Ethel has preferences over amounts of goods 1 and 2 represented by the utility function u(x1, x2) = (x1)^2 + x2, where x1 denotes how much of good 1 she has and x2 denotes how much of good 2 she has. Write an expression for Ethel’s marginal utility for good 1. Does she like good 1? Explain your answer. Write an expression for Ethel’s marginal rate of substitution at any point. Do Ethel’s preferences exhibit diminishing marginal rate of substitution? Suppose Ethel was at the point (x1, x2) = (10,10) , and Pete offered to give her 2 units of good 2 in exchange for 2 units of good 1. Would Ethel be willing to accept this trade? Explain your answer. On a graph with good 1 on the horizontal axis, sketch Ethel’s indifference curves through the points (1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0) and (4, 0). Does Ethel have convex preferences?

4. Refer to Table 1-3, which contains information about the corn market. An agricultural price floor is a price that the government guarantees farmers will receive for a particular crop. Suppose the federal government sets a price floor for corn at $12 per kilo.
a. What is the amount of shortage or surplus in the corn market as result of the price floor?
b. If the government agrees to purchase any surplus output at $12, how much will it cost the government?
c. If the government buys all of the farmers' output at the floor price, how many kilos of corn will it have to purchase and how much will it cost the government?
d. Suppose the government buys up all of the farmers' output at the floor price and then sells the output to consumers at whatever price it can get. Under this scheme, what is the price at which the government will be able to sell off all of the output it had purchased from farmers? What is the revenue received from the government's sale?
e. In this problem we have considered two government schemes: (1) a price floor is established and the government purchases any excess output and (2) the government buys all the farmers' output at the floor price and resells at whatever price it can get. Which scheme will taxpayers prefer?
f. Consider again the two schemes. Which scheme will the farmers prefer?
g. Consider again the two schemes. Which scheme will corn buyers prefer?

Questions 28 and 29 are based on the following:

Suppose Pres. Trump and the Republican Party successfully expel all 11 million undocumented residents of the United States this year. This would represent an abrupt decrease in the overall supply of labor of about 4%. Since undocumented workers are heavily concentrated in agriculture, construction and household services (like cleaning, child and elder care and lawn care) the percentage decline in the supply of labor to these industries would be in the 15% - 25% range.

28. Using a neoclassical price adjustment framework, explain what effects this would have in the most affected industries.
29. Suppose that this results in a decline in the rate of profit in the most affected industries. Using the capital adjustment mechanism, explain what is likely to happen (and why) in the most affected industries.

Questions 38 – 41 are based on the efficiency wage framework. The efficiency wage framework can be summarized with the following equation:

P = k{w/(Q/L)}

​

Where:

P

K

W

Q

= Price

= the mark-up ratio

= the wage rate per hour

= the quantity produced

L

(Q/L)

{w/(Q/L)}

= the hours of labor employed in production

= output per hour of labor (labor productivity)

= labor cost per unit of output or the “efficiency

wage rate”

30. What are the chief factors determining the size of the mark-up ratio for an industry?
31. In the wage-productivity adjustment mechanism, why might a change in the hourly wage rate cause a change in labor productivity?
32. Explain how the wage-productivity adjustment mechanism approaches and equilibrium.
33. In the wage adjustment mechanism, if wages are cut, why might output prices increase?
34. Why, according to the wage adjustment mechanism, would a profit maximizing firm willingly pay wages higher than those required by a competitive labor market?

Questions 35 - 37 are based on the following.

Evidence from studies comparing employment in adjacent states and counties with different minimum wage rates show that increases in the minimum wage rate have little or no effect on employment. If anything, an increase in minimum wage seems to cause a slight increase in low wage employment. There are at least three ways of explaining this fact:

35. How does the price adjustment mechanism with income changes explain this fact?
36. How does the wage-productivity adjustment mechanism (a use of the efficiency wage framework) explain this fact?
37. How does the distribution of income adjustmentmechanism (another use of the efficiency wage rate framework) explain this fact?

38. Essay: The United States has become a throw-away economy. Rather than pay to repair something, people dispose of it, replace it with something new. Why? Explain the economics behind this tendency.

P21-6 (Lessee-Lessor Entries, Finance Lease with a Guaranteed Residual Value) (LO 2, 4) Glaus Leasing Company agrees to lease equipment to Jensen Corporation on January 1, 2017. The following information relates to the lease agreement. 1.The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years. 2.The cost of the machinery is $525,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2017, is $700,000. 3.At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $50,000. Jensen estimates that the expected residual value at the end of the lease term will be $50,000. Jensen amortizes all of its leased equipment on a straight-line basis. 4.The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017. 5.The collectibility of the lease payments is probable. 6.Glaus desires a 5% rate of return on its investments. Jensen's incremental borrowing rate is 6%, and the lessor's implicit rate is unknown. Instructions (Assume the accounting period ends on December 31.)

(a) Discuss the nature of this lease for both the lessee and the lessor.

(b) Calculate the amount of the annual rental payment required.

(c) Compute the value of the lease liability to the lessee.

(d) Prepare the journal entries Jensen would make in 2017 and 2018 related to the lease arrangement.

(e) Prepare the journal entries Glaus would make in 2017 and 2018 related to the lease arrangement.

(f) Suppose Jensen expects the residual value at the end of the lease term to be $40,000 but still guarantees a residual of $50,000. Compute the value of the lease liability at lease commencement.
