Answer any two questions from the 3 questions below. At least one market equilibrium graph is
required and at least 150-word response to explain the graph and answer the question.
Question #1: Suppose that you are the economic advisor to a local government that has to deal with a
politically embarrassing surplus that was caused by a price floor that the government recently imposed.
Your first suggestion is to get rid of the price floor, but the politicians don’t want to do that. Instead,
they present you with the following list of options that they hope will get rid of the surplus while
keeping the price floor. Identify each one as either could work or can’t work.
a. Restricting supply.
b. Decreasing demand.
c. Purchasing the surplus at the floor price.

Question #2: In some countries, such as France, every corpse is available for doctors to “harvest” for
organs unless the deceased, while still alive, signed a form forbidding the organs to be harvested. In the
USA, it is the opposite: No harvesting is allowed unless the deceased had signed, while still alive, an
organ donor form authorizing doctors to harvest any needed organs. Use supply and demand figures to
show in which country organ shortages are likely to be less severe.

Question #3: Governments can use subsidies to increase demand. For instance, the government can
pay farmers to use organic fertilizers rather than traditional fertilizers. That subsidy increases the
demand for organic fertilizer. Consider two industries, one in which supply is nearly vertical and the
other in which supply is nearly horizontal. Assume that firms in both industries would prefer a higher
market equilibrium price because a higher market equilibrium price would mean higher profits.
Which industry would probably spend more resources lobbying the government to increase the demand
for its output? (Assume that both industries have similarly sloped demand curves.)
a. The industry with a nearly flat supply curve.
b. The industry with a nearly vertical supply curve.

Based on how “Greed” is portrayed in the video do you believe it can provide benefits to society?

Watch the above video. Once you have done this post a response to each of the bullets below.
Based on how “Greed” is portrayed in the video do you believe it can provide benefits to society?
Give a personal example of something you do for your own best interest that also benefits others. Alternatively, give an example of something you have done that only harmed others. Are both “Greedy”? Do you see a difference between “Greed” and “Self-interest”?
Do you believe love and kindness would produce the same level of output in a society as “self-interest”? Why or why not?
Would you consider a business owner attempting to hire workers at a lower wage greedy? What about a worker attempting to get a higher wage from the employer?
By going to school and getting an education you are likely to significantly raise your income, do you believe such an increase in your income will take income away from others? If yes, than why would you do such a thing? If no, how can one person’s income go up without someone else’s going down?

Find an article on the www that gives information about a corporate strategy decision an organization has made

Find an article on the www that gives information about a corporate strategy decision an organization has made. How does this corporate strategy decision potentially create additional value (i.e. economies of scope, or “synergies”) compared to what would happen had the organization not made the decision? What will be the evidence/measure(s) the organization, or analysts, or investors, will be looking at in a few years to see whether or not the synergies have actually been achieved? In your write-up, include a www link to the article/story you are writing about. Guideline: approximately 300 words (equates to approximately one page, double-spaced) I need this back in 2.5 Hours. Must be typed, Original, No PLAGARISM.

Compare and contrast the theory of Mercantilism, Ricardo’s theory of Absolute Advantage and Comparative Advantage

Compare and contrast the theory of Mercantilism, Ricardo’s theory of Absolute Advantage and Comparative Advantage, and Adam Smith’s theory of international trade. Variations of all of these theories are still applicable today in regards to international trade. Give an example of each one of these three theories being applied today by a nation and how it exactly relates to each theory (Hint: one country cannot practice all three).

While over the long run, the economy grows about 2 to 3% per year on average, over the shorter term, the economy goes through business cycles. Think about the growth rate of GDP, the inflation rate, and the unemployment rate over the last 12 quarters. Once you’ve looked at the data, can you draw conclusions about the state of the economy? Would you describe the economy as booming, recovering, or in recession during the last few years? Why? Use the AD-AS model to illustrate this graphically. Which curve do you think caused the change? Explain your reasoning. Remember to cite your sources according to the APA Citation style.
Include your textbook/course material in your references., and then other academically reliable sources.
Avoid using any sources ending with “pedia” as reference

Tips on Designing an Infographic
Build an infographic and attach a written summary for items which cannot fit on the infographic.
An information graphic (infographic) is a visual representation of a data set or instructive material. Infographics take a large amount of information in text (or numerical form) and then condense it into a combination of images and text highlights. This modern data transformation technique allows viewers to quickly grasp essential insights about a specific subject. Review this ten-minute video (link below) to see what elements go into creating an effective infographic. It will provide some background on how to complete your assignment for this week.
How to Create an Infographic – Part 1: What Makes a Good Infographic?
Get as creative as possible, and design a well-organized, easy to understand infographic. You can visit Piktochart, Canva, Venngage, and Visme online for infographic examples, tips on how to create them, and templates.
