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)

One noticeable issue in our society and most
developing countries today is the rate at which people
(including youths and adults) migrate from the rural to the urban
areas. Like a paradox, while the
cities (urban areas) are increasing in population, the rural areas
are decreasing. Address students
of Ghana Technology University College on this issue, as a labour
economics consultant. Your
discussion should include (but not limited) to the following:
a. Explain the theory that underpins migration from a labour
economics perspective (10
MARKS).
b. Provide sectoral analysis of migration trends in Ghana
c. Provide some recommendations to government

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!!

The discussion forum this week involves Business Method Patents. First, in your view, what should the standard be for a business method patent? Second, please include a discussion of whether you think that Amazon should be able to patent the One-Click method of ordering goods AND whether you think Facebook should be able to patent a process that “dynamically provides a news feed about a user of a social network.” (Note: This question is adapted from p. 684 of the textbook.)
