Suppose that Eric and Kyle can both sell whatever amount of fish they catch for $3,000 per ton. Also suppose that Eric is initiallygiven ITQS (individual transferable quotas) for 30 tons of fish, while Kyle is given ITQS for zero tons of fish. Suppose that Kyle is willingto pay Eric $550 per ton for as many tons of ITQS as Eric is willing to sell to Kyle. How much profit would Eric make if he used all theITQS himself?What is the profit situation if Eric sold 25 tons' worth of his ITQS to Kyle while using the other 5 tons of ITQS to fish for himself?d. What price per ton can Kyle offer to pay Eric for his 25 tons of ITQS such that Eric will make exactly as much money from that deal (inwhich he sells 25 tons' worth of ITQS to Kyle while using the rest to fish for himself) as he would by using all 30 tons of ITQS forhimself?per ton of ITQS Eric and Kyle are fishermen with different equipment and, as a result, different costs for catching fish.

Only typed answer Kara and Kyle are competing sockeye salmon fishers. Both have been allocated ITQs that limit their catch to 2,000 tons of sockeye salmon each. Kara's cost per ton is $6; Kyle's cost per ton is $10. Assume that the market price of sockeye salmon is $14 per ton. If Kara pays Kyle $5 per ton for his ITQs, and if she then catches her new limit of 4,000 tons, her profit would be?
1. Bob orders 40 cases of beer from a Dutch distributor at a price of $40 per case. 2. A U.S. company sells 200 transistors to a Spanish company at $15.00 per transistor. 3. Eric, a U.S. citizen, pays $1,100 for a computer he orders from Dellosoft (a U.S. company). Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year.

Michael owns a strawberry farm in central California and is deciding how many strawberries to supply this month. Which question appropriately applies the cost-benefit principle to the supply decision? Is the price Michael gets for the extra bushel of strawberries at least as large as the marginal cost? What is the fixed cost of production for Michael's strawberries? If Michael was not producing strawberries, how else could he use his resources? Is Michael "holding all else constant" when making this decision?
Suppose that in the Canadian market for Japanese cars, person 1 is willing to pay $35,000, person 2 is willing to pay $30,000, person 3 is willing to pay $32,000, and person 4 is willing to pay $28,000. Suppose that company A has a cost of $28,000, company B has a cost of $25,000, company C has a cost of $30,000, and company D has a cost of $32,000. What is the total surplus in this market? Assume that each person is willing to buy at most one car and that each company is willing to sell at most one car.
Once upon a time on the tiny island of Nor, all of the people were involved in their daily labor - knocking coconuts out of trees, carrying them to a pick-up point, and delivering them from the pick-up point to the market. All of the people, except Frick and Frack, that is. Frick and Frack were not feeling well on this day and were sitting, listless, under a palm tree. As they sat, Frick was, almost subconsciously, picking up palm leaves and weaving them together, in and out, in and out. Frack glanced down at Frick's work and asked, "What are you makin' there?" Frick looked down and puzzled, "I'm not really making nothing." But, actually, he had made something. It was a small mat. Frack said, "Keep going," and, pretty soon, the mat was about a square foot. The two of them pondered what could be done with this collection of palm leaves when, suddenly, Frack said, "Keep going, but start weaving the leaves tighter." As Frick progressed, the sides of the mat began to turn up, and…
Suppose pizzerias and sushi bars experience roughly the same economies of scale, with a common minimum market size of 200,000 meals per year. The per- capita demand for pizza is 20 meals per year and the per-capita demand for sushi is 4 meals per year. Suppose you move from a city with a population of 20,000 to a city with a population of 60,000. a. The number of pizzerias will change from [_____] to [_____] b. The number of sushi restaurants will change from [_____] to [_____] Illustrate the initial conditions for both pizzerias and sushi bar in a graph

Table 19.15 shows how the average costs of production for semiconductors (the "chips" in computer memories) change as the quantity of semiconductors built at that factory increases. a. Based on these data, sketch a curve with quantity produced on the horizontal axis and average cost of production on the vertical axis. How does the curve illustrate economies of scale? b. If the equilibrium quantity of semiconductors demanded is 90,000, can this economy take full advantage of economies of scale? What about if quantity demanded is 70,000 semiconductors? 50,000 semiconductors? 30,000 semiconductors? c. Explain how international trade could make it possible for even a small economy to take full advantage of economies of scale, while also benefiting from competition and the variety offered by several producers. Quantity of Semiconductors 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 100,000 Table 19.15 Average Total Cost $8 each $5 each $3 each $2 each $2 each
The New York Times (Nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of OPEC to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since June 1990.” Statements True False The members of OPEC were trying to agree to cut production so they could save more oil for the future. OPEC was unable to agree on cutting production because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement. The newspaper also noted OPEC's view “that producing nations outside the organization, like Norway and Britain, should do their share and cut production.” What does the phrase “do their share” suggest about OPEC's desired relationship with Norway and Britain? OPEC would like Norway and Britain to act competitively. OPEC would like Norway and Britain to keep their production levels high. OPEC would like Norway and Britain to join the cartel.
