A purely competitive wheat farmer can sell any wheat he grows for $10 per bushel. His five hectares of land show diminishing returns, because some are better suited for wheat production than others. The first hectare can produce 1000 bushels of wheat, the second hectare 900, the third 800, and so on. Fill in the table given below to answer the following questions. How many bushels will each of the farmer’s five hectares produce? How much revenue will each hectare generate? What are the TR and MR for each hectare?

If the marginal cost of planting and harvesting an hectare is $7,000 per hectare for each of the five hectares, how many hectares should the farmer plant and harvest?

utility theory tells us that a risk

averse individual would want to be paid

a risk premium to induce

her

to voluntarily accept risk. Or, alternatively, the risk

averse individual would have to be offered odds that were in

her

favor in order to

induce h

to gamble. Here, “odds” refer to the probability of loss/gain and/or the

magnitude of the loss/gain.

Not all externality problems can be solved by the private sector. True or False? Explain your answer making reference to the Coase Theorem.

Illustrate and explain why economists prefer taxes rather than regulations as a means of dealing with negative externalities.

You have the option to produce different versions of a product or service: high quality, or
low quality. The marginal cost to produce the low quality version is $3 and the marginal
cost to produce the high quality version is $15. There are two types of consumers Type
A and Type C with 100 consumers of each type. Each consumer will buy at most one
version of the product. These consumers have the following willingness to pay:

1. Suppose you were to offer only the low quality version. Find the optimal price and profit. Show/Explain why these are the optimal prices/profits.

2. Suppose you were to only offer the high quality version. Find the optimal price and profit. Show/Explain why these are the optimal prices/profits.

3. Suppose you offer high and low quality versions. Find the optimal prices and profit.
