Consider the market for hamburgers in an economy where the market equilibrium is characterized by a quantity of hamburgers of 50 million and a price of $5.00 per hamburger.

1. Suppose that currently 50 million hamburgers are being produced and sold at a price of $5.00. This outcome in the market for hamburgers is economically___________ because:

a. Some hamburgers that are valued more highly by consumers than their opportunity cost of production are not being produced and sold.
b. Some hamburgers produced incur opportunity costs of production that exceed their value or marginal benefit to consumers.
c. The opportunity cost of producing the last hamburger equals the marginal benefit of consumption.

2. Which Of the following must be true for a market to be able to achieve an efficient outcome?

a. The market price is determined solely by the forces Of supply Of and demand for a good.
b. Firms can freely enter Or exit the market without any barriers.
c. Private property rights are well-defined and enforced.

3. Which of the following must be true fora market to be able to achieve an efficient outcome?

c. Private property rights are well-defined and enforced.

Answer and Explanation:

Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.


Jeans Rye

(Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor)

Bellissima 8 16
Dolorium 5 20

Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of rye, and Dolorium produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of rye. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and rye it produces.

Felicidad's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is (1/2 bushel, 1/4 bushel, 2 bushel, 4 bushel) of corn, and Bellissima's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is (1/2 bushel, 1/4 bushel, 2 bushel, 4 bushel) of corn. Therefore, (Bellissima, Felicidad) has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and (Bellissima, Felicidad) has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces jeans will produce _____ million pairs per month, and the country that produces corn will produce _____ million bushels per month.

We know that most decisions are in part, based on expectations of the future. Suppose we have two people who are trying to decide whether to consume today (assume it is currently January 2008) or save for the future and consume one year later, in January 2009. One person, let's call him Joe, is basing his decision on the ex-ante real rate of interest like most of us do. The other person who has a crystal ball, we'll call her Crystal, can see exactly what the actual rate of inflation is going to be and thus, has perfect foresight and bases her decision on the ex-post real rate. Look at the difference in the ex-ante and ex-post real rates you calculated in #25 and # 26 above. Who would be more likely to save and who would be more likely to spend? A. Both Joe and Crystal are savers. B. Both Joe and Crystal are spenders. C. Crystal saves, Joe spends. D. Crystal spends, Joe saves.

You are an industry analyst for the telecom sector. You are analyzing financial reports from two companies: tt & t Inc. and Phonez Corp. corporate tax for both firms is 35%. Your associate analyst has calculated and compiled, in the following table, a list of important figures you need for the analysis:

TT &T Inc. Phonz Crop.
EBIT $175,000 $124,600
Depreciation $70,000 $49,840
Total operating capital $1,029,000 $802,900
Net investment in operating capital $490,000 $259,000
WACC 8.84% 11.50%

In your analysis, you want to look for several characteristics-one of them being the return on invested capital (ROIC). Using the information available, complete the following statements:

TT&T inc. has a ______________free cash flow than Phonez Corp. does. The net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for tt&t inc. is___________, whereas the NOPAT for Phonez Corp. is_________.

Amber, a publicly held corporation, had been paying its chief executive officer (CEO) an annual salary of $900,000. Amber instituted a performance-based compensation plan, effective January 1, 2017, that increased the CEO's 2017 compensation by $300,000. It is anticipated that the plan will provide an additional $350,0000 in 2019. Prepare a letter to Amber's board of directors explaining how much of the CEO's 2019 compensation is deductible and the consequences of any changes that might be made to the compensation plan in 2019. Address the letter to the board chairperson, Angela Riddle, whose address is 100 James Tower, Cleveland, OH 44106. Dear Ms. Riddle:
I am responding to your inquiry regarding the current compensation plans for Amber Corporation's president. The Board agreed to amend the president's compensation plan effective January 1, 2017, to allow an increase in the compensation she can earn through a performance-based compensation plan. In 2017, the president earned an additional $300,000 under her revised contract. This amount increased to $350,000 in 2018 and 2019, and it is projected that she will increase her earnings by $350,000 under this plan in 2020.
In general, any salary paid to the president in excess of $_______ is deemed excessive executive compensation and not deductible. Before 2018, compensation earned under a performance-based compensation option was not subject to this limitation. Therefore, in 2017, Amber deducted $________ as compensation.

Considering the following labor markets. A slightly different feature of labor markets is that employees are the suppliers of labor and firms are the demanders of labor.
