Robin and Jimmy owned the RJ partnership. Robin, without consulting with Jimmy, appointed her cousin Becka as RJ’s exclusive sales agent for the Kansas City, Missouri area. Jimmy, without consulting with Robin, hired his cousin Karlie as RJ’s exclusive sales agent for the Kansas City, Missouri area. At first, there was considerable conflict and tension between the two agents, but, in 2019, they began to overcharge customers, collecting a 25% down payment from customers, giving half to RJ and splitting the balance between themselves.
In early 2020, both agents were terminated by RJ. In January, all of Becka’s and Karlie’s customers were notified of the termination. In addition, RJ identified all potential customers in Kansas City, Missouri and they were all notified of the termination of the agents.
To avoid criminal prosecution, Becka escaped to Greenland for the weather (it does have “green” in its name). Karlie decided to attempt two more big scores. She contacted two of RJ’s customers and representing herself as RJ’s agent sold $100,000 of merchandise to Rebecca and $50,000 of merchandise to Mary Beth. Rebecca was a former customer whom Karlie had sold merchandise to when she had actual authority from RJ. Mary Beth was from Kansas City, Kansas and although she was a prior customer of RJ she had had no prior dealings with Karlie. Karlie collected a 25% down payment and joined Becka in Greenland.

6. Amy Lloyd is interested in leasing a new Honda and has contacted three automobile dealers for pricing information. Each dealer offered Amy a closed-end 36-month lease with no down payment due at the time of signing. Each lease includes a monthly charge and a mileage allowance. Additional miles receive a surcharge on a per-mile basis. The monthly lease cost, the mileage allowance, and the cost for additional miles follow:
| Dealer | Monthly Cost | Mileage Allowance | Cost per Additional Mile |
| Hepburn Honda | $299 | 36,000 | $0.15 |
| Midtown Motors | $310 | 45,000 | $0.20 |
| Hopkins Automotive | $325 | 54,000 | $0.15 |
Amy decided to choose the lease option that will minimize her total 36-month cost. The difficulty is that Amy is not sure how many miles she will drive over the next three years. For purposes of this decision, she believes it is reasonable to assume that she will drive 12,000 miles per year, 15,000 miles per year, or 18,000 miles per year. With this assumption Amy estimated her total costs for the three lease options. For example, she figures that the Hepburn Honda lease will cost her 36($299) + $0.15(36,000 - 36,000) = $10,764 if she drives 12,000 miles per year, 36($299) + $0.15(45,000 - 36,000) = $12,114 if she drives 15,000 miles per year, or 36($299) + $0.15(54,000 - 36,000) = $13,464 if she drives 18,000 miles per year.
Construct a payoff table for Amy's problem. If Amy has no idea which of the three mileage assumptions is most appropriate, what is the recommended decision (leasing option) using the optimistic approach?
a.Hopkins Automotive
b.Midtown Motors
c.Hepburn Honda

On an autumn day a number of people became ill working at the Widget Company. It
is an industrial plant in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. Their symptoms ranged from
simple coughing and other respiratory symptoms to pneumonia. At least one of fifty
people showing symptoms died. The company voluntarily closed the building upon
recommendation from the health department. After all of the water and cooling systems
at the plant were evaluated and disinfected, it reopened and no new cases were
reported. What is the causative agent at the factory?

Suppose the aggregate demand for honey in a small country is given by Q^D = 100 − P and the aggregate supply is Q^S = P. The international price of honey is P^I = 60, and the world market is willing to buy or sell any amount at that price. Let all quantities be given in gallons and all prices in dollars per gallon. Suppose the country initially starts out with closed borders, and cannot import or export at all.
Suppose now the country enters into an international free trade deal. The deal eliminates all subsidies and price supports, and the country opens up to import and export from the world market.
(j) What is the equilibrium domestic price, production, and consumption in the honey market with free trade? Depict it graphically. Will the country be an importer or exporter of honey?
(k) Which groups are better off with free trade relative to autarky (with no subsidies/price restrictions)? Which are worse off?
(l) Does total surplus increase or decrease relative to the competitive equilibrium with no trade. Can you find a set of transfers that would make everybody at least as well off as in the no-trade equilibrium? Now suppose the government wants to provide some relief to domestic consumers, so it imposes an export tariff of $τ per gallon on honey imports.
(m) What is the new equilibrium in the honey market in terms of τ? Depict it graphically for τ < 10.
(n) What is producer surplus, consumer surplus, government transfers, and social welfare after the tariff?
(o) Suppose the government decides to give all its tariff revenue to consumers to compensate for the loss from trade. Is there any level of tariff that would make consumers as well of as in autarky without completely shutting down trade?

