Phelps was suspicious of the tradeoff suggested by the Phillips curve. He thought that sensible, forward-looking people should not change their behavior just because the prices on all the price tags in the economy increased at 4% per year instead of at 2% per year.

Phelps started his analysis by asking what determines the unemployment rate. One of the key points he recognized was that unemployment is the inevitable consequence of an economy in which some firms go out of business each month and some workers quit their jobs each month. Once a worker is out of a job, the individual will take some time searching for the next one.

Consider the following scenario.

Picture an economy with 100,000 workers in its labor force. The unemployment rate is simply the number of unemployed workers divided by the number of workers in the labor force. At the beginning of January, the unemployment rate is 4.76%, so 4,760 people in the labor force are unemployed.

Suppose that in January, 10% of the workers who were unemployed at the beginning of the month start new jobs. This means that _____(476 or 47,600) people leave the unemployment category in January.

Suppose that in January the job separation rate equals 1%. That is, 1% of the people who were employed at the beginning of the month are laid off or quit. This means ____ ( 95,240 or 952) people are added to the unemployment category that month. (Hint: Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Assume the size of the labor force does not change from January to February. Considering that the job separation rate is 1% during January, and 10% of unemployed workers find new jobs, the unemployment rate at the beginning of February will be approximately ____ (8.96%, 4.28%, 5.24%, 2.64%, 4.76&, 5.12%) .(Hint: Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.)

Generalizing from your calculations for January, if in February, the job separation rate is 1%, and 10% of unemployed workers get jobs, the unemployment rate at the end of February will ____ (increase, decrease, or remain the same) .

Suppose that at the beginning of August, the unemployment rate is 4.76%, however, this month just 0.1% of the employed workers become unemployed.

Suppose that in August, 10% of the workers who were unemployed at the beginning of the month find new jobs. The unemployment rate be at the beginning of September will be ____ (1.12%, 4.38%, 2.64%, 0.84%, 4.76%, 1.96%) . (Hint: Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Now suppose that in September, the job separation rate returns to normal: 1% of the workers who were employed at the beginning of the month become unemployed. As always, 10% of the workers who are unemployed find jobs during the month.

In the last question, you calculated a lower unemployment rate for the beginning of September. Use the numbers of employed workers and unemployed workers implied by this unemployment rate to calculate how many employed workers become unemployed during September and how many unemployed workers find jobs during September.

The unemployment rate at the end of September is ____ (4.25%, 2.75%, 3.5%, 8.5%, 5%) .

a) Find the optimum purchases of X1 and X2 for the following information: U = utility = X4 1 X2, P1 = price of X1 = 4, P2 = price of X2 = 5, and y = income = 25.

Calculate also the maximum level of utility.

b) Assume the individual receives 4 of X2 as a gift. The individual can sell his gift if he wishes. Find his new optimum purchases of X1 and X2. Explain also diagrammatically.

c) Now assume that the individual cannot sell his gift. Find his optimum purchases of X1 and X2. Is the individual happier in case (b) or in case (c)? Explain and prove your answer. d) Suppose in case (a) the price of X2 falls to P2 = 4. What is the consumer surplus gain for the new optimum purchase of X2?

Read the following and answer the related questions that follow it.

Auric plc is a mining company, whose main business consists of open cast
mining. It has Articles of Association that are in the form of model Articles. The
board of directors includes Penny, Howard and Emily.

At a recent board meeting, the directors considered an offer from Trek Mines
plc to sell land adjoining one of Auric plc’s mining sites for £550,000. The
board of Auric plc decided that the company should not accept the offer as it
doubted whether it could raise the finance needed to buy the land. Penny then
formed her own company, Gold Ltd, which purchased the land for £550,000. At
the same meeting, the directors discussed a proposed contract with Texas plc,
which is being considered to survey a plot of land recently purchased by Auric
plc. Howard owns 10% of the shares in Texas plc, but did not reveal his interest
at the board meeting.

Emily has an arrangement with Comic plc whereby she receives a 10%
commission for all orders placed with it by Auric plc. Six months ago, Auric plc
purchased some drilling equipment from Comic plc for £100,000, for which
Emily was paid £10,000 commission.

The shareholders of Auric plc have discovered these facts, and they have
passed an ordinary resolution directing the board of directors to commence
legal proceedings against Penny, Howard and Emily.
