PA #1: Africa Apricots & The Apricot ValleyTwo apricot orchards African Apricots and The Apricot Valley sell seasonal apricots to the market. Assume that those apricots are both grown using the same organic practices in the neighboring orchards and do not differ in taste, size, color, or any other characteristics.The market demand is described by the following function: P=AB-Q. P is the price given per one bushel of apricots (a variable), Q is the quantity demanded at each price (a variable). Assume that both orchards have marginal costs that equal C $/bushel. A=1, B=9, and C=3 are the integer numbers given to you. 1.1. Write down the Demand function substituting A, B, and C with the given integer numbers. 1.2. Utilize the Cournot Model and find the Cournot-Nash Equilibrium for this oligopoly market. Demonstrate your algebraic solution. 1.3. Graph the best-response-function (reaction function) diagram for the companies. Demonstrate how you calculated the numbers that represent the…
Consider the theater in which a Broadway play is performed. If tickets for all seats are the same price(say $10), what economic effect might arise?
A railroad can operate zero, one, or two trains a day along a certain stretch of track that borders a farmer’s field, but the trains occasionally emit sparks that set fire to the crops. The following table shows the railroad’s total profit and the farmer’s total fire damage (both in dollars) as functions of the number of trains. (Please show step by step on the math) No of trains RR's profit Farmer's fire damage 0 0 0 1 150 100 2 200 125 A. What is the socially optimal number of trains? B. Assume bargaining costs between the railroad and farmer are zero. Describe the outcome when: i. The railroad has the right to operate any number of trains, protected by a property rule. ii. The farmer has the right to be free from crop damage, protected by a property rule. C. Assume bargaining costs between the railroad and the farmer are high. Describe the outcome when: i. The railroad has the right to operate any number of trains, protected by a…
A village has 4 farmers. Each summer, all the farmers graze their sheep on the village green. The cost of buying and caring for sheep is very small and can be regarded as 0.

Shen and Valerie are farmers. Each one owns a 20-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. Corn Rye (Bushels per acre) (Bushels per acre) Shen 20 5 Valerie 50 10 On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Shen's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Valerie's PPF. 200 180 Shen's PPF 180 140 120 Valerie's PPF 100 80 60 40 20 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 CORN (Bushels) has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, and has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. Shen's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is | bushels of corn, whereas Valerie's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is | bushels of corn. Because Shen has a opportunity cost of producing rye than…
According to the article of Jan 18, 2016 "several Canadians are nominated for Oscars" answer the question that if we consider a production possibilities frontier that measures movies and other goods and services. How does the Production possibility frontier illustrate production efficiency? Use the economic concept.
Can a market be productively efficient but allocatively inefficient? Why is it bad for a market to be allocatively inefficient? Explain your answers.
Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Denall. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor. Almonds Country (Pounds per hour of labor) Sequoia Denall Suppose that initially Denall uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 3 million hours per week to produce shorts, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 1 million hours per week to produce shorts. As a result, Sequola produces 12 million pounds of almonds and 16 million pairs of shorts, and Denall produces 6 million pounds of almonds and 36 million pairs of shorts. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of almonds and shorts it produces.…
Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Corn Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Felicidad produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount…

The prairie dog has always been considered a problem for Canadian cattle ranchers. They dig holes that cattle and horses can step in, and they eat grass necessary for cattle. Recently, ranchers have discovered that there is a demand for prairie dogs as pets. In some areas, prairie dogs can sell for as high as $150. Cattlemen are now fencing off prairie dog towns on their land so these towns will not be disturbed by their cattle. Draw a production possibilities frontier demonstrating a rancher’s production option between cattle production and prairie dog production, showing increasing opportunity cost and what would happen in each of the following situations (using a separate graph for each situation). The government grants new leases to ranchers, giving them 10,000 new hectares of grassland each for grazing. A drought destroys most of the available grass for grazing of cattle, but not prairie dogs since they also eat plant roots.
