Suppose U.S. drivers purchased $50 billion of ExxonMobil-produced gasoline during a recent year, with one-half purchased directly from ExxonMobil-owned gas stations and one-half from independent (or third-party) gas stations. 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.
Assume that Abdullah has RO 44 to spend on Energy drinks and Protein Bars each month and that both goods must be purchased whole (no fractional units). Energy drinks cost RO 8 and Protein Bars cost RO 3 each. Abdullah’s preferences for Energy drinks and Protein Bars are summarized by the following information: Energy drinks Protein Bars No. per Month TU MU MU/Px No. per Month TU MU MU/Py 1 42 1 18 2 78 2 33 3 108 3 45 4 132 4 54 5 150 5 60 6 162 6 63 7 168 7 66 Fill in the figures for marginal utility and marginal utility per dollar both Energy drinks and Protein Bars. Are these preferences consistent with the law of diminishing marginal utility? Explain briefly. Given the budget of RO 22, what quantity of Protein Bars and what quantity of Energy drinks will maximize Joe’s…

Assume that GBP|USD = 2.00 (rate chosen for math ease). After the passage of a significant tax increase in the United States, the United States stock market is expected to drop significantly over the next month while the British stock market is expected to show steady growth. As a result which of following is most likely in a graph of the currency market with GBP per USD (original equilibrium is USD|GPB = 0.50) on the vertical axis (quantity of USD on horizontal axis)? Drawing a diagram would be useful. A. The supply curve would shift left and the new price would be greater than 0.50. B. The supply curve would shift right and the new price would be greater than 0.50. C. The supply curve would shift left and the new price would be less than 0.50. D. The supply curve would shift right and the new price would be less than 0.50.
