supply.

demand.
D. grocery demand and grocery supply had the same elasticity.
E. grocery supply was perfectly inelastic.

mandate in markets with...
A. inelastic labor supply and elastic labor demand.
B. elastic labor supply and elastic labor demand.
C. elastic labor supply and inelastic labor demand.
D. inelastic labor supply and inelastic labor demand.
QUESTION 38
Renkin, Montialoux, and Siegenthaler studied the effects of higher
minimum wages on grocery prices. What did they find?
A. The entire burden of higher minimum wages was felt by grocery
buyers, which implies that grocery demand was more inelastic than
grocery supply.
B. The entire burden of higher minimum wages was felt by grocery
sellers, which implies that grocery supply was more inelastic than
grocery demand.
C. The entire burden of higher minimum wages was felt by grocery
sellers, which implies that grocery demand was more inelastic than
grocery supply.
D. The entire burden of higher minimum wages was felt by grocery
buyers, which implies that grocery supply was more inelastic than

In the following problem, assume that the UK currency is the pound sterling (PST) and the currency in the rest of the Europe is the euro (EUR).
a. Suppose that the PST appreciates relative to the EUR. Provide an explanation.
(i) In the UK:
‐ How would the export demand change? Why?
‐ How would the import demand change? Why?
‐ How would net exports change? Why?
(ii) In the rest of Europe:
‐ How would export demand change? Why?
‐ How would import demand change? Why?
‐ How would net exports change? Why?
Suppose that the central bank in the UK (The Bank of England) decides to raise interest rates because it is worried about high inflation. As a result, interest rates in the UK become higher than interest rates in the REST OF EUROPE. This acts as an incentive for EUROPEAN investors to increase the amount of funds they invest in British (UK) interest bearing assets. In order to increase their purchases of those UK assets, which are priced in PST, EUROPEAN investors have to convert EUR into PST. This conversion, in turn, increases the demand for PST. Based on the above information, please explain what will happen to the EUR--‐‑PST exchange rate. In other words, will the increased demand for PST, make PST gain value (appreciate) or lose value (depreciate) against the EUR? Why?

Dollar-Value LIFO Retail
The following information is obtained from Burger Company's records. Burger uses the dollar-value LIFO retail method.
2019 | 2020 | 2021 | ||||||
Cost | Retail | Cost | Retail | Cost | Retail | |||
Purchases | $202,400 | $430,000 | $238,500 | $540,000 | $240,100 | $500,000 | ||
Net additional markups | — | 20,000 | — | 30,000 | — | 10,000 | ||
Net markdowns | — | 10,000 | — | 40,000 | — | 20,000 | ||
Sales | — | 400,000 | — | 650,000 | — | 450,000 |
The company adopted LIFO on January 1, 2019, when the cost and retail values of the inventory were $40,000 and $100,000, respectively. Burger experienced the following price indexes:
January 1, 2019 | 100 | December 31, 2020 | 115 | |
December 31, 2019 | 108 | December 31, 2021 | 120 |
Required
Compute the cost of the ending inventory for 2019. Round the cost-to-retail ratio out to three decimal places. Round computations and final answers to the nearest dollar.

(a) What is Mary’s price elasticity for coffee?
(b) Plot Mary’s indifference curves. Plot coffee on the horizontal axis and money to spend on other goods on the vertical.
