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.)

Suppose a public referendum is being held on whether or not to levy a tax on cigarettes. Currently, the supply of cigarettes is given by Qs = -100 + 20P. You estimate the demand for cigarettes to be Qd = 200 - 5P.You are asked to evaluate the likely effects of a tax on cigarettes equal to $1 per pack of cigarettes. Specifically, you are to file a report which predicts by how much this will reduce the amount of cigarettes sold. You are also asked to estimate the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the cigarette companies (sellers), and the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the smokers (consumers) of cigarettes.To do this, you will first need to calculate the current price and quantity of cigarettes sold.a) (6 points) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of cigarettes? Next you know from your economics class that you will need to know the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes. (Note: for parts b-e, please leave your answers in the form of a fraction.)b) (6 points) What is the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes at the equilibrium price?c) (6 points) What is the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes at the equilibrium price?Using your answers to b) and c), you are now able to determine what proportion of the tax will be paid by buyers, and what proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers.d) (6 points) What proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers?e) (6 points) What price will buyers pay after the tax is imposed?f) (6 points) What quantity of cigarettes will be sold after the tax??Finally, a new proposal suggests that the tax should be levied on the cigarette companies instead of the smokers.g) (6 points) From what you have learned in this class, how should you respond to this proposal?

During the 1950s, the United States imported wool from Great Britain, exporting wheat, while Great Britain imported wheat from the United States, exporting wool. In 1957 Hungarian-American economist Bela Balassa compared the production of wool and wheat in the United States and Great Britain. For both of these products, Balassa found that the United States could produce a larger amount of output than Great Britain. Some American politicians used this result to argue that there was no gain to the United States from continuing to import wool from Great Britain. Were the American politicians correct? Explain whether or not gains from free trade exist when one of the trading countries has the absolute
advantage in producing both goods. Explain why or why not gains from trade would exist in this case and what determines whether gains from trade exist
