Assume that oil speculators buy oil and put it in storage. Shift one of the curves in the accompanying graph to show the effect of this speculation and then place the equilibrium point, E, at the new equilibrium price and quantity. What is the new price? $ Why is speculation advantageous for future consumption? O Speculation is not advantageous. Today's prices are higher than future prices. Future prices will be higher. O It tends to smooth prices over time. Price ($/barrel) 100 95 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 55 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 50 1 2 Is 4 D 3 4 5 6 Quanity (millions of barrerls) 7 8 9 10

Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year: 1. Kevin orders 50 cases of mezcal from a Mexican distributor at a price of $90 per case. 2. A U.S. company sells 300 spark plugs to a Korean company at $5.00 per spark plug. 3. Rajiv, a U.S. citizen, pays $900 for a TV he orders from Cosmart (a U.S. company). Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year. Hint: Be sure to enter a “0” if none of the transactions listed are included in a given category and to enter a minus sign when the balance is negative.

2. Consider Becker's Time and Money Prices model and how it applies to waiting in lineups. Richard spends 24 hours a day studying and working in the psychology labs. He also drinks a lot of coffee. Richard's utility function is U = SC. The job in the labs pays $24 per hour; he has no non-labour income. Coffee has a money price of $2.00 per cup but there is also a 15-minute lineup at Tim Horton's and these time prices contribute to the total price he pays for coffee. Studying has no money price, but the time price of studying is 1.0; one hour of studying costs one hour of his time. Assess how much time Richard will spend drinking coffee, studying and working. а. Provide a labelled Indifference Curve diagram to illustrate his choices for C (horizontal) and S (vertical). b. Tim Horton's offers a V.I.P. Coffee Club. The price of coffee is still $2.00 a cup but there are no lineups for a member. What is the most that he would pay to join this club? What happens to the amount of time he…

Read the following statement carefully: "The more magazines Julie subscribes to, the less she is willing to pay for an additional magazine." Which of the following best summarizes the pattern of causality suggested by this statement? O A change in P causes a change in Q. O A change in Q causes a change in P.

Consider the economic model of an individual's labor-leisure choice with the following components: C represents units of the consumption good L represents hours of leisure H represents hours of paid work p represents the unit price of the consumption good w represents the hourly wage rate Y represents nonlabor income T represents total time available U(C, L) represents the individual's utility function MUC denotes the marginal utility of consumption MUL denotes the marginal utility of leisure Unless otherwise instructed, assume that consumption and leisure are normal goods. Whenever graphi the model, put C on the vertical axis and L on the horizontal axis. What is the slope of the budget line? -(MUC/MUL) O-(MUL/MUC) O-W O -(w/p) O-(w+Y)/p

3. Consider a model where a consumer, Mehdi, is deciding how to allocate their 24 hours each day between work and leisure. The take-home wage they initially receive is w = 15, but following a rise in income tax, their take-home pay falls to w = 12. Following this change in the wage rate, Mehdi reallocates his time between work and leisure, as shown in the diagram below. Composite good 41 42 43 Time Constraint 24 Leisure (0-24)/ Work (24-0) Given this information, which of the following conclusions can we reach? (a) The substitution and income effects both cause Mehdi to take more leisure time, meaning leisure is a normal good. (b) The substitution effect and income effects both cause Mehdi to take less leisure time, meaning leisure is a normal good. (c) The substitution effect causes Mehdi to take more leisure time, while the income effect causes Mehdi to take less leisure time, meaning leisure is an inferior good. (d) The substitution effect causes Mehdi to take more leisure time,…
