PROBLEM You own a firm that offers organlc coconut oil. Your objective is to determine the number of coconut oil to be produced each month in order to maximize revenues. The table below shows the total benefits (revenues) and costs of producing various volumes of coconut oll (.

Use the marginal analysis technique to determine the quantity of organic coconut oil that will maximize net benefils. Present results in lable form and highlight the maximizing level. (. 2. Graphically illustrate letter B. Separate the graphs for TB – TC approach, MB = MC rule, and net benefit (maximum). The sequence of the graph: (1) TB - TC approach (topmost graph); (2) net benefit (middle graph); and (3) MB, MC, & MNB (last, 3rd graph). But be sure that the graphs are parallel in X-axis so as to…

A firm has a marginal emissions benefit of 100-0.5*E in each of 2 years, where E measures emissions in tons. The marginal cost of emissions to society is 75/ton. The discount rate is 10% and the marginal cost of emissions also grows at 10% per year. The government decides to give the firm permits to emit 50 tons of emissions per year, but allows the firm to "bank" or "borrow" permits across the two years so that this effectively acts as a 100 ton cap on emissions over 2 years. How much will the firm emit in each year? If all firms are identical to the one you analyze here, is the government issuing too many or too few emission permits relative to the efficient level? How do you know?
2. A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or SiteB. After sorting, some of the solid wastes will be transported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of solid wastes from each site to the power plant are shown in Table below. Average hauling distance Yearly rental fee for solid - SITE A 4 kilometers P5,000 SITE B 3 kilometers P100,000 waste site Hauling Cost P1.50 per m - km P1.50 per m - I n° - km If the power plant will pay P8.00 per m of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city's viewpoint and assume that 200,000 m of wastes will be hauled to the plant for one year only. What site must be selected? Show your computation and defend your answer. (20 points)

The government allows sulphur dioxide emissions of 4 parts per billion and has a tradable permits program. The 2 firms in the market pollute at a rate of 5 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion respectively. The 2 firms have the following costs to reduce emissions. The least expensive way to reach the government’s mandate is: Reduction of Sulphur Dioxide Cost - Firm 1 Cost - Firm 2 By 1 part per billion $200,000/year $80,000/year By 2 parts per billion $420,000/year $200,000/year By 3 parts per billion $700,000/year $340,000/year By 4 parts per billion $1,200,000/year $650,000/year Group of answer choices $400,000. $200,000. $340,000.
what is the relationship between CO2 emission and transportation cost?
Draw a diagram of the marginal abatement cost curve described by: MAC = 100 - 2E. What is the uncontrolled level of emissions? What is the marginal abatement cost of the 40thunit of abatement? What is the total abatement cost of 40 units of abatement?
A competitive industry has production processes that generate pollution. okay with studies carried out on the affected population, the marginal costs associated with contamination are constant and 500 u.m. for each unit of the good produced. These costs are associated with lost working days, illness treatment costs and the nuisance generated in the population. Currently the production level of the industry is 250 units and the market price is 1500 (um/unit). Market studies carried out by the firms estimate that if the price rises at 1,800 (mu/unit) the quantity demanded would drop to 200 units and the marginal cost of production of each firm at this new production level is 1,300 (m.u./unit). assume linearity in market demand and in the marginal costs of production of the firms. Graph to justify your answers. b)Graphically indicate and determine the magnitude of the social cost of the situation with a production level of 250 units.
