18. A study sponsored by the Food Consumer Safety Board found that consumption of irradiated tomatoes increased the health of laboratory rats. As a result of national press coverage of the report, the demand for irradiated tomatoes increased dramatically. Organic farmers were able to switch from organic production of tomatoes to irradiated production with no additional cost. Assume that the tomato market satisfies all of the assumptions of perfect competition. As a result of the increase in the demand for tomatoes, we would predict that in the short run that the (A) production of tomatoes would be at efficient scale. (B) price of tomatoes would rise. (C) total cost for existing irradiated tomato producers must rise. (D) number of firms in the market would fall as prices fall and firms exit the market.

19. As in question 18, if the increased production of irradiated tomatoes caused a rise in the marginal transportation costs of moving irradiated tomatoes to market, the (A) short-run market supply curve for irradiated tomatoes would be affected but not the long-run market supply. (B) long-run market supply curve for irradiated tomatoes would be perfectly elastic. (C) long-run market supply of irradiated tomatoes would be downward sloping. (D) long-run market supply of irradiated tomatoes would be upward sloping.

20. Abe owns a dog; the dog's barking annoys Abe's neighbor, Jenny. Suppose that the benefit of owning the dog is worth $200 to Abe and that Jenny bears a cost of $400 from the barking.

(B) Abe pays Jenny $350 for her inconvenience. (C) Jenny pays Abe $300 to give the dog to his parents who live on an isolated farm.

22. Contractionary monetary policy (A) leads to disinflation and makes the short-run Phillips curve shift right. (B) leads to disinflation but leave the short-run Phillips curve unchanged. (C) leads to disinflation and makes the short-run Phillips curve shift left. (D) does not lead to disinflation but makes the short-run Phillips curve shift left.

23. If there is a temporary adverse supply shock, then the short-run Phillips curve shifts to the (A) right. It remains to the right regardless of monetary policy. (B) right. It remains to the right if the central bank pursues expansionary monetary policy. (C) left. It remains to the left regardless of monetary policy. (D) left.

Other things the same, if Taiwan residents chose to travel overseas less due to concerns about the safety of foreign travel, then in the open-economy macroeconomic model (A) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will increase, and the equilibrium real exchange rate will increase. (B) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will decrease, and the equilibrium real exchange rate will decrease. (C) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will increase, and the equilibrium real exchange rate may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged. (D) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will decrease, and the equilibrium real exchange rate may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged.

25. Other things the same, if foreign residents desired to purchase more Taiwan rice and Taiwan residents buy more US bonds, then in the open-economy macroeconomic model (A) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will increase, and the equilibrium net export amount will increase. (B) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will increase, and the equilibrium net export amount will decrease. (C) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will decrease, the equilibrium net export amount will increase. (D) the domestic equilibrium real interest rate will decrease, and the equilibrium net export amount will decrease.

26. You eat either apples or oranges every day, and have negatively-sloped demand functions of apples and oranges. If apples are on sales, your demand for (A) apples will increase. (B) apples will decrease. (C) oranges will increase. (D) oranges will decrease.