The COVID-19 pandemic, and associated public health responses such as shutdowns, can be thought to include both a negative supply shock, and a negative demand shock.
Excerpt from article
Supply and demand and the COVID-19 shock
COVID-19 has had clear supply effects: quarantines, closed factories, supply chain disruptions and impaired mobility obviously affect production[1]. The effects on demand are more difficult to gauge but it is critical from an economic policy point of view to get a sense of them because we have more confidence about how to deal with demand (through monetary and fiscal tools) than with supply deficiencies.
Changes in real goods prices can indicate whether COVID-19 is causing major demand effects. Specifically, if aggregate supply effects dominate demand effects, we should see prices going up as activity goes down, in a kind of repeat of the stagflation of the 1970s. At that time, central banks were in a dilemma about whether to increase rates to fight inflation or to reduce rates to support economic activity. If prices remain largely unchanged, we can conclude that aggregate demand has also been substantially negatively affected by the spread of the virus.
Your Task:
Read the excerpt above (you may want to read the full article for context or for your own interest, but you do not need to refer to the additional content there).
Use the AD-AS model, including your own diagram/s, to explain why looking at prices would be a useful way to compare the relative magnitudes of the supply shock and demand shock.
Do i need to consider in the long run equilibrium or in the short run equilibrium?

Recently the Bank of Canada has come under significant pressure to not raise interest rates in order to “help” the economy. Hint: Assume Canada is a closed economy.
a) For these groups, including some Canadian chartered banks, to request this action, what must these parties be assuming about the present economic performance of Canada? Explain in words only. Your answer should focus on the present level of real GDP, employment & unemployment.
b) Suppose the Bank of Canada listens to some of this advice and it decides to lower the interest rate. This means that part b is a continuation of part a. Using words and one IS/LM diagram explain how the bank would do this and what impact this impact this would have on real GDP, consumption, investment, the real interest rate, employment, unemployment, and the real money supply in the short-run.
c) If the Bank of Canada were to undertake this change of policy (in part b) what would the long-run impact of this be on inflation and/or deflation for the economy? That is would the rate of inflation (or deflation) go up, down or stay the same in the longer term as a result of this policy? Use one AS/AD diagram to help answer this sub-question – on this diagram clearly label the initial short-run and new long-run equilibria.
d) Assuming the Bank of Canada has a policy goal of keeping the rate of inflation within the range between 1% to 3% per year would this policy change help meet this goal or to move away from this goal? Explain in words only how/why you feel this is so. Aside: The Bank of Canada really does have an inflation target like described above.

A 200.0-liter water tank can withstand pressures up to 20.0 bar
absolute before rupturing. At a
particular time the tank contains 165.0 kg of liquid water. the
fill and exit valves are closed, and the
absolute pressure in the vapor head space above the liquid (which
may be assumed to contain only
water vapor) is 3.a bar. A plant technician turns on the tank
heater, intending to raise the water
temperature to 155°C, but is called away and forgets to return and
shut off the heater. Let tl be the
instant the heater is turned on and t2 the moment before the tank
ruptures. Use the steam tables for
the following calculations.
(a) Determine the water temperature. the liquid and head-space
volumes (L), and the mass of water
vapor in the head space (kg) at time t1.
(b) Determine the water temperature, the liquid and head-space
volumes (L), and the mass of water
vapor (g) that evaporates between tl and t2. (Hint: Make use of the
fact that the total mass of
water in the tank and the total tank volume both remain constant
between tl and t2')
(c) Calculate the amount of heat (kJ) transferred to the tank
contents between tl and t2. Give two
reasons why the actual heat input to the tank must have been
greater than the calculated value.
(d) List three different factors responsible for the increase in
pressure resulting from the transfer
of heat to the tank. (Hint: One has to do with the effect of
temperature on the density of liquid
water.)
(e) List ways in which this accident could have been avoided.
