  • What aspects of your business cannot be changed in the short run?
  • Explain why only certain aspects of your business can change output in the short run.

Suppose that two countries, Italy and Palestine, produce olive oil. The currency used in Italy is the euro (EUR), while Palestine uses the New Israeli Shekel (NIS). In Italy, olive oil sells 6€ per litre. The exchange rate is 5 NIS per 1 EUR.

a. If the law of one price holds, what is the price of olive oil in Palestine, measured in NIS? (5 points)

b. Assume the average market price of olive oil in Palestine is actually 24 NIS per litre. Compute the relative price of olive oil in Palestine versus Italy. Where will traders buy and where they will sell it? How will these transmissions affect the price of coffee in both countries? (5 points)

c. Is the bilateral exchange rate (NIS/EUR) undervalued or overvalued with respect to the LoOP relative to olive oil? How should the exchange rate be under the LoOP in this case? (5 points)

d. Is the law of one price holding in this case? Provide arguments to explain your answer. (5 points)

economies of scale Here is the Production Function for working out how it determines the pattern of costs.

Imagine that a Denny’s (Diner) has 10 units of “capital” and the output of breakfasts depends on the number of workers as shown. This is the short run and the fixed capital corresponds to the kitchen and seating area.

Assume that each unit of labor costs $10 (the wage for a breakfast shift) and that fixed cost is $5.  Also assume that there are no ingredient costs or electricity costs (just to make it ea

sier).

Derive the cost curves:   MC  AVC  and ATC.     Then sketch them (its best to draw and then submit a pdf or jpeg)

Hint: You don’t have enough detail to do MC for each unit of output, so you need to find it for the increments shown in the table (for example MC for the first 10 breakfasts is $10 or $1 per breakfast in that range so put $1 as MC per unit there) So you are finding MC per unit for units in each range based on the info given.  

Fill in columns for MC  AVC and ATC  and graph those cost curves.

Part 2

Show how    AVC and   MC   are flipped mirror images of  AP and MP for the Denny’s Data   

In other words, put the AP and MP diagrams above the cost curves with the labor quantities that correspond to the output quantities lined up to match!!
