 1.There are two local labor markets in a society. Either market has no union. In equilibrium, hourly wage for both markets is $9 and the employment for market 1 and market 2 are 125 and 75, respectively. If workers in market 1 unionize instead, the wage in market 1 becomes $12 by negotiation and 25 workers go out of work (the employment becomes 100). In market 2, labor increases by 25 workers from market 1 (the employment becomes 100) and the wage decreases to $6. Given the information above, the net welfare loss to society will be__________.
2.Suppose that the demand for street parking spaces in Kaohsiung is Q= 140-p. Kaohsiung municipal government prices each street parking space at $20 (p=20) and the supply Q=50.

3.A village has six residents, each of whom has acc cumulated savings of $100. Each villager can use this money either to buy a government bond that pays 15 percent interest per year or to buy a year-old goat, send it onto the common field to graze, and sell it after 1 year. The price the villager gets for the 2-year-old goat depends on the quality of the fleece it grows while grazing on the commons. That in turn depends on the animal's access to grazing, which depends on the number of goats sent to the common filed, as shown in the following table:

The villagers make their investment decisions one after another, and their decisions are public. The village committee votes to auction the right to graze goats on the common field to the highest bidder. Assuming villagers can both borrow and lend at 15 percent annual interest, the right sells for at auction will be
