Consider a small country with only three producers, X, Y, and Z, who produce ink, pen, and paper, respectively. Y uses ink (output of X) in its production of pens. X produces 1,337 liters of ink monthly, Y produces 56,967 pens monthly, and Z produces 20 metric tons of paper monthly. X sells all of the ink it produces to Y at a market price of $330 per liter. Y sells 43,494 pens at a market price of $0.97 per pen and stores the rest as inventory. Z sells all of its paper at the market price of $834 per metric ton The annual market value of production in this economy is $ (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Coffee is now the second most traded commodity in the world after crude oil. Not only has demand for various coffee products risen sharply in Western countries in recent years, increasingly there is also greater taste for coffee drinks in developing countries such as China and India. In addition, by-products of coffee beans have become popular such as coffee leaves which can be used to brew a tea with known health benefits. However, as a natural produce, coffee plants are subject to weather conditions. Recently major producers such as Brazil have been plagued by droughts. Using the demand-supply model, explain the likely effects of these phenomena in the coffee bean market. How can a market analyst use this information to her advantage?
Rhinoceroses are an endangered species. Worldwide, the number of rhinos has decreased 90 percent in the past 50 years, to about 29,000. Since 1977, CITES has had ban on international trade in rhino parts. The most valuable part of a rhino is its horn. which can be sold for prices that have risen as high as $100,000 per kilogram. Given the very high price, illegal poaching, in which rhinos are killed for their horns, has increased rapidly Interestingly, if done properly, the horn of a rhino can be harvested without kill- ing the rhino, and the horn will grow back. What challenges does CITES face in attempting to prevent international trade from contributing to the extinction of the rhino?
Suppose that Samsung’s production costs are the same in both China and India. Also suppose that Samsung can produce cell phones in China for an average cost of $10 per phone for 300 million phones, $12 per phone for 200 million phones, and $15 per phone for 100 million phones. If customers in India demand 100 million phones and customers in China demand 200 million phones, Samsung’s lowest-cost option is to A. produce 150 million phones in India for Indian demand and 50 million to export to China and produce 150 million phones in China for Chinese demand. B. produce 100 million phones in India for Indian demand and produce 200 million phones in China for Chinese demand. C. produce phones only in India and export phones to China. D. produce phones only in China and export phones to India.
Modify Figure 10.10 to show how much would be sold in both sectors in the absence of anti-price gouging laws. Discuss how these quantities differ from those that result from implementing such laws. Figure 10.10
Identify the following statement's accuracy and briefly state why. government intervention is needed to assist the growth of the local economy. Import restriction is used to limit the supply of foreign products, thus artificially increasing the price of foreign products. Import restrictions such as import tax will increase the price of both foreign and local products. Market failure is the equal and efficient distribution of resources in a market. Market failure occurs due to the failure of price mechanism where the supply of a product does not equal the demand of a product, leading to an absence of an equilibrium point in the market.
The market for rice in an East Asian country has demand and supply given by QD = 28 – 4P and QS = -12 + 6P, where quantities denote millions of bushels per day. a. If the domestic market is perfectly competitive, find the equilibrium price and quantity of rice. Compute the triangular areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. b. Now suppose that there are no trade barriers and the world price of rice is $3. Confirm that the country will import rice. Find QD, QS, and the level of imports, QD – QS. Show that the country is better off than in part (a), by again computing consumer surplus and producer surplus. c. The government authority believes strongly in
If the ratio of the dollar price of a U.S. toy to the dollar price of the same toy sold in China is greater than 1, U.S. toys are ________ than Chinese toys and retailers in the United States should ________. cheaper; buy the toys from American suppliers cheaper; buy the toys from Chinese suppliers more expensive; buy the toys from American suppliers more expensive; buy the toys from Chinese suppliers
Canada’s forestry industry (composed mainly of those involved in the lumber industry) directly employs about 370,000 workers and indirectly employs an additional 510,000 people in support services. Forestry products account for nearly 3 percent of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 14.1 percent of its exports. Lobbyists for the U.S. lumber and timber producers recently filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) alleging that the Canadian government provided a subsidy to its lumber producers and caused harm to U.S. lumber and timber producers. As a result of these concerns, one U.S. lobbyist proposed the imposition of a 15 percent excise tariff on all Canadian forestry products. Determine the likely impact of the proposed 15 percent excise tariff on the equilibrium price and quantity of lumber exchanged in the United States. Would domestic consumers and producers benefit from the proposed tariff? Explain…

Normally, the people of COVID-FREE LAND demand of 3,000 sanitizers and 18,000 toilet rolls. Suddenly, there is an outbreak of COVID-19 and the demand for sanitizers and toilet rolls has increased to 4,000 and 20,000, respectively. How would COVID-FREE LAND meet its new demand. Identify and comprehensively discuss at least three possibilities or ways. State all appropriate assumptions made.
A steel mill, S, produces 20 tons of water pollution for every 100 tons of steel it produces. The downstream village of Watertown (WT) spends $150 per ton of water pollution from S to eliminate itsenvironmental harm. S is a price taker in an international market where the demand for steel is p = 100 – 3X and the market supply of steel is p = 40 + 3X. X is in units of one (1) million tons per day and p is the price in dollars per ton of steel. S has a daily increasing marginal cost of production function, MC = x.S's Total Cost function = x*x/2 where x is S’s daily output.(a) If S has no legal liability for its pollution, what is S’s daily production of steel?How does your answer here relate to the concept of private efficiency?(b) WT wants to bargain with S to reach an optimal agreement on this pollution. Assuming S is still not legally liable for its pollution and both S and WT do not use lawyers, would there be an agreement? How does your answer here relate the concept of private…
