Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of HHS, has promulgated regulations as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 that require every employer to provide a health insurance plan that guarantees access to abortification drugs. Some employers, like the Catholic church, consider this requirement to be immoral and to violate their rights to worship as they please. What do you think? Does the federal government have the right to impose regulations, in the name of the public good, that violate the rights of religious organizations to practice their religion? What would happen if a clinic or hospital would refuse to comply with this mandate?

The production of agricultural products like wheat is one of the few examples of a perfectly
competitive industry. In this question, we analyze results from a study released by the
Pakistan Department of Agriculture about wheat production in the Pakistan.
a. The average variable cost per acre planted with wheat was Rs.1070 per acre. Assuming a
yield of 500 bushels per acre, calculate the average variable cost per bushel of wheat.
b. The average price of wheat received by a farmer was Rs.2.65 per bushel. Do you think the
average farm would have exited the industry in the short run? Explain.
c. With a yield of 500 bushels of wheat per acre, the average total cost per farm was Rs.3.80
per bushel. The harvested acreage for rye (a type of wheat) in the Pakistan fell from 418,000
acres in 2004 to 274,000 in 2019. Using the information on prices and costs here and in parts
a and b, explain why this might have happened.
d. Using the above information, do you think the prices of wheat were higher or lower prior
to 2004? Why?

At the beginning of 2003, Firm X paid $80,000 for a piece of property with 1,000 acres of timber. The firm estimated that a total of 30,000 trees could ultimately be removed from this site. They estimated that the land could be sold for $10,000 after completion of the project.

During 2003, Firm X spent $150,000 on labor to help with the cutting and treatment of the timber (intangible development cost). It also purchased a piece of equipment for $20,000 to help with the extraction (tangible development cost). The equipment had a 10‐year life and would be used for a different project after completing work on the current project.

During 2003, the firm extracted 10,000 trees, and sold 8,000 of these trees. At that time, the firm estimated that an additional 20,000 trees could still be extracted.

In 2004, Firm X spent an additional $12,000 to help extract more trees. Firm X extracted an additional 11,000 trees, and sold a total of 5,000 trees. At that time, the firm estimated that an additional 9,000 trees could still be extracted.

Calculate the unit depletion rate for 2003 and for 2004.
