A Firm Produces Two Goods. The Cost Of This Firm Is 𝐶(𝑞1, 𝑞2) =
A firm produces two goods. The cost of this firm is 𝐶(𝑞1, 𝑞2) = 𝑞1 𝑞2 − (𝑞1𝑞2)^1/3, where 𝑞1 is the quantity of good 1 and 𝑞2 is the quantity of good 2. We consider 𝑞1, 𝑞2 for which 𝐶(𝑞1, 𝑞2) is positive. a. What are the marginal costs of good 1 and good 2? b. Now suppose that the two goods are always produced in the same proportion: 𝑞1/𝑞2 = 𝛼 /1−𝛼. Hence, 𝑞1 = 𝛼𝑞 and 𝑞2 = (1 − 𝛼)𝑞. Derive an expression for the ray average cost, RAC(q). c. Does 𝐶(𝑞1, 𝑞2) exhibit economies of scale? In other words, is the ray average cost decreasing in q? d. Does 𝐶(𝑞1, 𝑞2) exhibit economies of scope? Explain.

Q1: Suppose The Government Is Not Sure Of The Exact Benefits Or Costs To
Q1: Suppose the government is not sure of the exact benefits or costs to various stakeholders of setting restrictions on nitrate (N) or e coli bacteria (E) emissions into rivers and lakes. Dairy farmers would prefer to have higher allowable caps on both N and E, while environmental groups would prefer to have lower allowable caps on both N and E. Historically, large levels of E have been allowed, while moderate levels of N have been allowed illustrated by point ‘A’ in the diagramme below. Faced with growing public pressure to reduce allowable caps on both E and N, the government announces that it plans to change the (E,N) caps to point ‘B’ in the diagramme above. However, the government also announces that dairy farmers and environmentalists are free to negotiate the allowable cap levels of (E,N). If they can both agree to an (E,N) cap policy they both prefer to point “B’, the government commits to adopt that policy. a. Using standard economic theory, where in the diagramme above would you predict that the Environmentalists and Dairy Farmers will negotiate to? (Hint: you may not be able to predict a precise outcome, but rather a range of outcomes. Be as precise as you can and explain your answer. You can draw your own Edgeworth Box like that above if that would help you answer.). Back to the b. Based on findings by Bruce and Clark (2015), how would your prediction in part (a) be affected by the location of the historical allowable (E,N) caps at point ‘A’? Again, be as precise as you can. c. Returning to standard economic theory, suppose the government quietly reassures the Dairy Farmers that, if negotiations with Environmentalists fail, the government will actually revert to historical (E,N) caps at point ‘A’. What outcome to negotiations would you predict? Be precise. Q2:Returning to the general situation of Question 1, suppose that Dairy Farmers have productio processes that always require the emissions of E (E coli bacteria) and N (nitrates) in equa proportions. (Thus, it is of no help to them to have a higher allowance for E than for N, or vice ersa). Dairy Farmers would prefer to have higher allowable emissions of both E and N In contrast, suppose that Environmentalists are concerned about the sum total of E and N emissions, but indifferent about the proportions of E or N in that total. Environmentalists would prefer to have lower allowable emissions of E plus N. a. Assume that the maximum possible allowable level of E is 24 units, and that the maximum possible allowable level of N is 24 units. Please construct an Edgeworth Box, with the Dairy Farmers in the bottom left corner, and the Environmentalists in the top right corner. Be careful to label and scale your axes, and include a couple of indifference curves for both stakeholders that accurately reflect the information given above. b. Assume next that the government’s current policy, and backstop, is for there to be an allowable limit of E emissions of 18, and of N emissions of 6. Please label this point as ‘B’ in your Edgeworth Box, and carefully include the Dairy Farmers’ specific indifference curve that passes through this point, and the Environmentalists’ specific indifference curve that passes through this point. Please highlight the bargaining lens created by the backstop policy ‘B’. c. Please identify the combinations of Allowable E and Allowable N that are both Pareto efficient, and Pareto improvements to the Backstop of (E,N) (18,6). You can limit your answer to integer combinations (i.e. no decimals or fractions). d. Can stakeholder bargaining over environmental problems lead to improvements over backstop government policy, even when one of the two stakeholders (as here) is unwilling to trade off more of one good in exchange for less of the other good? Explain briefly.
