The exam should include 5 pages (counting this cover sheet). If your exam is missing any pages, please raise your hand. 2.
Write your name and UTEID on BOTH the bubble sheet AND the short answer sheet. Write your test form (A, B, or C, as shown above) on the bubble sheet. 3.
For the multiple choice section, answer each question by choosing the single best answer. Mark your chosen answer on your bubble sheet with a #2 pencil. Press firmly and fill in the entire bubble. Light answers will be counted as wrong. Multiple answers will be counted as wrong.
4.
For the short answer section, enter your responses on the short answer sheet. Write your answers inside the box provided for each question. Make sure that your responses are legible and dark enough to be scanned clearly. 5.
Each question is equally weighted. 6.

When you finish, turn in BOTH your bubble sheet AND the short answer sheet. You may keep the rest of the exam. All exams must be turned in by the end of the class period, at 3:15. Late exams will get a score of zero. 8.
You are a good economist. Allocate your time accordingly –

3 THE NEXT THREE QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING SITUATION: Irving, Muktuk, and Roy must divide a muffin, a fish, and a banana. They assign points to each item as follows: Irving: muffin 70, fish 20, banana 10 Muktuk: muffin 70, fish 20, banana 10 Roy: muffin 45, fish 10, banana 45 6.
Which of the following splits is equitable? a)
Irving gets ½ of the muffin and ½ of the fish, Muktuk gets ½ of the muffin and ½ of the fish, and Roy gets the banana. b)
Irving gets ½ of the muffin, Muktuk gets the banana, and Roy gets ½ of the muffin and all of the fish. c)
Irving gets 3/7 of the muffin, Muktuk gets the fish and the banana, and Roy gets 4/7 of the muffin. d)
All of these splits are equitable. e)
None of these splits are equitable. 7.
Which of the following splits is envy free? a)

Irving gets the fish, Roy gets the muffin and the banana. d)
All of these splits are Pareto efficient. e)
None of these splits are Pareto efficient. 9.
The host of a cable news program insists that we should use a social choice procedure that “reflects the will of the people.” That is, it must always satisfy the Always a Winner property, the monotonicity property, the Pareto property, the Condorcet property, and the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives property. The host asks you for a recommendation. What do you suggest? a)
Plurality voting. b)
A hybrid of the Condorcet procedure and the Borda count. c)
Any SCP that satisfies the Pareto property automatically satisfies the other properties. d)
None –
there is no SCP that satisfies all those properties. e)
The Hare system.

Prompt-
Questions 1 through 6 will ask you to consider the market for antibiotics. On November 23, 2022, the New York Times published a story titled “Flu and R.S.V. Hit the Holidays, Heightening Demand for Antibiotics and Antivirals”. You do not have to read the story to understand the setup of these questions. Please, carefully read each question to understand when these changes are introduced into the initial scenario. Here is what you should focus on to complete your analysis.
For this analysis, assume the antibiotic market is perfectly competitive, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward-sloping, and production technology results in traditional U-shaped MC, ATC, and AVC
Finally, for all questions, assume market price is always greater than the minimum of the AVC
You will be using the same graph in all questions that require a graph (Questions 1, 3, and 5), with each question asking you to add new elements to the graph as part of your analysis.

Study the following text and answer the questions below it.
How to Build a One-Match Campfire
Building a campfire that you can light with one match is simple if you follow these easy steps. The first step is to prepare a safe place for your campfire. Clear an area on the ground at least 3 feet wide, and put a circle of stones around it. Second, gather fuel. You will need several sizes of fuel: small twigs, medium sticks, and large sticks. The next step is to build a tepee. Put a handful of twigs in a small pile, and use the small sticks to build a small tepee over the pile. Leave spaces large enough to drop a lighted match through. Next, build a cabin around the tepee using the medium sticks. Fifth, place two large pieces of wood on either side of the cabin, and lay two or three long sticks on top to make a loose roof. The last step is to light a match and drop it through a space in the tepee. Soon you will enjoy the warmth of a nice fire, and your friends will admire…
