In Village A, one farmer, i.e., one unit of labor, can produce either 10 bottles of wine (W) or 2 bottles of olive oil (O). In Village B, one farmer can produce either 5 bottles of wine (W) or 15 bottles of olive oil (O). For now, the two villages are in a state of “autarky” and do not trade with each other or with anyone else. People in Village A consume 100 bottles of (W) and 20 bottles of (O), while people in Village B consume 50 bottles of (W) and no bottles of (O).

a)  How much labor is required per bottle of (W) and per bottle of (O) produced in each village? How many farmers does each village have? Explain your answer. [Mark: 0.5]

b)  Each village decides to specialize in the good in which it has comparative advantage. How much is the increase in the aggregate production of each good in the two villages relative to autarky? Explain your answer. Note: aggregate production means the sum of the production levels in the two villages. [Mark: 1.0]

c) The two villages decide to trade freely with each other. Assume that after free trade each bottle of (W) is worth 1.5 bottles of (O). At this price they trade 50 bottles of (W) between them. How many bottles of (W) and of (O) does each village consume? Explain your answer. [Mark: 1.0]

Explain why and how firms in competitive markets may apply mixed bundling. Provide a numerical example to prove your case.

Seven years ago, you started a crosstown delivery service. The service is an environmentally friendly business and, given all the traffic congestion, you are also the fastest service in the city since your entire crew are bicyclists. You have two types of service. You have a small parcel service for anything that is flat and measures less than 11x17. You have a package service using a 100 lb. capacity bike trailer for anything weighing up to 10 lbs. As a way to introduce the new package service when you implemented the small package service, you charged the same price for packages as parcels. You are now wondering if you should charge different prices for the parcel and package service.

Complete the table below for the parcels market.

b) Suppose that you are the manager of a bank that has K15 million of fixed-rate assets,
K30 million of rate sensitive assets, K25 million of fixed-rate liabilities, and K20
million of rate-sensitive liabilities. Conduct a gap analysis for the bank, and show what
will happen to bank profits if interest rates rise by 5 percentage points. Mention three
actions you could take to reduce the bank’s interest-rate risk?
c) A bank manager wants to know what happens when interest rates rise from 10% to 11%.
The total asset value is K100 million, and the total liability value is K95 million. The
bank manager gets a figure for the average duration of the assets of 2.70 years and an
average duration of liabilities of 1.03 years. Calculate the change in the market value of
the assets and liabilities.
