- There are five students who are looking to buy one second-hand textbook each. Their willingness-to-pay are $5, $6, $8, $12, and $15, respectively. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? Select one: a. If a seller is one of many identical sellers and his reservation price is $8, then he is guaranteed to sell his textbook. b. To sell three books, the maximum price that can be charged is $8. c. The student with a willingness-to-pay of $15 is the richest. d. Their willingness-to-pay indicates an upward-sloping demand curve.Suppose the Economics Department has a graduation party for its students but as a final test they must show they have learned something about trade. Students in group A are given food (F) when they walk in, and students in group B are given a drink (D). Refer to Scenario 1. Suppose they have very different preferences where food and drink provide utility. For group A, U = FαDβ. For group B, U = min{F,D}. The contract curve in the Edgeworth box using a representative from each group would be (a) a right angle connecting the lower left corner with the upper right corner.(b) a curve (not necessarily a line) connecting the lower left corner with the upper right corner. (c) a line connecting the lower left corner with the upper right corner.(d) a right angle connecting the upper left corner with the lower right corner.A firm’s total cost C is given by the function: C = 4X2 Where X is the level of output and C is the cost. The firm can sell any number of units of output at a price of 64. However, production inflicts damage on the firm’s neighbours. The total damage D inflicted depends on the firm’s output: D = 4X + X2. Assume that the neighbours have the property rights: In the absence of an agreement between the firm and its neighbours, what would the level of output be? If an agreement between the firm and its neighbours is negotiated, what are the smallest and largest payments that the firm would have to make?
- Bargaining power may exist for a seller if they have another buyer to whom they can sell the product.True or False?A seller sells a good of quality q at a price t. The cost of producing at quality level q is given by q2/2. There is a buyer who receives a utility of Xq − t by consuming the unit of quality q at price t. If he decides not to buy, he gets a utility of zero. X can take two values X1 = 1 and X2 = 4. (a) Suppose the seller can observe X. Derive the profit maximizing price-quality pairs offered when the type is X1 = 1 and when the type is X2 = 4. (b) Show that the full information price-quality pairs are not incentive compatible if the seller cannot observe X.If there is only one buyer and one seller meeting to exchange, then any price that they agree upon must be between the willingness to pay of the buyer and the willingness to sell of the seller.True or False
- A supplier is selling tomatoes in two cities, Antalya and Istanbul. It costs him 1 TRY per kg of tomatoes delivered in each city. Let p1 be the price of a kg of tomatoes in Antalya and p2 be the price of a kg tomatoes in Istanbul. The price-response curves in each city: Antalya: d1(p1) = 500 - 100p1 Istanbul: d2(p2) = 1,200 - 200p2 Assuming the supplier can charge any price he likes, what prices should be charged for a kg of tomatoes in Antalya and Istanbul to maximize total contribution? What are the corresponding demands, revenues, and total contributions in each city? What is the total demand, total revenue, and total contribution over the two cities?Consider a population of consumers. When a consumer is a member of a club providing a level of provision G and having n members, they obtain utility Where k is a positive constant and G n is the charge for club membership. a. Derive the optimal membership for the club if it maximizes the utility of each member. b. Assuming the club chooses G optimally given its member ship; calculate the loss due to membership of a club with suboptimal size. c. Assume that the total population is of size m, with k d. What club size maximizes total utility produced by the club? Contrast to the answer for part a.The steps for solving a maximization problem can include A. Using the constraints to eliminate some variables B. Finding the partial derivatives with respect to controls or choices C. Solving the FOC for the optimal choice D. All of the Above The definition of competitive equilibrium is A. A fight among firms that has drawn to a tie B. Allocations and prices such that all agents behave optimally and markets clear C. An economy in which each firm monopolistically sets prices D. Where the governmental exogenously sets prices to maximize welfare
- In experiments in which participants voluntarily contribute to the provision of a public good, we often find a reduction in contributions in successive rounds of the experiment. We can explain this as Group of answer choices Evidence of participants reaching satiation and not wanting such high levels of the public good. Evidence of participants working out the Nash equilibrium outcome of the voluntary contribution game. Evidence of participants reducing cooperation to punish free riding. Evidence of participants learning how to play the game more effectively.an example of a market where a Bertrand model would not be plausibleBilly Penny is trying to determine how many units of two types of lawn mowers to produce each day. One of these is the Standard model, while the other is the Deluxe model. The profit per unit on the Standard model is $60, while the profit per unit on the Deluxe model is $40. The Standard model requires 20 minutes of assembly time, while the Deluxe model requires 35 minutes of assembly time. The Standard model requires 10 minutes of inspection time, while the Deluxe model requires 15 minutes of inspection time. The company must fill an order for 6 Deluxe models. There are 450 minutes of assembly time and 180 minutes of inspection time available each day. How many units of each product should be manufactured to maximize profits?
