Jolie grows asparagus for a living. Her asparagus beds, fertilized with manure, are extraordinarily productive. When Jolie tends five beds, her profits are $3,000. When Jolie expands her operation to six beds, she earns $3,600. Next door, Maddox runs a tea shop. When Jolie tends five beds of asparagus, Maddox's customers can't detect the smell of manure from Jolie's beds, and Maddox earns $1,200. When Jolie tends six beds, the smell of manure is noticeable, and Maddox's profits fall to $800. Suppose the law states that anyone using manure for fertilizer may not use so much that it bothers his or her neighbors. What is the size of the economic pie when Jolie tends five beds? What is the size of the economic pie when Jolie tends six beds? The benevolent social planner would like to see Jolie keep beds. Assume bargaining between Jolie and Maddox is easy, and Jolie wants to keep six beds. In order to get Maddox to agree to a bargain, Jolie needs to offer him any amount between for his losses. The benevolent social planner endorse this bargain.

Amathematical approximation called the rule of 70 tells us that the number of years that it will take something that is growing to double in size is approximately equal to the number 70 divided by its percentage rate of growth. thus, if mexico's real gdp per person is growing at 7 percent per year, it will take about 10 years(=70/7) to double. apply the rule of 70 to solve the following problem. real gdp per person in mexico in 2005 was about $11,000 per person, while it was about $44,000 per person in the u.s. if real gdp per person in mexico grows at the rate of 5 percent per year: how long will it take mexico's real gdp per person to reach the level that the united states was at in 2005? (hint: how many times would mexico's 2005 real gdp per person have to double to reach the u.s.'s 2005 real gdp per person?
