Assume now that we know that there is only 200 barrels of oil in the ground which must last society for 2 years. The extraction cost is $10 per barrel. Each year, the demand for oil is P = $30 - (Q/5), where Q is the quantity extracted. How many barrels of oil will be extracted in the first year? a. 200 b. 150 c. 100 d. 50 Assume now that the demand in the previous question is now P = 40 - (Q/5) (i.e. that the interest rate is zero) How many barrels would the supplier produce each year so that his combined returns for both periods is maximized? a. 200 b. 150 c. 100 d. 50 Using the information from the previous 2 questions.

Elroy Harris is considering whether to buy a corn and soybean farm in Iowa. The farm will cost $800,000, and Xander will be able to pay this from profits his recently deceased mother made on the stock market and willed to him. He estimates that if he does not run the farm, and keeps his current job as an economic forecaster, he will be able to earn $40,000 a year. The prevailing interest rate is 9 percent. Xander’s only motive is to maximize his income. His accountant tells him the annual profit from the farm is likely to be depending on certain conditions and assuptions: Scenario i) $160,000 of accounting profit Scenario ii) $100,000 of accounting profit Scenario iii) $50,000 of accounting profit Using the concept of positive economic profit, which of the three scenarios would the economic opportunity cost justify him taking up farming and quitting his job as an economic forecast.

Consider the following mini-economy composed of two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2).Firm 1 is a farm and grows $4,000 of Wheat. Firm 1 keeps $1,000 of wheat in a silo to sell nextyear. Firm 1 then sells its remaining $3,000 of wheat directly to Firm 2. Firm 1 uses the $3,000 itreceives from Firm 2 to pay $2,000 to its workers, $200 on interest payments in outstandingdebts, and $800 in taxes.Firm 2 is a bakery and uses the $3,000 of wheat that it purchases to bake bread and sell it. Firm2 produces $7,000 of bread, selling $2,000 to the Government and selling $5,000 to privateconsumers. Firm 2 pays its workers $1,000, pays $1,000 in taxes, and the owner keeps the restof the money remaining as profits.13. Calculate GDP for this mini-economy using the value-added approach.
