The market for cucumbers faces a market demand function given by P = 2000 - 100Q(farm ) - 100Q(town). Only two firms exist in this market: Farm's farm and Town farms.
Both firms have a constant marginal cost MC = 1000.
a) Get the reaction function for both farms.
b) Illustrate both reactions functions.
c) Identify the equilibrium
d) What if they began the process of competition with
farms farm choosing to produce 1 unit. Do two steps of
reaction.
e) Will total output be higher than monopolist output?
What about price? How does competition impact firms behaviours? Is
it welfare maximizing for society?

Your firm is using 300 units of labor and 2000 units of capital to produce 5000 units of output. If you hired an additional unit of labor output would increase by 10 units. An extra unit of capital would add 25 units of output. The wage rate is $10 per hour, and the rental rate is $50.

Tell the economic story of the US 2000-2010 decade. Be sure to include specific examples and data points that help tell the story. Like a brief overview of what happened in the economy.
You can include things like the GDP, civilian unemployment rate, interest rates, unemployment/inflation, foreign trade, and fiscal policys that effected this decade. Not too much information but just an overview. Thanks!

When he ran for President in 2000, Al Gore said that American farmland was disappearing at an "alarming" rate and that soon it would be impossible to grow enough food on the remaining land to feed the entire country, which would mean the prospect of people not having enough to eat. His proposed solution was to have the government place restrictions on converting farmland to other uses, such as subdividing lots for building new homes. Was Gore's assessment of the situation, along with his policy prescription, based upon accurate economic theory and analysis? Why or why not? (Note: For this question, we will assume that all food consumed in the USA is grown or produced here. Yes, I know we import food, but this question can be answered even with the assumption that we don't import any food.

Question 3
a) A coil consist of 2000 turns of copper wire having a cross
sectional area of 0.8mm2. The mean length per turn is 80 cm and the
resistivity of copper is 0.02μΩ-m. Find the resistance of the coil
and power absorbed by the coil when connected across 110V D.C
supply. AN [8marks]
b) A circuit consist of four 100W lamps connected in parallel
across a 230V supply. Inadvertently, a voltmeter has been connected
in series with the lamps. The resistance of the voltmeter is 1500Ω
and that of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times
their value when burning normally. What will be the reading of the
voltmeter?
CR[8marks]
c) Explain why a capacitor has a high reactance for a direct
current. EV[4marks]
