Wichita — Farmers in Kansas, the biggest US producerof wheat, are abandoning their crops damaged by severedrought and cold.Some are spraying wheat fields with crop-killingchemicals and claiming insurance payouts in the beliefthat it is not worth harvesting the little grain that thereis, Reuters found on a three-day tour of the state. Othergrowers let cattle graze on the dismal-looking fields.Abandoning fields will reduce the crop of the world’sfifth-largest wheat exporter, with stocks expected to fallto a 16-year low. Large-scale abandonment deals aneconomic blow to farm towns and force wheat buyersto adjust procurement plans by buying the staple grainelsewhere.Nationally, winter-wheat farmers plan to abandon 33%of the acres they planted, the highest percentage sinceWorld War 1, the US department of agriculture said ina May 12 report.Kansas farmers are expected to abandon about 19% ofthe area planted last autumn, up from 10% in 2022 and4% in 2021, according to the report.

If 10 million toy cars are sold. which means that: The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency more should be produced. From the data given it is impossible to tell if toy cars are being produced at the efficient level. O The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency less should be produced. The production of toy cars is currently at the efficient level. IF 30 million toy cars are sold, - vwhich means that: The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency more should be produced. O From the data given it is impossible to tell if toy cars are being produced at the efficient level. The production of toy cars is currently at the efficient level. The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency less should be produced. The optimal allocation of resources would result in the production of toy cars.
The graph shows the market for paper. The government passes a new law that limits the quantity of paper that producers sell to 40 tons of paper a day. C because This market for paper is O A. efficient; production is greater than zero O B. inefficient; the marginal cost of the 40th ton of paper is greater than the marginal benefit from the 40th ton of paper inefficient; more paper could be produced O C. O D. inefficient; the marginal benefit from the 40th ton of paper is greater than the marginal cost of the 40th ton of paper O E. efficient; the marginal cost of the 40th ton of paper equals the marginal benefit from the 40th ton of paper Draw the deadweight loss when production is 40 tons of paper a day.

A nomadic tribe in Lapland spends all its productive time hunting reindeer. Someof the reindeer meat is kept for consumption and the remainder is sold at a nearbytrading station in return for other goods. It is observed that when the price ofreindeer meat increases the amount the tribe is willing to supply decreases.(a) Sketch this situation in a diagram, with axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘all othergoods’. (Hint: locate the production position and sketch the consumptionopportunities line before and after the price change).(b) Determine if reindeer meat is an inferior good to the tribe?(Hint: consider what happens to the consumption position).(c) How does the analysis change if the tribe can hunt and trade fish as well as thereindeer? (Hint: now label the axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘fish’ and considerboth the production and consumption decisions

The graph shows the market for cashews. What is the equilibrium price of cashews? What is the equilibrium quantity of cashews? Is the market for cashews efficient or inefficient? Why? CIER The equilibrium price of cashews is $ a pound and the equilibrium quantity of cashews is pounds. The market for cashews is O A. inefficient only if the cost of growing all the cashews is an average of $6.00 a pound OB. efficient because the marginal benefit of cashews equals the marginal cost of producing them, which is $6.00 a pound OC. inefficient because growers of cashews receive a large producer surplus O D. efficient because the benefit of each pound of cashews consumed equals the cost of growing it OE. efficient only if the total benefit of the cashews equals $6.00 a pound billion A 12.00- 10.00- 8.00- 6.00+ 4.00- 2.00- 0.00+ 0 Price (dollars per pound) S 3 9 12 6 Quantity (billions of pounds per year) D 15 Q Q
