wash dishes. It takes Josimar 3 hours to vacuum and 2 hours to wash dishes. Josimar says it does not matter which task each of them performs because Verania is faster at both tasks. Josimar’s reasoning a. is wrong. Because Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, she should wash dishes, and Josimar should vacuum. b. is correct. Because Verania is faster at both tasks, there is no benefit in each volunteer specializing in one task or the other. c. is wrong. Because Verania has an absolute advantage in both tasks, she should perform both tasks herself. d. is wrong. Because Josimar has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, he should wash dishes, and Verania should vacuum.

In the Disney movie Frozen, the Kingdom of Arendelle changes overnight from a warm, flower filled place to being completely frozen (the story takes place in July). Just after this change in weather, there is a scene where two characters visit a trading post. At the trading post one character (Kristoff) is looking to buy winter transportation equipment and eventually sell some ice. The other character (Anna) is looking to buy some winter clothes. A link to the scene can be found in the module. For this assignment, please show how this change in weather would likely effect the markets for winter transportation equipment, winter clothes, and ice (assume the ice would be used by people who want to cool drinks). Specifically, draw a new supply or demand curve for the products and identify new equilibrium quantity or supply if you think the change in weather would have an impact on any of those measurements. In the clip Kristoff calls Oaken a crook for charging higher prices than he…

6. For your birthday, you receive a hamper from your friend, which contains food and drink. They have chosen to buy you 8 packs of hot chocolate and 10 packs of luxury biscuits. Unfortunately, the hot chocolate is not milk chocolate and the biscuits are chocolate chip and not your favourite ginger biscuits! They haven't provided the receipt, but you return to the shop where the hamper was bought and ask to exchange the items. Each pack of hot chocolate was priced at £5 and each pack of biscuits was priced at £6. You face a utility function of U (Hċ, B) = H²B. When you return to the shop, you see that all of the biscuits are now half price, but all of the types of hot chocolate haven't changed in price. You are able to exchange your biscuits and hot chocolate, but can only receive a refund based on the current marked price of the products in the shop. Given this information and assuming hot chocolate is on the horizontal axis and your aim to maximise utility, what should you do? (a) You…
