Ontario has been singularly successful at managing the Covid-19 Pandemic, and as a result, there has been a gradual re-opening of stores, hair salons, restaurants and movie theatres.
Suppose that the newly re-opened Movie Theatres reduce their price of admission from $20.00 to $17.00 to get people to come back. Suppose, as a result of the reduced price in movie theatres, the “New drive-in movie theatre” from question 1 experiences a reduction in the number of cars from their equilibrium of 350 cars to 275 cars a night.
i. Using the information provided above, Determine the Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand following the “ARC” form as we don’t have an equation to work with here.
ii. Given the Sign of your calculation, EXPLAIN carefully; (1) the Type of Relationship between the re-opened movie theatres and the “New drive-in movie theatre” AND, (2) the interpretation of the Elasticity value calculated.

Suppose Canada can produce 20 units of Oil and 0 units of potatoes if it chooses to only produce Oil. Otherwise, Canada can produce 50 potatoes and 0 units of oil if it only chooses to produce potatoes. The United States on the other hand can produce 25 units of oil (and 0 units of potatoes) if it choose to produce only oil and 100 units of potatoes and 0 units of oil if it chooses to produce only potatoes.
A.) What is the opportunity cost of 1 potato for the U.S.? For Canada?
B.) What is the opportunity cost of 1 oil for the U.S.? For Canada?
C.) Who has the absolute advantage in the production of Oil? Potatoes?
D.) Who has the comparative advantage in the production of Oil? Potatoes?
E.) Suppose the U.S. has decided to be self sufficient and is producing 10 units of oil and 40 units of potatoes. Is there anyway that the U.S. increase its consumption of goods outside its production possibilities frontier (for example, consume more potatoes without changing the consumption of oil)?

7. (TCO E) The City of Champions has a referendum that will go before voters to build the best football stadium in the world. The ballot calls for the voters to approve or disapprove a 6% sales tax increase to construct the new stadium.

Once the $800,000,000 is raised for the stadium construction, the stadium sales tax will be terminated, and any repairs and maintenance will be funded by proceeds from ticket sales, concessions, and other venues within the stadium.
