Home’s demand curve for wheat is: D = 100 - 20P. Its supply curve is: S = 20 + 20P.

a) Derive and graph Home’s import demand schedule. What would be the price of wheat and quantity sold in Home in the absence of trade?

Now add Foreign, which has a demand curve: D* = 80 -20P and a supply curve S* = 40 + 20P.

b) Derive and graph Foreign’s export supply curve and find the price of wheat and quantity sold in Foreign in the absence of trade.

c) Now allow Foreign and Home to trade with each other. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price of wheat? What is the volume of trade?

If you had the chance today, would you leave it all behind and join a colonial expedition to Mars? Why/why not? Regardless of whether you'd make the trip, how would you propose setting up the Martian colonial government? Assume, like later generations of colonists, that you could take much of your willing family along with you. Assume, also, that it is a one-way trip.

A monopolist faces two totally separated markets with inverse demand p=100 – qA and
p=160−2qB respectively. The monopolist has no fixed costs and a marginal cost given by mc= 2 /3q

Find the profit maximizing total output and how much of it that is sold on market A and market
B respectively if the monopoly uses third degree price discrimination.
a) What prices will our monopolist charge in the two separate markets?      
b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand in each market and explain the intuition behind the
relationship between the prices and elasticities in these two separate markets.  

Select a relevant microeconomics industry and discuss how it relates to the PPF. Consider why countries engage in international trade and how that country aligns with the PPF concept. Choose a topic that explores one or more factors of production and how they relate to the PPF.

Locate a recent article or event (published within the last year) that highlights your relevant microeconomics topic. Use newspapers, new stations, or other credible sources to discuss how your topic aligns with microeconomics.

Include the following in your discussion: State the article or event you selected. Identify the microeconomic concept(s). Describe your findings. Analyze the relevance to real-life applications. Summarize your findings using at least 250 words and provide a minimum of one reference. Use current APA formatting to document your sources.

Beth is a second-grader who sells lemonade on a street corner in your neighborhood. Each cup of lemonade costs Beth $0.90 to produce; she has no fixed costs. The reservation prices for the 10 people who walk by Beth's lemonade stand each day are listed in the following table.

Beth knows the distribution of reservation prices (that is, she knows that one person is willing to pay $1.50, another $1.40, and so on), but she does not know any specific individual’s reservation price.

a. Calculate the marginal revenue of selling an additional cup of lemonade. (Start by figuring out the price Beth would charge if she produced only one cup of lemonade, and calculate the total revenue; then find the price Beth would charge if she sold two cups of lemonade; and so on.)

Instructions: If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.

b. What is Beth’s profit-maximizing price?

Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.

$ .

c. At that price, what are Beth’s economic profit and total consumer surplus?

Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.

Economic profit: $  per day.

Consumer surplus: $  per day.

d. What price should Beth charge if she wants to maximize total economic surplus?

Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.

Price to maximize total economic surplus: $
