- Juan Valdez, a coffee farmer in Colombia, sells his coffee to Cafe Emporium, a U.S. firm which specializes in gourmet coffee blends. a. What must be true of this arrangement? Which sentence is true? Juan believes he is better off with this contract, but in reality, the wealthy American buyer is taking advantage of Juan's naiveté. When Juan and other farmers in Colombia sell their coffee beans to foreigners, their nation as a whole gains in the long run, as countries gain from trade. While this arrangement is good for Juan, he would be better off if the government had negotiated the contract for him because the government could have gotten a better price. Juan and other farmers in Colombia who make such transactions are made better off as a result. b.

- Jiffyburger, a fast-food outlet, sells approximately 8,000 quarter-pound hamburgers in a given week. To meet that demand, Jiffyburger needs 2,000 pounds of ground beef delivered to its premises every Monday morning by 8:00 AM sharp.As the manager of a firm that sells ground beef, what problems would you anticipate if you were to supply meat to Jiffyburger through spot exchange?arrow_forwardA. Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )=. Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the profit maximising problem. B. The leader is facing the residual demand curve R(p)=D(p)-S(p) with D(p) and S(p) as defined in (c) above. Calculate the leader’s residual demand curve using the result in (b). Solve for p as a function of the leader’s output y1, i.e. the inverse demand function facing the leader.
