The other assistant, Maurice, is skilled at designing logos with pen and paper, but is not very efficient when working on the computer.In the past, Hector had Sasha and Maurice each perform some design and some computer work.

Based on the scenario, recommend which employee should work on which task.

Hector should have his employees specialize so that they can make use of their advantages. Because Sasha has an absolute and comparative advantage when doing computer work, this should be her task. This means that Maurice should spend his time on logo design. By making these changes, Hector will help his employees work more efficiently.

John is selling his pizza for $6 per slice in an area of high demand. However, customers are not buying his pizza. Using what you learned about the principles of equilibrium, write three to four sentences about how John could solve his problem.

John's prices are too high. This is causing excess supply: John's workers can make many pizzas, but at these high prices, consumers are only demanding a small amount. If the price per slice decreased, consumers would demand more of John's pizza. This means that business would move toward a point of equilibrium, where supply matches demand at the appropriate price.

Shifts in demand occur when the price changes or when the number of people trying to buy the good changes. It can also happen when people's tastes change.
