PRINCIPLES OF MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 4, Problem 1.1P , additional homework tip  1

The figure 1 shows the demand and supply curves for the oil painting, which was sold in auction for $450.3 million. The horizontal axis measures the quantity and the vertical axis measures the price of the commodity. The supply curve is a vertical line because the quantity of the artwork is fixed and unity.

Economics Concept Introduction

Demand Curve: A demand curve is a graph which shows the quantities of a commodity that the consumers will buy at different price levels.

Supply Curve: A supply curve is a graph which shows the quantities of a commodity that the producers are willing to sell at different price levels.

The figure2 shows the demand and supply curves for the hogs. The horizontal axis measures the quantity and the vertical axis measures the price of the commodity. The increase in the supply of the hogs has led to a rightward shift of the supply curve and while the demand remains unchanged. As a result the equilibrium changes and the prices decrease from 81 cents to 70 cents and the quantity increases from Q0 to Q1.

Figure 3

The figure3 shows the demand and supply curves for the organic produce. The horizontal axis measures the quantity and the vertical axis measures the price of the commodity.  The initial increase in the demand for organic produce led to the shift of the demand curve from D0 to D1. However, the increase in the number of farmers producing the organic produce also increased leading to an increase in the supply of the product which shifts the supply curve from S0 to S1. The combined effect is that the price of organic produce reduces from P0 to P1 as the quantity supplied increases from Q0 to Q1.

6. Rent seeking The following graph shows the demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves for a single-price monopolist that produces a drug that helps relieve arthritis pain. Place the grey point (star symbol) in the appropriate location on the graph to indicate the monopoly outcome such that the dashed lines reveal the profit-maximizing price and quantity of a single-price monopolist. Then, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to show the profits earned by the monopolist. 18 200 20 16 16 14 PRICE (Dollars per dose) 12 10 10 8 4 2 MC = ATC MR Demand 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Millions of doses per year) Monopoly Outcome Monopoly Profits Suppose that should the patent on this particular drug expire, the market would become perfectly competitive, with new firms immediately entering the market with essentially identical products.

Consider a call option on a stock that does not pay dividends. The stock price is $100 per share, and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. The call strike is $100 (at the money). The stock moves randomly with u=2 and d=0.5. 1. Write the system of equations to replicate the option using A shares and B bonds. 2. Solve the system of equations and determine the number of shares and the number of bonds needed to replicate the option. Show your answer with 4 decimal places (x.xxxx); do not round intermediate calculations. This is easy to do in Excel. A = B = 3. Use A shares and B bonds from the prior question to calculate the premium on the option. Again, do not round intermediate calculations and show your answer with 4 decimal places. Call premium =
Answer these questions using replication or the risk neutral probability. Both methods will produce the same answer. Show your work to receive credit. 6. What is the premium of a call with a higher strike. Show your work to receive credit; do not round intermediate calculations. S0 = $100, u=2, d=0.5, r=10%, strike=$150