Introduction ASOS Is The UK’s Market Leader In Online Fashion Retailing. It Offers Own-label,
Introduction ASOS is the UK’s market leader in online fashion retailing. It offers own-label, branded fashion and designer goods. Its headquarters are in Camden Town in North London. ASOS originally stood for As Seen on Screen. The company was set up in June 2000 with just two people to bring the latest fashion trends to shoppers as quickly as possible. It has rapidly grown to become the UK’s largest independent online fashion retailer. It stocks over 22,000 product styles on its website and introduces up to 1,000 new products to its ranges each week. The ASOS website attracts over five million visitors a month and the company currently has around 1.2 million active customers (that is, people who have bought in the last six months). It was named Online Retailer of the Year in 2008 by Retail Week Awards. ASOS provides high fashion clothing for women, men and children, as well as footwear, accessories, jewellery and beauty products. It aims these primarily at a target audience of 16-34 year olds. However, as the company continues to grow and diversify its product ranges and increase awareness, it appeals to a much wider online fashion market. Over 20% of its current customer database is aged over 35. Each week ASOS delivers 70,000 packages to the homes of its online customers. ASOS has been able to exploit the increasing popularity of online shopping to help the business grow. According to research from IMRG UK, an organisation which tracks online sales: around 50% of 16 to 24 year olds buy clothes online more than once a month 30% of women have bought clothes online the total UK online spend in 2007 was £42.0 million there were 26 million UK online shoppers in 2007. Online shopping provides customers with the convenience of making purchases whenever and wherever they like. ASOS use of technology helps to increase sales by providing easy navigation around the website and helpful tools like the ‘catwalk’ option so items can be seen on moving models. The business also benefits from its visionary approach to traditional retailing by not having high street stores. This keeps its staffing and property costs down.As consumers, we buy millions of products every year. These products just like humans have a lifecycle. Question Using the above case study explain the four (4) phases of the Product Life Cycle.

Rotting Teeth And Fatty Organs Turn Australians Sour On Sugar Consumption Has Been Flat-lining,
Rotting teeth and fatty organs turn Australians sour on sugar Consumption has been flat-lining, and appetite for the sweet stuff probably won’t grow much at all in the medium term as people shift to low sugar, diet and sugar- free options, said Mr Charles Clack, a Rabobank analyst in Sydney. Some state governments have been trying to discourage consumption by displaying graphic images of rotting teeth and fatty organs on buses and billboards. “Health is a large factor behind this trend, offsetting the positive influence of stable domestic population growth,” said Mr Clack. Australia isn’t the only place where people appear to be wary of over-indulging in sugar. Demand in the European Union has hardly changed in recent years, and several countries have imposed taxes on sugar consumption, including Britain and South Africa. Taking up the slack is Asia, eating and drinking more of the sweetener than ever before. Since the region accounts for over 40 per cent of the world’s sugar consumption, global demand has been climbing steadily, expanding 15 per cent in the past decade, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Not only has Asian usage been rising, but it also has more room to grow, with populations expanding and per capita consumption low in some countries. In Australia, people consumed 10.8kg per person of sugar and sweeteners in 2018, while consumption in North America was 11.5kg, according to Euromonitor data. In China, people ate or drank just 5.5kg per person, and in India it was 8.9kg. Health issues “are not exclusive to Australia but, with lower per capita consumption, there is a less pressing agenda in India and China to address sugar over-consumption”, said Mr Clack. Given the lower sugar ingestion, health concerns are less prevalent, he said. He expects both those Asian nations to show signs of increasing sugar consumption through this year. MODERATION IMPORTANT Demand in some Asian nations is considerably higher than developed countries. In Malaysia, one of the top users in the Asia-Pacific with consumption of 31.5kg per person of sugar and sweeteners last year, the country’s top producer of refined sugar says it is unfair to just blame sugar for diseases. “I disagree… that only sugar causes diabetes. It’s about the way of life: how you manage your diet, exercising, taking things in moderation,” said Mr Khairil Anuar Aziz, executive director of MSM Malaysia Holdings. “Some people may not like it when I say this because I’m in the sugar business, but logically we as human beings need sugar as well, and moderation with a balanced lifestyle is very important,” he said in an interview. CHINA MARKET MSM is hoping to tap rising demand in China, and is in the final stages of discussions to set up partnerships in the nation’s downstream industry. It also wants to sell sugar for popular snacks such as bubble tea and for health drinks. Rising demand may help bring relief to farmers. The global market could swing to a 4.3 million metric tonne deficit in 2019-20 from this year’s 1.1 million tonne surplus, Rabobank said in March. Futures in New York are broadly flat in 2019 after plunging about 40 per cent in the past two years. Still, things aren’t likely to change much in Australia. For Mr Daniel Jackson, 40, who started food supply business Artisan Foods seven years ago with two small delivery trucks in Perth, Western Australia, the change in sentiment has been a boon. He has moved to a warehouse five times the size and doubled his fleet as demand for alternative products booms. He sells 100kg a week of coconut sugar, a substitute for the mainstream version, and about 2,000 cartons of sugar-free kombucha drinks, from nothing two years ago. “I never intended to build a health food product business, but that’s where it’s ended up,” he said. Please read the article attached and answer the questions(WITH DIAGRAMS): 1. “Rising demand may help bring relief to farmers”. Using the concept of price elasticity of demand, explain and illustrate how this change will affect the farmers total revenue. 2. The article mentioned that “….. several countries have imposed taxes on sugar consumption, including Britain and South Africa”. Explain and illustrate using economic theory and model, how this will affect the efficiency of the sugar market. In your answer, you need to also clearly explain on how the tax will be shared between buyers and sellers.
