The A-1 Corporation supplies airplane manufacturers with preformed sheet metal panels that are used on the exterior of aircraft. Manufacturing these panels requires only five sheet metal-forming machines, which cost $500 each, and workers. These workers can be hired on an as-needed basis in the labor market at $9,000 each. Given the simplicity of the manufacturing process, the preformed sheet metal panel market is highly competitive. Therefore, the market price for one of A-1's panels is $70. Based on the production data in the accompanying table, how many workers should A-1 hire to maximize its profits?

John is planning to travel to a country where there is some risk of contracting yellow fever. The direct market price for the medication that prevents yellow fever is $125. It would take him 2 hours to visit his doctor and get the prescription filled. The opportunity cost of his time is $25/hour. If he contracts yellow fever we assume that he will be sick and not able to work full days for two weeks. Under these conditions, let's assume he can work half days and has no vacation or sick time to use. His company will not pay him when he is sick and not working. His out of pocket expenses for medication, doctors’ visits, and lab tests to treat the yellow fever will be $500. His normal salary is $1,000 per week. John believes that his chance of getting yellow fever without preventative medicine is about 20%. His chance of getting yellow fever with the medication is 0%. There is no pain and suffering to be considered in this problem. What is the maximum price that John would pay…

For an exhaustible resource A. The dynamically efficient allocation is consistent with equalizing the marginal benefits of extracting the resource to the marginal costs of extraction over time B. All market failures we discussed resulted in exhaustible resources being extracted faster than is socially optimal C. The ending price, after extraction is equal, is the minimum of something called a choke price and the price of a substitute D. The choke price can never be infinite if MC of extraction are positive..
In 1976, the parents of a seven-year-old boy sued a New York hospital for$3.5 million. The boy was blinded shortly after he was born two weekspremature. His parents claimed that hospital doctors administeredexcessive oxygen to the baby and that this caused the blindness. Thecase went to trial, and just as the jury announced it had reached averdict, the lawyers for the two sides arrived at an out-of-courtsettlement of $500,000.a. If you were the parents, how would you decide whether to accept thesettlement or wait for the jury’s decision? What probabilityassessments would you need to make? Would you have accepted thesettlement?b. Answer the questions in part (a), taking the hospital’s point of view.

In Rivendell live the finest jewellery making elves. The local demand and supply of jewelleries in Revendell are given by QD = 16–3P QS = 5P. We assume the market in Rivendell is perfectly competitive. The jewelleries are highly desired by men, and the price is PW=3 in human society. Assume the elves in Rivendell are price takers. To increase the producers’surplus back to the pre-Covid level, Elrond, the King of Rivendell, decides to subsidize the elves withthe price difference s=PW-PCE for every unit of jewellery they make. Recall that PCE $2. Calculate the price that the sellers receive, the price the consumers pay, and the quantity traded in the equilibrium after the introduction of subsidy. Use a demand and supply diagram to explain your answers.
Only elves live inn Rivendell. Elves in Rivendell are expert jewelry makers. In the perfectly competitive market for jewelry in Rivendell, the demand and supply are given by QD = 10– 2P QS = 5P Jewelry made in Rivendell is also desired by humans who live in the world outside Rivendell. Jewelry can be sold to those humans in a perfectly competitive world market where Pw = 2. Jewelry can be traded within Rivendell and in the world outside. a) What will be the price at which trade of jewelry occurs? What quantity will be sold to elves in Rivendell and what quantity will be exported? b) Calculate the producer surplus and consumer surplus in Rivendell, and illustrate them in a demand and supply graph.
