If a firm believes that their relative price has changed, then they will increase their output, since theirproduct is more valuable (in relative price terms). Thus, the output of firms will be Y = Y +x (P - EP)where alpha is the relative increase in work driven by an increase in expected price levelThirty percent of firms can adjust their prices ex-post. If a=1, and the current price level is $200,then draw the SRAS curve around the potential output of $10,000. Then, determine the increasein price above expectation if 40% of firms are sticky-price firms, flexible price firms respond witha=0.02 and Y rises by $2400.

The above given is a problem of Sticky price model which can be solved as follows:

Explain what factors might have caused investor asset demand for real estate to grow in Question 2.8. Question 8 Suppose investor demand for real estate assets grows in the sense that prevailing cap rates (OARs) in the property asset market fall from 10% to 8%. Assuming usage demand remains constant in the space market, show on a four-quadrant diagram, similar to Exhibit 2-4b, the short- and long-run effects of this change in investor demand. [Hint: You can answer qualitatively or recognize that specific quantitative answers will depend on the shapes and slopes of the curves (i.e., the elasticities) in each quadrant.]
11.3 The price of crude oil during the period 2000-2010 can be approximated by P(t) = 6t + 18 dollars per barrel (0 ≤ t ≤ 10) in year t, where t = 0 represents 2000. Russia's crude oil production over the same period can be approximated by Q(t) = −0.08t2 + 1.2t + 5.5 million barrels per day (0 ≤ t ≤ 10). † Use these models to estimate Russia's daily oil revenue and also its rate of change in 2007. (Round your answers to the nearest $1 million.) daily oil revenue$ millionrate of change in 2007$ million per year
Consider the maximization problem of a company that has complete flexibility to change all its factors of production. The price (p,) of its final product is 24, the price (w1) of input x1 is 1 and the price (w2) of input x2 is 4. The maximization problem is given by: 1/31/6 maxxx,Pyy – W,x1 – W2X2 s.a. y = xx a) Present the problem of maximization of the company. b) Find the first order conditions that must be solved to find the level optimal inputs. c) Show that optimal production meets the following conditions: xi = 8y* ó xị = 2(y*)2 (y")2 x = y* ó x = 4
Following Hotelling, we might expect the real price of nonrenewable resources to increase continually over time, as resource stocks are depleted. But empirical evidence for a number of nonrenewable (mineral) resources indicates that their prices over the past century have not been increasing monotonically. Instead the price paths for a number of nonrenewable resources have been “U-shaped”. Provide an explanation for what’s going on. i.e. resolve this apparent anomaly between theory and observation- why would the price of these resources be driven down instead of increasing as the theory predicts?

Demand and Supply model In the notes and lessons, we saw that quantity demanded and quantity supplied may be related by the recurrence relations Pn+1-Pn =α (Dn - Pn), Dn+1-Dn =β (Pn - Dn), where Pn is the level production after n time intervals, Dn is the quantity demanded by the consumer and α and β are proportionality constants. Suppose α=β=k. Which of the following gives the best description of the behaviour of the quantity demanded and level of production when k=2? A. The level of production oscillates with a decreasing amplitude. The quantity demanded also oscillates with a decreasing amplitude. The level of production and quantity demanded diverge from each other as the number time steps n goes to infinity. B. The level of production oscillates with a decreasing amplitude. The quantity demanded also oscillates with a decreasing amplitude. The level of production and quantity demanded reach equilibrium as the number time steps n goes to infinity. C. The level of…
2. Bart lives for two periods: young and old. He can supply labor when he's young, earning $1 per hour. His utility function is given by u (c1,l1, c2) = log c1 – 0l7 + B log c2 where c is consumption at period t, 1 is the labor supplied, ß = , € (0,1) is the time discount factor, and p is time preference. There is an asset market that individuals can save and borrow at interest rate (1+r). (a) Solve for the optimization problem (cj, cž, l4) of Bart. (b) Suppose that the government imposes capital and labor income taxes, TK and TL. Define the life-time budget constraint of Bart with taxes. (c) Solve for the optimization problem with taxes. Does your answer differ from part (a)? Explain.

In the short run, the quantity of output supplied by firms can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level deviates from the expected price level in the economy. A number of theories explain reasons why this might happen. For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will (decrease/not change/increase) , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by (raising/lowering) the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to (fall short of/exceed) the…

Given that the inputs are not perfect substitutes nor perfect compliments. A firm employs x amount of workers and has x amount of machines. How the firm would react if wages increase in the short and long term given that the firm wants to keep its output constant? New machines can be ordered within 6 months.
