MICROECONOMICS
Part I. Short:
1. Total (domestic) social surplus (TS) is the sum of consumers surplus (CS), producers
surplus (PS) of domestic firms and government revenue (GR). If we compare
between a tariff that restricts imports to a maximum of N units (where N is positive)
and an equivalent quota that reduces imports to the same amount of N units, the
________________ will generate higher government revenue (GR) and the
________________ will generate higher total domestic social surplus (TS).
2. A shale-fracking mine produces oil at a marginal cost of 𝑀𝐶 = 10 + 0.90𝑞 where q
is barrels of oil. It supplies competitively at a price of P = $55 per barrel. Each barrel
of oil generates groundwater pollution which is estimated to have a marginal
external cost (MEC) of 𝑀𝐸𝐶 = 0.60𝑞. Without regulation, it would produce q =
_________________ barrels. If environmental regulators were to force the firm to
fully recognize the costs of the pollution generated by each barrel produced, this
firm would end up producing q = ________________ barrels of oil.
3. Below is a graph of a first-degree perfect price discriminating monopolist’s unit cost
and revenue curves (D = demand curve, MR = marginal revenue, MC = marginal cost,
ATC = average cost). Units of output are measured on the horizontal axis and the
vertical axis measures dollars per unit:
For the perfect price discriminating monopolist, total profits (not producer’s surplus)
are $________________ and total consumer surplus is $_______________. If this
monopolist could not price-discriminate and had to sell its output at a common
single price per unit then its total profits would be $________________ and total
consumer surplus would be $________________.

Part II. Analysis. Provide appropriate analysis and discussion to the following sets of
questions. Provide details of your logic or calculations where requested or where
relevant. Carefully label and explain any graphs—by themselves graphs are not self-
explanatory! I also appreciate clear writing (and handwriting). Make sure you address
all the sub-questions asked. You may use the extra sheet at the end of this exam for
calculations or extended answers.

Assignment 2
Question 1
In this question you only got one wrong that 1.18, the answer is supposed to be D but you wrote A
Question 2
You did not include the graph hence you did not answer the question. You lost about 12marks
Question 3
All your formulas are wrong hence the figures for your answers are wrong. You lost 5marks. As an
example I have provided you with two of the correct formulas
GNP @mp: GDP @ mp – net factor payments to foreign countries
NNP @ mp: GDP @mp –provision for depreciation-net factor payments to foreign countries
Question 4
You omitted the macro economic stability - Equitable distribution of national income. You lost 2
marks
Question 5
You lost 20 marks because you misunderstood the question. The types of unemployment are:
frictional, structural, seasonal and cyclical. These are the ones you were supposed to discuss
Question 6
You lost 7 marks because you did not match the correct column A to column B. I have highlighted
them in yellow.
Question 7
Your formulas are still incorrect.

ASSIGNMENT: MIDTERM I PREPARATION
Due: Optional, but you should use it to prepare for the midterm.
Instructions: This is an optional assignment whose purpose is to prepare you for the midterm.
It consists of six problems. I strongly recommend that you attempt to prepare all questions. On
Tuesday’s Midterm I will pick four questions at random from this assignment which you will need to
answer.
1. Michele, who has a relatively high income I , has altruistic feelings toward Sofia, who lives in such
poverty that she essentially has no income. Suppose Michele’s preferences are represented by the
utility function
UM .cM ; cS / D c
1�˛
M c
˛
S ;
where cM and cS are Michele and Sofia’s consumption levels, appearing as goods in a standard
Cobb-Douglas utility function. Assume that Michele can spend her income either on her own
or Sofia’s consumption (though charitable donations) and that $1 buys a unit of consumption for
either (thus, the “prices” of consumption are pM D pS D 1).
(a) Argue that the exponent ˛ can be taken as a measure of the degree of Michele’s altruism by
providing an interpretation of extreme values of ˛ D 0 and ˛ D 1. What value would make
her a perfect altruist (regarding others the same as oneself)?
(b) Solve for Michele’s optimal choices and demonstrate how they change with ˛.
(c) Suppose that there is an income tax at rate �, i.e. net income now is just .1 � � /I: Solve for
Michele’s optimal choices under the income tax rate.
(d) Now suppose that besides the income tax rate �, there are charitable deductions, so that
income spent on charitable deductions is not taxed. Argue that this amounts to changing the
price pS from $1 to $.1 � � /. Solve for the optimal choices under both the income tax rate and
charitable deductions. Does the charitable deduction have a bigger incentive effect on more
or less altruistic people?
2. Suppose that a fast-food junkie derives utility from three goods—soft drinks .x/, hamburgers .y/,
and ice cream sundaes .z/—according to the utility function
U.x; y; z/ D x0:5y0:5.1 C z/0:5:
Suppose also that the prices for these goods are given by px D 1; py D 4; and pz D 8 and that this
consumer’s income is given by I D 8:
(a) Show that, for z D 0, maximization of utility results in the same optimal choices as in the
case of a Cobb-Douglas utility function U.x; y/ D x0:5y0:5. Show also th at any choice that
results in z > 0 (even for a fractional z) reduces utility from this optimum.
(b) How do you explain the fact that z D 0 is optimal here?
(c) How high would this individual’s income have to be for any z to be purchased?

