Suppose that you own a 10 acre plot of land that you would like to rent out to wheat farmers. For them, bringing in a harvest involves $30 per acre for seed, $80 per acre for fertilizer, and $70 per care for equipment rentals and labor. With these inputs, the land will yield 40 bushels of wheat per acre. Now suppose the price at which wheat cab be sold is $7 per bushel and that farmers want to earn a normal profit of $10 per acre.
What is the most that any farmer would pay to rent your 10 acres?
What if the price of wheat rose to $8 per bushel?
Suppose that you own a 10-acre plot of land that you would like to rent out to wheat farmers. For them, bringing in a harvest involves $30 per acre for seed, $80 per acre for fertilizer, and $70 per acre for equipment rentals and labor. With these inputs, the land will yield 40 bushels of wheat per acre. If the price at which wheat can be sold is $5 per bushel and if farmers want to earn a normal profit of $10 per acre, what is the most that any farmer would pay to rent your 10 acres? What if the price of wheat rose to $6 per bushel?
You said that "this may result in a steeper AS curve due to the fact that firms can produce more output for a given price level.". However, I think that steeper AS without the change of y-intercept(shift) will have opposite effect. I drew a diagram to compare different As curves with same y intercept and different slopes. It is clear that for same level; of price level, steeper AS has loer output (Y2) than faltter AS (Y1), could u please explain it for me? Thanks a lot :)

Suppose further that ExxonMobil purchased the oil (which it refined into gasoline) from foreign producers for $20billion and that it receives 60 percent of the sales revenue that independent stations generate from selling ExxonMobil gasoline. In this case, the value added by ExxonMobil to U.S. GDP is $__billion.arrow_forward9 Your boss asks you to purchase b; units of product i for each i in a set P of products. (These products are all divisible, i.e. they can be obtained in fractional amounts.) Of course, your boss wants you to spend as little money as possible. You call up all the stores in a set S of stores, and store j gives you a per-unit price C¡¡ for product i for all i, j. (a) You decide to just order all b; units of product i from the store that gives the cheapest per-unit price for each i. Show that this is optimal. (b) Actually, there is another constraint. Your boss forgot to tell you that he does not want you to buy from too many different stores – he wants you to keep the number of stores from which you buy to at most (integer) k. Modify your formulation in (a), the resulting formulation should be an IP. (c) It turns out that the stores have special deals. If the total value of your order from store j is at least t; dollars, it will give you d; cash back. (All stores j offer such a deal,…arrow_forward
- NOTE: Please explain what’s in the photo attached.arrow_forward1) A manufacturer of breakfast cereals has the opportunity to purchase barley at $3.00 a bushel for 10,000 bushels, if it also buys 5,000 bushels of wheat at $16.00 per bushel. However, the manufacturer does not use any barley in its products, and currently needs 20,000 bushels of wheat. If the current market price of barley is $3.80 per bushel and that of wheat is $15.80 per bushel, should this opportunity be taken, and why? A) Because the company has no need of barley, the opportunity should not be taken. B) Because the opportunity does not meet the company's need for wheat, the opportunity should not be taken. C) Because the value of the opportunity is positive, the opportunity should be taken. D) Because the value of the opportunity is negative, the opportunity should not be taken.arrow_forward6arrow_forward
- Based on Figure 1, choose the right statement. Assume that cloth is the labor- intensive commodity and that corn is the capital-intensive commodity. 1) The qutput of cloth less than doubled because of lack of enough demand. O 2) The output of cloth less than doubled because capital is not used in the cloth production. O 3) The output of cloth less than doubled because labor is the only factor of production. .O 4) The output of cloth less than doubled because only labor increased. Figure 1.
