Monica grows coconuts and catches fish. Last year she harvested 1500 coconuts and 600 fish. She values one fish as having a worth of three coconuts. She gave Rachel 300 coconuts and 100 fish for helping her to harvest coconuts and catch fish, all of which were consumed by Rachel. Monica set aside 200 fish to help with next year's harvest. In terms of fish, consumption would equal 700 fish 900 fish 1100 fish 2700 fish
The Syejumba Economy is a very simple economy producing Vigayo and Gallons of Maize. The information below gives production points of the two commodities in the economy. Vigayo -0......Maize(1000's Gallons/year) - 600 Vigayo -1..... Maize(1000's Gallons/year) - 500 Vigayo - 2..... Maize(1000's Gallons/year) - 300 Vigayo - 3..... Maize(1000's Gallons/year) - 0 a) Graph the production possibility frontier of the Syejumba Economy b) What is the direction and of the slope of the production possibility frontier of the Syejumba Economy? Explain the intuition behind that fact. c) Suppose the Syejumba Economy is currently producing 2,000 Vigayo and 30,000 gallons of Maize. What is the opportunity cost of producing additional 20,000 gallons of Maize?

A typical U.S. worker today works fewer than 40 hours per week, while in 1890, he or she worked 60 hours per week. Does this difference in the length of work weeks matter in comparing the economic well-being of U.S. workers today with that of 1890? Or can we use the difference between real GDP per capita today and in 1890 to measure differ- ences in economic well-being while ignoring differences in the number of hours worked per week? Briefly explain.

Suppose that a country produces 200 million dollar value of total outputin a year. The country produces only two goods: pepperoni pizzas andbottles of soda. The price of a pepperoni pizza is $5 and the price ofa bottle of soda is $2. Draw the country’s iso-value line on a graph. Ifthe price of a pepperoni pizza increases to $8, what will happen to thecountry’s iso-value line?
Suppose we extend the circular flow model to add imports and exports. Copy the circular flow diagram onto a sheet of paper and then add a foreign county as a third agent. Draw a rough sketch of the flows of imports, exports, and the payment for each on your diagram.
1. Consider a simple example economy where there are three companies. Gelato Inc. is an Italian company that produces ice cream; it is located in St. Louis but owned by an Italian chemist who sends from time to time secret formulas for new flavors. Milky Way is a milk producer in the St. Louis area. Finally, Sweetyou is a sugar producer, also located in St. Louis. In 2019, Gelato Inc. produced and sold to consumers $500 worth of ice cream, using $50 of sugar and $100 of milk. It also paid $150 in wages and $50 in taxes. Milky Way produced $200 worth of milk. It sold $100 to Gelato Inc. and $100 to the consumers. It paid $100 in wages, $20 in interests on a previous loan, and $30 in taxes. Sweetyou produced $200 worth of sugar, of which $50 was sold to Gelato Inc., $100 was exported to France, and the remaining was unsold. Sweetyou paid wages for $100 and $40 in taxes. The government in this St. Louis based economy provides public services for which it employs labor and basic income for…
