Robinson Pizza Company agreed to buy 25 pounds of mozzarella
cheese from the Clemens Cheese Factory for $5 per pound. When the
cheese was delivered, Robinson discovered that one 10 pound block
of cheese was a bit moldy and, he believed, unusable. Clemens sent
Robinson a bill for $125 and demanded payment. Robinson called up
Clemens and refused to pay that much but indicated that he was
willing to pay $75. Clemens said “Not enough. Give me $80 and I
won’t sue.” Robinson said, “OK. I agree. I’ll pay you $80 to settle
this dispute.” Robinson sent Clemens a check for $80. Clemens
signed the check and deposited it in his savings account. A week
later Clemens sued Robinson for what he believed was the remaining
$45. (Please read both part (a) and part (b) before answering
either question).
a. .Judgment for whom? Explain.
b. Would your answer to (a) be different if Clemens had written
“without prejudice” on the back of the check before he deposited
it? Explain.

B. decreasing government expenditures.
C. increasing government expenditures.
D. raising taxes.
E. None of the above is correct.
which of the following statements is (are) correct?
(x) The natural rate of unemployment is the rate of unemployment
that the economy tends to move to in the long run and it is not

principle of monetary neutrality and it implies that the natural
rate of unemployment is independent of the inflation rate.

minimum wage laws or a change in frictional unemployment via
increased unemployment benefits can alter the natural rate of
unemployment.
A. (x), (y) and (z)
B. (x) and (y) only
C. (x) and (z) only
D. (y) and (z) only
E. (y) only

duration of unemployment benefits.
(z) fiscal policy that reduces the amount of cyclical

Given the following economy:
Y = C(Y - T) + I(r) + G
C(Y - T) = a + b(Y - T)
I(r) = c - dr
M/P = L(r,Y)
L(r,Y) = eY - fr
i. Solve for Y as a function of r, the exogenous variables G and T, and the model's parameters a, b, c, and d.
ii. Solve for r as a function of Y, M, P, and the parameters e and f.
iii. Derive the aggregate demand curve. This solves for Y as a function of P, the exogenous variables M, G, and T; and the model's parameters. This expression should not contain r.
Hint: For part iii. substitute result from ii. into result from i.

Economists develop and apply models of market competition (pure competition, pure monopoly, monopolistic competition, oligopoly) to describe the conditions that impact price and output decisions made by managers of organizations. Real world markets can be described as existing along a continuum and exhibiting elements of competition and monopoly. Explain what is meant by that statement. In your response, identify some measures and characteristics that economists use to describe different market structures (i.e. how do economists distinguish between market structures?).
