In this week’s discussion, we focus on how the market changes when there are changes to the supply or demand of goods and services.
(a) “This year the weather smiled on us, and we made a good crop,” said a wheat farmer in Manitoba. “But just as we made a good crop, the economic situation changed.” This quotation brings to mind the saying, “If you are a farmer, the weather is always bad.” How would use economic theory to explain that this saying might be true and what would you suggest the farmer do to make the best of the situation despite good or bad weather? (one paragraph)
(b) Along with your textbook reading, review the related videos and article for a background on Canada’s marijuana legalization, then respond to the following questions:Do you see any economic effects not mentioned that might occur in the longer period?

Masks (Now).
The easing Covid-19 pandemic is expected to reduce demand for medical masks this year, joining a group of companies that have forecast a decline in business from Covid-19 prevention.
Masks became a billion-dollar business for the St. Paul, Minn., manufacturer starting in 2020, when the virus’s rapid spread sent consumers and healthcare workers looking to secure facial coverings to try to avoid infection. Now, as the latest U.S. surge caused by the Omicron variant fades, 3M said they are seeing slowing mask sales.

New York’s ‘real’ Little Italy
By Danielle Oteri
A It’s a dark winter evening on Arthur Street in the Bronx, one of New York City’s five neighbourhoods. Shops are closing. But as shopkeepers turn off lights and pull down metal grates, the windows of Mario’s restaurant glow yellow. Inside you can see old paintings of Italy’s most famous places, from the Blue Grotto to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. “Some customers have told me they don’t like the paintings,” says owner Joe Migliucci. Joe is 80, but he doesn’t look a day older than 50. He’s Mario’s son, and the paintings were made by his uncle, Ciro. He looks at them lovingly. “They say they’re too dark—too old-fashioned. But this is our history.”
B Mario’s is the oldest restaurant in one of the oldest Italian neighbourhoods in the city. New Yorkers know Arthur Street as the city’s ‘real’ Little Italy, where more than twenty Italian shops and restaurants have been in…

- 1. In her last-minute preparations for final exams, a student has set aside five hours to split between studying for two subjects, finance and economics. Her goal is to maximize the average grade received in the two courses. (Note that maximizing the average grade and maximizing the sum of the grades are equivalent goals.) According to her best guesses, grades vary with study as follows: Study Hours 0 1 2 3 4 5 Finance Grade 70 78 83 88 90 92 Study Hours Economics Grade 0 75 1 81 2 85 3 87 4 89 5 90 a. List the marginal values of additional hours worked for each subject b. How much time should the student spend studying each subject? c. Suppose the student also is taking an accounting exam and estimates that each hour of studying will raise her grade by three points. She has allotted two hours for studying accounting (in addition to the five hours already mentioned). Is this an optimal decision? Explain. (Assume her objective is to maximize her average grade across the three courses.)arrow_forward14- Macroeconomics is the branch of economics that studies________. a. the economy as a whole b. prices of individual goods c. none of these d. the way individual markets workarrow_forward22. The United Kingdom is made up of several smaller countries that used to be independent. The largest is England and one of the smallest, Wales, became unified with England around 700 years ago. The land in most of England is relatively fertile and can be used to grow wheat or pasture sheep. Wales, on the other hand, is mountainous and it is hard to grow wheat or find good land on which to pasture sheep, although it can be done. The land costs of producing wheat and sheep are shown below. Wheat 5 acres/ton 10 acres/ton Sheep 2 acres/sheep 2.5 acres/sheep England Wales For simplicity suppose England has 20 acres and Wales has 10 acres. Now suppose that England conquers Wales and the king wants his economist, to plot out the production possibilities for his unified kingdom. Do not expect the PPF to be a straight line, so plot more than two points. It will be helpful to consider the different patterns of specialization below and plot the points.
