They dig holes that cattle and horses can step in, and they eat grass necessary for cattle. Recently, ranchers have discovered that there is a demand for prairie dogs as pets. In some areas, prairie dogs can sell for as high as $150 each. Cattlemen are now fencing off prairie dog towns on their land so these towns will not be disturbed by their cattle. Draw a rancher's production possibilities frontier showing increasing opportunity cost of cattle production in terms of prairie dog production. Using a separate graph for each situation, show what would happen to the initial production possibilities frontier in each of the following situations: a. The outcome is efficient, with ranchers choosing to produce equal numbers of cattle and prairie dogs. b.

- Consider the supply of soybeans in South America and the demand for soybeans in China. Draw a graph in which you show the current market equilibrium price of soybeans and quantity of soybeans traded. Include the curve that shows the true social costs of soybean production. Show the socially optimal amount of soybeans traded. Show the price that should really be charged for soybeans to ensure that production moves to the socially optimal level. Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, prices and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soybean production. What intervention could be used to change the market price for soybeans to the level that would move the quantity of soybeans traded to the optimal level? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
