1. What is a market-clearing model? When is it appropriate to assume that market clear? 2. Use the model of supply and demand to explain how fall in the price of frozen yogurt would affect the price of ice cream and the quantity of ice cream sold. In your explanation, identify the exogenous and endogenous variables. 3. Consider an economy that produces and consumes hot dogs and hamburgers. In the following table are data for two different years. Goods Hot dogs Hamburgers Quantity (2010) 200 200 Price (2010) $2 $3 Quantity (2020) 250 250 Price (2020) $4 $4

In a microeconomic model, how would you differentiate between an 'exogenous' variable and an 'endogenous' variable? O Endogenous variables are those determined within the model, while exogenous variables are given from outside the model. O Exogenous variables are those which economists do not study, while endogenous variables are heavily studied. O Exogenous variables are variables that economists cannot measure, while endogenous variables are measurable. Exogenous variables cannot influence endogenous variables in any economic model. O More than one of the above.
Suppose you observed that the consumption of organges increased sharply last year, however thet total consumer expenditure on oranges did not change. Did a supply shift, demand shift or both cause this? explain using graphs
1. Read carefully chapter 16 concerning general equilibrium analysis. Answer the following questions: In a general equilibrium analysis with two substitute goods, x and y, explain what would а. happen to the price in market x and y if supply of good y increased? How would your answer differ if x and y were complements? b. Can the utility possibilities frontier ever be upward sloping? Why? c. Explain how consumers in an economy can be made better off if the marginal rate of transformation does not equal consumers' marginal rate of substitution?
B. Identify which of the following is a Change in Demand and Change in Qty Demanded. _1. The price of gasoline goes down and more motor oil is bought. _2. Price of fish falls, consumers are buying more fish. _3. Price of cellphones falls and more cellphones are bought. _4. Population changes its habit of drinking and they prefer cold drinks than hot drinks. 5. Face shields are required to avoid COVID-19 and more face shields are purchased _6. Consumers are buying goods online and few goes to the malls _7. People stay safe at home and consumes more electricity
5. A consumer buys only two goods, X and Y. No other goods exist and there is no possibility of saving. The marginal utility of X is independent of the quantity of Y consumed, and the marginal utility of Y is independent of the quantity of X consumed. MUX is constant no matter how he consumes, but MUY falls as consumption increases. In the initial equilibrium he consumes one of each good. How much can you infer about the following:a.) The slope of the indifference curveb.) The curvature of the indifference curvec.) Whether the marginal utility of money is constant, rising, or falling as money income increases.d.) the income elasticity of demand for Ye.) The price elasticity of demand for X.
Figure 2-16 caps of coffee per day Avans with at sery Refer to Figure 2-16. Taking cause and effect into account, which of the following interpretations would be most reasonable regarding the relationship between coffee and hours without sleep? O The less coffee a person drinks per day, the more time he can go without sleep. There is no relationship between how much coffee per day a person drinks and how long he can go without sleep. The more coffee a person drinks per day, the more time he can go without sleep. O The more coffee a person drinks per day, the less time he can go without sleep.
