1. The prairie dog has always been considered a problem for American cattle ranchers. 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. As a protest against the government introducing the gray wolf back into the
wild in their state, ranchers decide to withhold 25 percent of the available…
close substitute for ocean-fished cod.
The graph below shows the market for farm-raised halibut. Initially, the market is in equilibrium at a price of $8 and a quantity of 6
thousand pounds.
a. Overfishing in the cod market will influence the market for farm-raised halibut by:
decreasing supply to S2 and raising the market price.
increasing demand to D2 and increasing the market price.
O increasing supply to $3 and lowering the market price.
O decreasing demand to D3 and decreasing the market price.
b. A fast-food chain purchases cod for use in its Fish 'n' Chips meals. Already hurt by the reduced supply of cod, the fast-food chain
has lobbied aggressively for price controls on farmed halibut. As a result, Congress has considered imposing a price ceiling on halibut
at the former equilibrium price-the price that prevailed before overfishing reduced the supply of cod ($8 per pound).
Suppose Congress adopts the price control policy, which sets the price at $8 per pound. On the graph…
