Answer to Question 1

The partial derivatives of the equilibrium price and quantity with respect to r:
p/r = -.1
Q/r = 10
An incremental increase in rainfall will decrease price by .10 and increase quantity by 10 units of wheat.
The partial derivatives of the equilibrium price and quantity with respect to I:
p/I = -.05
Q/I = 5
An incremental increase in consumer disposable income will decrease price by .05 and increase quantity of wheat by five units.

Answer to Question 2

B
