Biography

As a sophomore economics major and chemistry minor, I'm passionate about environmental sustainability. Because I'm building a background in both the social and natural sciences to better tackle this issue, I have succeeded in college-level courses in general and organic chemistry, calculus, and economics and am prepared to provide assistance for a wide range of subjects. I love tutoring because it allows me to share my love for these subjects and reinforce my own learning by explaining concepts to others. As a chemistry teaching assistant, I've worked one-on-one with a semester-long tutee and also led a group of 10+ students asking questions during office hours. Before the coronavirus outbreak, I also really enjoyed tutoring a refugee family new to the Pittsburgh area in English once a week to help them adjust to life in America. I'm excited about this opportunity because it would allow me to further develop my teaching skills so I can better serve my students.

Table 3.9 illustrates the market's demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the
equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations:
a. The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price.
b. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20$\%$ at
every price.

Mary and Raj are the only two growers who provide organically grown corn to a local grocery store.
They know that if they cooperated and produced less corn, they could raise the price of the corn. If they work independently, they will each earn $\$ 100$ . If they decide to work together and both lower their output, and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $\$ 0$ and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn $\$ 200$ . Table 10.6 represents the choices available to Mary and Raj. What is the bestchoice for Raj if he is sure that Mary will cooperate? If Mary thinks Raj will cheat, what should Mary do and why? What is the prisoner's dilemma result? What is the preferred choice if they could ensure cooperation? A $=$ Work independently; $\mathrm{B}=$ Cooperate and Lower Output. (Each results entry lists Raj's earnings first, and Mary's
earnings second.)
