Peter Rabbit and Little Red Ridding Hood

Option 3 (Thesis-Driven): Both Peter Rabbit and Little Red Riding Hood focus on teaching children–in other words, on using the narrative in order to instruct children how to act (and not to act) in the world. Peter Rabbit teaches children by having Peter perform certain actions and be punished for them, while Little Red Riding Hood does it by including a poem at the end telling young readers how they should interpret the story. With that in mind, for this challenge I want you to address this question: Taken together, what do Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit and Charles Perrault’s Little Red Riding Hood show us about children’s literature’s ability to teach lessons? For this challenge, feel free to work through the differences as much as the similarities between the stories. What would happen if, for example, Little Red Riding Hood were published without a poem at the end? Or, what would happen if Peter Rabbit were published with a poem telling us how to read it

Q.2. (20 Points) Suppose that demand is perfectly inelastic. Supply is normal and upward sloping. What is the economic incidence of a unit tax placed on suppliers? Illustrate this with an appropriate diagram.
Q.3. (20 Points) Suppose the original before-tax demand curve for CD players is P = 100 – 2Qd. Suppose further that supply is P = 5 + 3Qs. Now suppose a $5 unit tax is imposed on consumers. a. Graph (i) market demand and supply, (ii) before tax equilibrium (𝑄0,𝑝0), and (iii) after tax equilibrium (𝑄1,𝑝𝑔,𝑝𝑛)? b. Calculate the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity, (𝑄1,𝑝𝑔,𝑝𝑛)? c. How much tax revenue is raised?
Q.4. (20 Points) A monopoly faces the market demand, 𝑃 = 600 − 2𝑄 where 𝑃 is the price of the product and 𝑄 is the quantity demanded. The total cost of production of the monopoly is 𝑇𝐶 = 500 + 𝑄2. a. Calculate the profit maximizing output level and price of the monopoly. Calculate the profit. b. Government imposes a unit tax of $180 on consumers which shifts the demand curve down to, 𝑃 = 420− 2𝑄. Calculate the price paid by the consumers and price received by monopoly. Calculate also after-tax profit of the monopoly. c. Calculate the tax revenue. Q.5. (30 Points) In an effort to reduce alcohol consumption, the government is considering a $1 tax on each gallon of liquor sold (the statutory incidence is on producers). Suppose that the demand curve is 𝑄𝐷 = 500,000− 20,000𝑃 where 𝑄𝐷 is the number of gallons of liquor demanded and 𝑃 is the price per gallon. The supply curve is 𝑄𝑆 = 30,000𝑃 and 𝑄𝑆is the number of gallon supplied.
a. Compute price paid by consumers, 𝑃𝑔, and price received by producers, 𝑃𝑛. b. How much revenue does the tax raise for the government? How much of the revenue comes from consumers and how much from producers?

c. Suppose that the demand for liquor is more elastic for younger drinkers that the older drinkers. Will the liquor tax be more, or less, or equally effective at reducing liquor consumption among young drinkers? Explain. d. Draw a graph to illustrate the excess burden of the tax. Calculate excess burden. e. Suppose that each gallon of liquor consumed generates a negative external cost $0.50. How does this effect the excess burden associated with the unit tax on liquor?
Q.6. (30 Points) A pharmaceutical company produces drugs for various types of diseases. Government levies a unit tax on the two drugs sold by the pharmaceutical company. Illustrate the following in a graph for each scenario:
i. initial equilibrium price and quantity in the medicine market, ii. the prices faced by consumers after the tax, iii. the price faced by the pharmaceutical company after the tax, iv. after tax equilibrium quantity bought and sold in the market, v. tax revenue as an area in the graph raised by the government, and vi. excess burden of the tax. a. The demand for a drug of a rare disease is perfectly inelastic while the supply is elastic. b. The demand for an allergy drug is perfectly elastic while the supply is elastic

Critical Thinking

The Chinese company BYD is pursuing electric cars and hopes to become the world’s largest car company. With the financial support of American Warren Buffett, the company, which has only been in existence for a few years mostly making batteries, has caught the attention of not only Mr. Buffett but also many in the auto industry.

ELECTRIC AND HYBRID CARS

Electric cars (also known as electric vehicles or EVs) rely exclusively on battery power. With an all-electric EV there is no internal combustion engine, muffler, gasoline tank, air and fuel filters, and other parts needed to run a gasoline powered system. The vehicle itself also produces no tailpipe emissions, and by getting its power from an efficient utility company, overall, it produces fewer greenhouse gases. This is especially true if the electricity is produced with nuclear power, clean coal, or natural gas. EVs are also less expensive to fuel on a per mile basis. Electric cars, however, have a shorter driving range and are difficult to operate with long distance travel.

There are also some safety concerns associated with using a lithium-ion battery, as lithium is a highly reactive material prone to explosion

1. Do you think electric cars may become a viable alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles? What is the future of the electric car? Explain your answer especially in the context of KSA as Saudi Arabia is moving towards carbon free economy.

• Given a business strategy of being the word leader in manufacturing electric cars with innovative technology, what operations and supply chain strategy do you think BYD should pursue? Identify what operations and supply chain should do to help BYD compete including a mission, objectives, distinctive competence, and key decisions.

Note: Go to the company website and answer the above questions. This is just an advice. You may surf net , company report, Saudi vision 2030 to answer the questions.

SOCIAL ISSUES

Write the first body paragraph for your research paper. This should be the first paragraph after your intro and one that begins to flesh out one of the key points in your overall argument. Keep in mind that this paragraph can change between now and the final draft. I just want to see your progress on the assignment and be able to give you some feedback. You will write an essay in which you examine a social issue, carefully constructing your thesis based on research and astute use of the logos, pathos, and ethos persuasive techniques discussed in class. Try to choose a topic that affects society on a large scale, something that stems from a long-standing debate or has been in the news recently. Thesis statements can be argumentative, informative, or an idea you want the reader to consider
