Most consumers are not diamond experts

3. Comparing two population means (independent samples, sigmas unknown) 


Most consumers are not diamond experts, so many rely on an independent certification body to determine a diamond's value Diamonds are assessed on four characteristics, referred to as the "four Cs": carat weight, color, clarity, and cut. Several certification bodies issue diamond grading reports, including the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the Hoge Raad voor Diamant (HRD), and the International Gemological Institute (IGI)


If a certification body is recognized as strict in its grading, diamonds certified by that body may sell for higher prices than diamonds with the same grades that are certified by a different body. Compare the prices of diamonds graded by one certifier to the prices of diamonds graded by a different certifier to learn whether one population carries a price premium. The Diamonds data set in the following DataView tool contains data on the carat weight, color, clarity, certification body, and selling price of a random sample of 308 round-cut diamond stones.

Question 1: We are dealing with the market for tobacco. Tobacco use is known to cause several diseases. It is also known to be highly addictive.

a) Draw a graph for the tobacco market using supply and demand curves. Find the equilibrium. Label the consumer surplus and the producer surplus. (Tip: Keep in mind that tobacco is extremely addictive. What would this imply for the demand curve?)

b) Tobacco use is one of the traditional examples of negative externalities. Can you show the most efficient allocation in this market through graphing?

c) Why is the allocation you showed above is the most efficient outcome? Explain by labeling the total surplus in both cases using two different graphs. Label the additional surplus we get with the efficient allocation, compared to the market allocation.  

Question 2: We continue dealing with the market in the first question.

d) One of the policy decisions we discussed in class to correct for these types of market failures is taxing. Now assume the government decided to correct the market above through taxing buyers of tobacco. Can you show how such a tax could correct for the market failure above and help us reach the optimum allocation?

e) Even though the tax is on the b-=paying the most?

f) Would you advise the government to use this policy? Is there a deadweight loss due to this tax? Is there a welfare gain? Show. (Tip: You actually graphed this somewhere above.)

Internet Case 12.7 – Analyzing Stockholders’ Equity and EPS

(MUST POST FIRST) Initial Post – As an employee, write an internal memo to your manager addressing the following:

Using the Internet, locate the most recent annual report of a company of your choosing and write an initial post by responding to the following:

Do not research the company listed in the text.


1. For the most recent day indicated, what were the highest and lowest prices at which the company’s common stock sold?


2. Find the company’s balance sheet and determine the following: the number of outstanding shares of common stock and the average price at which those shares were originally sold.

3. What is the relationship between the current market price and the amount you have calculated in part b as the average price at which the stock originally sold?


4. Find the company’s income statement and identify the trend in basic earnings per share, including discontinued operations. Did discontinued operations have a significant impact on EPS?


5. For the most recent year, what is the average number of shares of common stock that was used to compute basic earnings per share? Why is that number different from the number outstanding in the company’s balance sheet?
