As we have discussed, Bronsted acid/base reactions can, in principle, go in either direction. For the Bronsted acid/base reaction below, decide whether you can use the amide anion to successfully deprotonate acetylene, or is the reverse reaction more likely?

How many free absences do all students receive before additional absences begin to negatively affect their grade?

Which of the following moves represents the income effect of the price change?

You are currently using three printing presses (capital) and five employees (labor) to print 100 sales manuals per hour. Suppose the marginal rate of technical substitution at this point is 0.5 (capital is on the vertical axis and labor is on the horizontal axis of the isoquant map). If you were to purchase another printing press, by how much could you reduce the number of employees you hire (i.e., how many units of labor would you be willing to sacrifice) while still maintaining output?

Which of the following moves represents the substitution effect of the price change?

Natasha derives utility from attending rock concerts (R) and drinking colas (C) as follows: U(C,R)=C.9R.1. The marginal utility of cola is 0.9C-.1R.1, and the marginal utility of rock concerts is 0.1C.9R-.9. If the price of colas is PC=$1, the price of concert tickets is PR=$30, and Natasha’s income is $300, how many colas and concert tickets should Natasha buy to maximize utility. Show all your work. Leave the field below blank. Score will be based on the photo / pdf of your work.

Consider the market for cream cheese. Suppose the price of bagels (a complement to cream cheese) falls. Simultaneously, the price of milk (an input into cream cheese) falls. What would you predict will happen to the equilibrium price of cream cheese? To the equilibrium quantity of cream cheese? Explain and draw diagrams to support your answer.  Leave the field below blank. Score will be based on the photo / pdf of your work.

Consider the diagram below: When the price rises from P1 to P2, consumer surplus

Joe owns a coffee house and produces coffee drinks under the production function Q = 3KL where Q is the number of cups generated per hour, K is the number of coffee machines (capital), and L is the number of employees hired per hour (labor). Joe currently has three coffee machines (i.e., K = 3). What is his short-run production function?

The price of lemonade is $0.50; the price of popcorn is $1.00. Fred has maximized his utility by purchasing lemonade and popcorn. At his current consumption bundle, Fred would be willing to give up
