Demand and Supply in Perfect Competition Cows are munching down zucchini, yellow squash and cabbage that Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetable farms grew and picked for restaurants and other institutions. It’s one way the company is trying to make use of the glut of south Georgia vegetables caused by the closure of dining spots, schools and other big buyers. South Georgia farmers ship food from Florida to Canada, but the closures cost them 40- to 50% of their market. Growers are caught between being unable to sell all their crop and selling what they can in a flooded market with dropping prices.

1. Draw a demand and supply diagram that illustrates the changes taking place in the vegetable market. Explain any changes you draw.

2. Assume vegetable farms operate in a perfectly competitive market. Draw a cost and revenue diagram that shows the effect on farms profits of “dropping prices”

According to the sixth annual survey of employees of advertising agencies, carried out by the company Altschuler, Melvoin & Glasser, these employees can wait another excellent year for their compensation (Adveertising Age, December 1, 1997). To investigate if there is any difference in the annual compensation of artistic directors, suppose you select a random sample of 10 of them from each of four regions: West, South, North and Northeast, and what you want to do the research with 10% of error range.

SQL

A manufacturing company’s data warehouse contains the following tables.

Region

Note: (p) = "primary key" and (f) = "foreign key". They are not part of the column names.

Product

Sales_Totals

Answer the following questions using the above tables/data:

6. Write a set of SQL statements which will add a row to the Region table for Europe, and then add a row to the Sales_Total table for the Europe region and the Sprocket product (product_id = 7684) for October 2020, with a sales total of $1,500. You can assign any value to the region_id column, as long as it is unique to the Region table. The statements should be executed as a single unit of work. Please note that since the statements are executed as a single unit of work, additional code is needed.

Read the Case: China’s Managed Float (p. 371) and then click on "Create Thread" to post your answers to the following questions: Why do you think the Chinese government originally pegged the value of the yuan against the U.S. dollar? What were the benefits of doing this to China? What were the costs? What do you think the Chinese government should do? Let the float, maintain the peg, or change the peg in some way?

In 1994, China pegged the value of its currency, the yuan, to the U.S. dollar at an exchange rate of $1 = 8.28 yuan. For the next 11 years, the value of the yuan moved in lockstep with the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. By early 2005, however, pressure was building for China to alter its exchange rate policy and let the yuan float freely against the dollar. Underlying this pressure were claims that after years of rapid economic growth and foreign capital inflows, the pegged exchange rate undervalued the yuan by as much as 40 percent. In turn, the cheap yuan was helping to fuel a boom in Chinese exports to the West, particularly the United States, where the trade deficit with China expanded to a record $160 billion in 2004. Job losses among American manufacturing companies created political pressures in the United States for the government to push the Chinese to let the yuan float freely against the dollar. American manufacturers complained that they could not compete against “artificially cheap” Chinese imports. In early 2005, Senators Charles Schumer and Lindsay Graham tried to get the Senate to impose a 27.5 percent tariff on imports from China unless the Chinese agreed to revalue its currency against the U.S. dollar. Although the move was defeated, Schumer and Graham vowed to revisit the issue. For its part, the Bush administration pressured China from 2003 onwards, urging the government to adopt a more flexible exchange rate policy. Keeping the yuan pegged to the dollar was also becoming increasingly problematic for the Chinese. The trade surplus with the United States, coupled with strong inflows of foreign investment, led to a surge of dollars into China. To maintain the exchange rate, the Chinese central bank regularly purchased dollars from commercial banks, issuing them yuan at the official exchange rate. As a result, by mid 2005 China’s foreign exchange reserves had risen to more than $700 billion. They were forecast to hit $1 trillion by the end of 2006. The Chinese were reportedly buying some $15 billion each month in an attempt to maintain the dollar/yuan exchange rate. When the Chinese central bank issues yuan to mop up excess dollars, the authorities are in effect expanding the domestic money supply. The Chinese banking system is now awash with money and there is growing concern that excessive lending could create a financial bubble and a surge in price inflation, which might destabilize the economy. On July 25, 2005, the Chinese finally bowed to the pressure. The government announced that it would abandon the peg against the dollar in favor of a “link” to a basket of currencies, which included the euro, yen, and U.S. dollar. Simultaneously, the government announced that it would revalue the yuan against the U.S. dollar by 2.1 percent, and allow that value to move by 0.3 percent a day. The yuan was allowed to move by 1.5 percent a day against other currencies. Many American observers and politicians thought that the Chinese move was too limited. They called for the Chinese to relax further their control over the dollar/yuan exchange rate. The Chinese resisted. By 2006, pressure was increasing on the Chinese to take action. With the U.S. trade deficit with China hitting a new record of $202 billion in 2005, Senators Schumer and Graham once more crafted a Senate bill that would place a 27.5 percent tariff on Chinese imports unless the Chinese allowed the yuan to depreciate further against the dollar. The Chinese responded by inviting the senators to China, and convincing them, for now at least, that the country will move progressively towards a more flexible exchange rate policy
