Prepare a report on the market for organic foods in the United States. The paper is to be a report on the market for organics, using the determinants of demand, determinants of supply, and how supply and demand determine price. The focus of the paper should not be on the health benefits of generic goods, but on the demand, supply and price dynamics of the market for generic foods.

• Your paper should have an introduction, body and conclusion.
• There should be at least five (5) references at the end of the paper, using APA format.
• The paper should be no fewer than three, but no more than five pages.
• Use one inch margins and the paper should be double spaced.

Remember this is not just a report on organic food, but an economic analysis of the market for organic foods. The paper should discuss the demand for organic foods, the supply of organic foods, and then the resulting price of organics. Be sure and ask if you have any questions.

The essay question is based on the following: The current situation in the United States (and much of the world) is quite extraordinary due to COVID-19 (aka coronavirus). Several recent occurrences are described here (all after most local public schools closed on March 13, 2020). Wildish relocated to his vacation home in northern Idaho so he would avoid being exposed to COVID-19. Ulwelling heard about Wildish’s relocation and, without doing any research of his own, immediately got the feeling that he should do the same thing. However, Siddiqui, who was Ulwelling’s supervisor, ordered him to report to work in Irvine on the regular schedule since “I am the boss and you are the employee.” Siddiqui believed that keeping a consistent schedule was better for the employees and the company alike. Saint saw several packages of toilet paper left unattended so she stole them because she could not find it elsewhere and she had five young children. Francis saw an elderly couple take a container of hand sanitizer from the shelf at the market so he moved quickly to grab all of the rest of the containers before they could get more. Voorhees saw this and he handed two containers of the hand sanitizer to the elderly couple since he wished someone would do that for him if he were elderly. The large supermarket chain called Ralph’s limited all customers to two packages of meat per purchase so that more people could buy meat. Jade limited her shopping since she knew her mother would disapprove if mother found out Jade was a hoarder. Finally, Shaadie thought that “this whole coronavirus thing is a product of socialist fake news put out by the Democrat-friendly media.”

Essay question: (a) Define the ends-means ethic, the Golden Rule, the doctrine of the mean, utilitarianism, and the intuition ethic (one sentence each). (b) Explain how each of these five ethical principles could best be applied to the matters stated above (1-2 sentences each).

It is a common practice of Kodak in markets outside of the United States to sell slide film only bundled with development, i.e., when the customer buys Kodak film, she gets Kodak development for "free." In the U.S., however, slide film and slide film development are sold separately. Why might this be? Let us investigate the market in Malaysia.

Kodak's marketing research department has identified four broad categories of consumers in Malaysia interested in slide photography: the Malays (type A), the Chinese (type B), the Tamils (type C), and American tourists (type D). Because of the tropical climate and the limited photo opportunities, all photographers demand only one 36-slide roll per month. The four types differ in their relative preference for Kodak film and Kodak development. Because of deep-seated cultural traditions, the Malays (type A) tend to value the film much more than the development; the Chinese value the development much more than the film; the Tamils value both about equally and low; American tourists, however, value both high.

Given below are four alternative reservation price/marketing composition/cost scenarios. In each scenario, the relevant demand data are given as triples of numbers. The first number in each triple is the reservation price for a 36-slides roll of Kodak film, the second number is the reservation price for Kodak developing this roll of film, and the third number is the segment's size as a fraction of the picture-taking population. For example, in (1) below, A's willingness- to-pay for film is $3, its willingness-to-pay for development is $1, and this segment constitutes 10% of the population. Note we assume consumers can buy film and development separately.

(Please highlight the optimal pricing strategy.)

(i) A ($3, $1, 0.10) B ($1, $3, 0.10) C ($1, $1, 0.70) D ($3, $3, 0.10) Unit cost of film: $0.50; Unit cost of development: $0.50

(ii) A ($3, $1, 0.25) B ($1, $3, 0.25) C ($1, $1, 0.25) D ($3, $3, 0.25) Unit cost of film: $0.50; Unit cost of development: $0.50

(iii) A ($3, $1, 0.25) B ($1, $3, 0.25) C ($1, $1, 0.25) D ($2.5, $2.5, 0.25) Unit cost of film: $0.50; Unit cost of development: $0.50

(iv) A ($3, $1, 0.25) B ($1, $3, 0.25) C ($1, $1, 0.25) D ($2.5, $2.5, 0.25) Unit cost of film: $1.50; Unit cost of development: $1.50

(1) Determine the profit-maximizing selling strategy in each scenario above.

(2) From this analysis, what can we say about why Kodak has different marketing policies in the U.S. and Malaysia?