MICROECONOMICS
Part I. Short:
1. Total (domestic) social surplus (TS) is the sum of consumers surplus (CS), producers
surplus (PS) of domestic firms and government revenue (GR). If we compare
between a tariff that restricts imports to a maximum of N units (where N is positive)
and an equivalent quota that reduces imports to the same amount of N units, the
________________ will generate higher government revenue (GR) and the
________________ will generate higher total domestic social surplus (TS).
2. A shale-fracking mine produces oil at a marginal cost of 𝑀𝐶 = 10 + 0.90𝑞 where q
is barrels of oil. It supplies competitively at a price of P = $55 per barrel. Each barrel
of oil generates groundwater pollution which is estimated to have a marginal
external cost (MEC) of 𝑀𝐸𝐶 = 0.60𝑞. Without regulation, it would produce q =
_________________ barrels. If environmental regulators were to force the firm to
fully recognize the costs of the pollution generated by each barrel produced, this
firm would end up producing q = ________________ barrels of oil.
3. Below is a graph of a first-degree perfect price discriminating monopolist’s unit cost
and revenue curves (D = demand curve, MR = marginal revenue, MC = marginal cost,
ATC = average cost). Units of output are measured on the horizontal axis and the
vertical axis measures dollars per unit:
For the perfect price discriminating monopolist, total profits (not producer’s surplus)
are $________________ and total consumer surplus is $_______________. If this
monopolist could not price-discriminate and had to sell its output at a common
single price per unit then its total profits would be $________________ and total
consumer surplus would be $________________.

Part II. Analysis. Provide appropriate analysis and discussion to the following sets of
questions. Provide details of your logic or calculations where requested or where
relevant. Carefully label and explain any graphs—by themselves graphs are not self-
explanatory! I also appreciate clear writing (and handwriting). Make sure you address
all the sub-questions asked. You may use the extra sheet at the end of this exam for
calculations or extended answers.

poverty that she essentially has no income. Suppose Michele’s preferences are represented by the
utility function
UM .cM ; cS / D c
1�˛
M c
˛
S ;
where cM and cS are Michele and Sofia’s consumption levels, appearing as goods in a standard
Cobb-Douglas utility function. Assume that Michele can spend her income either on her own
or Sofia’s consumption (though charitable donations) and that $1 buys a unit of consumption for
either (thus, the “prices” of consumption are pM D pS D 1).
(a) Argue that the exponent ˛ can be taken as a measure of the degree of Michele’s altruism by
providing an interpretation of extreme values of ˛ D 0 and ˛ D 1. What value would make
her a perfect altruist (regarding others the same as oneself)?
(b) Solve for Michele’s optimal choices and demonstrate how they change with ˛.
(c) Suppose that there is an income tax at rate �, i.e. net income now is just .1 � � /I: Solve for
Michele’s optimal choices under the income tax rate.
(d) Now suppose that besides the income tax rate �, there are charitable deductions, so that
income spent on charitable deductions is not taxed. Argue that this amounts to changing the
price pS from $1 to $.1 � � /. Solve for the optimal choices under both the income tax rate and
charitable deductions. Does the charitable deduction have a bigger incentive effect on more
or less altruistic people?
2. Suppose that a fast-food junkie derives utility from three goods—soft drinks .x/, hamburgers .y/,
and ice cream sundaes .z/—according to the utility function
U.x; y; z/ D x0:5y0:5.1 C z/0:5:
Suppose also that the prices for these goods are given by px D 1; py D 4; and pz D 8 and that this
consumer’s income is given by I D 8:
(a) Show that, for z D 0, maximization of utility results in the same optimal choices as in the
case of a Cobb-Douglas utility function U.x; y/ D x0:5y0:5. Show also th at any choice that
results in z > 0 (even for a fractional z) reduces utility from this optimum.
(b) How do you explain the fact that z D 0 is optimal here?
(c) How high would this individual’s income have to be for any z to be purchased?
