The economy of Zambia has two sectors, agriculture and industry. Consumers are the end users ofthe final output. The agriculture sector produces maize worth K16000 and milk worth K16000.Maize worth K4000 as well as milk worth K6000 is sold to consumers for direct consumption, andmaize worth K12000 and milk worth K10000 is sold to the industry as intermediate inputs in theproduction of mealie meal and butter respectively. The industry uses this maize to produce mealiemeal worth K32000 and uses milk to produce butter worth K18000 which are sold to consumersfor final consumption. In addition, the agriculture sector pays wages worth K20000, rent worthK4000 and earns profit equal to K8000. The industry sector pays wages worth K16000, rent worthK6000 and earns a profit of K6000.a) Calculate GDP for the above economy using the three approaches: product approach, incomeapproach, and expenditure approach.b) Peter was bragging to his wife that his country, Zambia, is doing better than his wife’s…

You just got a job in Washington, D.C. You moveinto an apartment with some acquaintances. All yourroommates, however, are slackers and do not clean upafter themselves. You, on the other hand, can clean fasterthan each of them. You determine that you are 70%faster at dishes and 10% faster with vacuuming. All ofthese tasks have to be done daily. Which jobs shouldyou assign to your roommates to get the most free timeoverall? Assume you have the same number of hours todevote to cleaning. Now, since you are faster, you seemto get done quicker than your roommate. What sortsof problems may this create? Can you imagine a traderelated analogy to this problem?
Need help on part (d) and (e) 6. Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. a) Derive and plot the feasible set, between daily values of consumption c, and “leisure”, l. Label the values at the intercepts (the points where the feasible frontier cuts the two axes). b) Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves. c) Use indifference curves and the feasible set to show why, given the properties of the optimal choice in part b), it is not optimal to work, say, 10, or 6 hours per day. d) Now assume that you receive an income of £140 per week from an unknown benefactor. Show the impact on your feasible set, and show a new optimal choice in which consumption increases but labour supply decreases.…
