Suppose that the Inverse Demand Curve for recreational Cannabis is given as: P = 14.60 – 0.40 [Qd] per gram. i. After determining the NORMAL Demand Curve from the Inverse demand curve above, determine the Quantities Demanded, Qd in Millions of grams, if the Price, P is reduced from $11.00 per gram to $10.00 per gram AND the value of the Price Elasticity of Demand over the “arc” of this change.
ii. Carefully explain how each of the “sign” and the “magnitude” of the elasticity determined in part i above would be interpreted? iii. Suppose that in response to a reduction in Price, P for Cannabis-based Gummi Bears from $12.00 to $10.00 per package results in a reduction in of 0.75 million grams at every price point from the original Demand Curve. Using this information, determine the elasticity of grams of Cannabis in response to the change in Price of the Gummi Bears. iv. Carefully explain how each of the “sign” of the elasticity determined allows us to describe the “type” of relationship between the Cannabis and Gummi Bears AND the interpretation of the “magnitude” of the elasticity?

1. The politician wants to allocate spending so that hospitals may purchase new and expensive cancer detection machines. At the dedication he says ‘spending this money will be worth it if this policy saves even one life”. Having taken an economics class, you roll your eyes at the political gibberish. Explain why, from the economic perspective, the politician is spouting gibberish.
I was told I need to provide an answer that focusses more on economic logic and perspective and discusses marginal costs and benefits more.
2. Given the following terms affecting the supply and demand for good ‘x’: income, resource costs, wages, technology, expected income, Ps, Pc, Px, taxes, number of sellers, productivity, tastes and preferences:
a) Write out the Demand Relationship. Note the slope and shift terms. Identify (write out) the Demand Curve from the Relationship.
b) Write out the Supply Relationship. Note the slope and shift terms. Identify (write out) the Supply Curve from the Relationship.

Business opportunities in Canada and America in the next decade
First of all, both Canada and the United State have English as their primary language and they are both multicultural countries. For instance, most of their citizens are immigrants from all over the world and use English as their main means of communication (Kusow, 2006). Thus, this contributes to creating favourable conditions, as well as opportunities for international investors to flock the market and grow their businesses. Secondly, Canada and the United States have a similar geographic location, both located in North America. Moreover, both countries share about 9000-kilometer long land borders (Konrad & Everitt, 2011). As a result, this enhances the trade between two countries and it is clear that the US has become Canada’s largest trading partner. Last but not least, both countries have abundant natural resources such as minerals, fossil fuels, and forest resources (Bailey et al., 1985). Therefore, it is not hard to understand why investors around the world view Canada and the US as a profitable choice: manufacturing, mining and refining minerals, and tourism.
On the other hand, Canada's nominal GDP is only 1.7 trillion dollars compared to the United States with the world's largest economy of 22 trillion dollars (Silver, 2020). Hence, the size of the US market is much larger than that of Canada. Therefore, the income and living standard in the US is undoubtedly higher. Thus, the fruit of operating a business in the United States will come easier as long as one has a clear goal and mind. Moreover, according to Statistics Canada (2018), Canada's population is significantly less than the United States. Consequently, running businesses in services like restaurants and hotels will have more potential and opportunities to grow in the United States than in Canada. Finally, Canada's trade is not as widespread as that of the United States. Thereupon, the development of American trade is also partly because of it being one of the world's largest economy. Hence, the United States is an ideal country to start businesses as well as invest in the field of foreign trade. Furthermore, the weather conditions in the US is more likable that business will not have to suffer from extreme climate. In Canada, during winter months, there are times that wide areas businesses have to shut down because of the snow. This is by no means good for the development or opportunity of growing.
Overall, there are many similarities and differences between operating a business in Canada and the United States. Operating and growing a business in the US will conspicuously bring greater success. On the other hand, starting a business in Canada will have more opportunities for investors and startups than it does in the US, for it being less competitive. Since the US market is saturating with both newly formed and developed businesses, the Canadian market is nevertheless original and offers more opportunities for young people. Thus, operating a business in the US will gain greater success but will pay a higher risk. In contrast, starting and developing a business in Canada will bear fruit as there are more opportunities in the coming decade.

Let the utility function be given by
u(x1, x2) = √x1 + x2.
Let m be the income of the consumer, p1 and p2 the prices of good 1
and good 2, respectively.
To simplify, normalize the price of good 1, that is p1 = £1.
(a) Write down the budget constraint and illustrate the set of
feasible bundles using
a figure.
(b) Suppose that m = £100 and that p2 = £10. Find the optimal
bundle for the consumer. In other words, find the combination of x1
and x2 that maximizes the consumer’s utility when the prices are p2
= £10, p1 = £1 and her income is m = £100.
(c) Suppose still that m = £100 but now the price of good 2 has
increased to p2 = £30. Find the optimal bundle for the consumer. In
other words, find the combination of x1 and x2 that maximizes the
consumer’s utility when the prices are p2 = £30, p1 = £1 and her
income is m = £100.
(d) How can we explain the drastic change in demand for the goods
when the price of good 2 increased from £10 to £30?
