72⟩ What are the advantages of leaving resource allocation to price allocation?

The 5 advantages are Neutral, Flexible, Freedom of choice, No administrative cost and lastly Diminished incentives. Distinguish between diminishing returns and diseconomies of scale. Diseconomies of scale I guess means as you produce more it becomes more expensive to produce.

For example, you produce output 1 for $2 but output 2 for $5 thus the second one required $3

Now let us say input for output 1 had to be doubled for input 2. One land gave output 1. Output 2 needed 2 lands. Then there are not diminishing returns.

However, as second land was costing $3 there was diseconomies of scale.

76⟩ How does the current situation in the Middle East affect the US economy?

An interruption in supply and demand and economic warfare, coupled with unfair business practices in the US causes the price of fuel to rise. During the original invasion of Iraq, tanker traffic in the Persian Gulf was drastically cut for fear of losing ships and cargo. This caused a minor shortage of crude oil. OPEC only sales crude, it is refined (distilled) locally. In capitalist free markets, suppliers are allowed to raise prices during shortages, so that they can outbid other consumers when replenishing their crude. Unfortunately, OPEC realized that countries were willing to pay this extra price and refused to lower their price when pre-war supply was restored. OPEC denies this, but the US has captured documents that prove OPEC intentionally inflated prices. Now, because gas prices go up, it costs more for the shipping and trucking companies to do business. A large percentage of what you pay for a gallon of milk comes from the shipping cost of getting it to your grocery.
