3. Efficiency in production and consumption levelsConsider an economy that only produces and consumes soy and vegetables (in perfectly competitive markets). Theproduction possibility frontier for this economy is shown on the following graph (labeled P), along with theindifference curve reflecting the preferences of people in this economy (U1).Initially, the ratio of the prices of the two goods is given by the black budget line (X symbols).

The island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident. Assume that $6 is the maximum price for a case of bottled water according to the price gouging laws on the island. Shift one or more curves to show the effect of the accident on the market for bottled water.

Consider the market for hazelnuts. Use the supply and demand model to explain the effect of the following scenarios on the equilibrium price (P*) and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) of hazelnuts. In each of the following scenarios, does the supply curve shift? Does the demand curve shift? If there is a shift of the supply and/ or the demand curve, in what direction? Show graphically. Does the equilibrium price of hazelnuts increase or decrease? Does the equilibrium quantity of hazelnuts increase or decrease? 1. Adverse weather conditions destroy a large amount of hazelnut trees in Turkey, the leading hazelnut producer in the world. 2. The Italian company Ferrero makes a decision to increase the hazelnut content in its Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread. 3. New research finds that hazelnuts lower cholesterol and improve heart health more than people previously thought, and lots of people become aware of the results of the new study.
