The host of a cable news program insists that we should use a social choice procedure that “reflects the will of the people.” That is, it must always satisfy the Always a Winner property, the monotonicity property, the Pareto property, the Condorcet property, and the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives property. The host asks you for a recommendation. What do you suggest? a)
Plurality voting. b)
A hybrid of the Condorcet procedure and the Borda count. c)
Any SCP that satisfies the Pareto property automatically satisfies the other properties. d)
None –
there is no SCP that satisfies all those properties. e)
The Hare system.

How to Build a One-Match Campfire
Building a campfire that you can light with one match is simple if you follow these easy steps. The first step is to prepare a safe place for your campfire. Clear an area on the ground at least 3 feet wide, and put a circle of stones around it. Second, gather fuel. You will need several sizes of fuel: small twigs, medium sticks, and large sticks. The next step is to build a tepee. Put a handful of twigs in a small pile, and use the small sticks to build a small tepee over the pile. Leave spaces large enough to drop a lighted match through. Next, build a cabin around the tepee using the medium sticks. Fifth, place two large pieces of wood on either side of the cabin, and lay two or three long sticks on top to make a loose roof. The last step is to light a match and drop it through a space in the tepee. Soon you will enjoy the warmth of a nice fire, and your friends will admire…

To earn extra money in the summer, you grow tomatoes and sell them at a local farmers' market for $0.15 per pound. By adding
compost to your garden, you can increase your yield as shown in the accompanying table.
Instructions: Determine the number of additional pounds of tomatoes you are able to grow by using each additional pound of
compost. Then compute the additional revenue for marginal benefit) from each additional pound of compost. Enter your responses in
the table below, rounding the marginal benefit of each pound of compost to the nearest penny (two decimal places).

Prompt-
Questions 1 through 6 will ask you to consider the market for antibiotics. On November 23, 2022, the New York Times published a story titled “Flu and R.S.V. Hit the Holidays, Heightening Demand for Antibiotics and Antivirals”. You do not have to read the story to understand the setup of these questions. Please, carefully read each question to understand when these changes are introduced into the initial scenario. Here is what you should focus on to complete your analysis.
For this analysis, assume the antibiotic market is perfectly competitive, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward-sloping, and production technology results in traditional U-shaped MC, ATC, and AVC
Finally, for all questions, assume market price is always greater than the minimum of the AVC
You will be using the same graph in all questions that require a graph (Questions 1, 3, and 5), with each question asking you to add new elements to the graph as part of your analysis.
