Dumping

Business Case Problem 11-4, Page 228

Nuclear power plants use low-enriched uranium (LEU) as a fuel. LEU consists of feed uranium enriched by energy to a certain assay--the percentage of the isotope necessary for a nuclear reaction. The amount of energy required is described by an industry standard as a "separative work unit" (SWU). A nuclear utility may buy LEU from an enricher, or the utility may provide an enricher with feed uranium and pay for the SWU's necessary to produce LEU. Under an SWU contract, the LEU returned to the utility may not be exactly the uranium the utility provided. This is because feed uranium is fungible and trades like a commodity (such as wheat or corn), and profitable enrichment requires the constant processing of undifferentiated stock. Foreign enrichers, including Eurodif, S.A, allegedly exported LEU to the United States and sold it for "less than fair value." Did this constitute dumping? Explain. If so, what could be done to prevent it? [United States v. Eurodif, S.A., 555 U.S. 305, 129 S.Ct. 878, 172 L.Ed.2d 679 (2009)] (Cross & Miller, 2018, p. 228)

Identified demand and supply shifters for your product. Choose one demand and one supply factor. Sketch two SD diagrams to illustrate how an increase in this factor will shift D or S curves, and what happens to the market P and Q in each case. Explain briefly.

Organic food is grown without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers or genetically modified seeds. In recent decades, the demand for organic products has increased dramatically. The Organic Trade Association reported sales increased from $1 billion in 1990 to $31.5 billion in 2011, more than 90% of which were sales of food products.

Why, then, are organic foods more expensive than their conventional counterparts? The answer could be an application of the supply and demand model. Describe in your own words what factors have affected and will continue to affect the demand and supply for organic foods? Describe any shifts, and make any predictions of what might happen to the prices of organic foods in the future.
