Question-
In Parkland County there are three residents: ANDREW, BETH, CATHY. They exercise different amounts and have different marginal benefits for any given size of public park. The marginal benefits for each person are: MBA (A) =6-A/4; MBB (A) =14-A; MBC (A)=15-3A, where subscripts denote each person. The marginal cost of A acres of park is 18.
- Suppose the county government informs the voters that for each unit of A, each person will pay a tax of $6. What would be each person's preferred size of A? What would be the size of A that would result from voting?
- Suppose that the government of Parkland decides that it wants to provide the efficient size of park. Further suppose that the government decides it is now willing to charge different people a different tax to meet this goal. What would be the size of A ? How much will the government charge each person?

- In which of the following situations would the supplier have the greatest power to hurt a business that is its customer? a: The business could use an alternative input mix that uses significantly less of the supplier's product. b: The supplier rents building space to a bakery in a real estate market with a vacancy rate of less than .5%. c: The cost for the business to switch to a different supplier is low. d: The supplier is one of 100 companies selling the input needed by the businessProblem 19-13 There is a road between the suburbs and downtown. The road becomes congested at rush hour. As long as fewer than 100 people use the road at rush hour, the trip takes 30 minutes. When the 101st person enters the road, everyone has to slow down and the trip now takes 31 minutes. People value their time at $6 per hour (i.e., $0.10 per minute) and so a 30 minute trip costs $3. Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. a. The private cost of one of the 100 individuals using the road is $ . The total private cost of 100 people using the road is $ . The total social cost of 100 people using the road is $ . b. The total social cost of 101 people using the road is $ . The private cost of using the road for the 101st individual is $ . The external social cost of the 101st person using the road is $ .These facts are used for questions 1-2.

- If an individual is involved in an activity where their MB > MC, then they will immediately stop their behavior because at this point the activity is is harmful to them. True or False True FalseGraph of TB & TC from Hours Working: The graph below measures the benefits and costs from working, from the perspective of a worker. The variable Q stands for the number of hours the worker works, such that the horizontal axis measures the hours of work per week. On the assumption that they can choose their hours, the worker estimates a total benefit ( TB) from working according to the equation, TB = 1.335Q. (The value "1.335" might be interpreted as the hourly wage paid to the worker.) The worker estimates their total cost from working with the equation, TC = Q(0.463)+Q²(0.027). (The TC of each Q might be interpreted as including the displeasure of effort and exertion from working Q hours.) It can be assumed that TC > TB for all hours beyond point B (32.3).

- Honda Motor Company is considering offering a rebate on its minivan, lowering the vehicle's price from to . The marketing group estimates that this rebate will increase sales over the next year from to vehicles. Suppose Honda's profit margin with the rebate is per vehicle. If the change in sales is the only consequence of this decision, what are its benefits and costs? Is it a good idea?To determine the value of a bridge to members of a community, why is asking them directly not a reliable way of measuring the benefits and costs? Question 11 options: Those who stand to gain have an incentive to tell the truth. Answers to the survey questions relating to cost will always be downwardly biased. Those who stand to lose have an incentive to exaggerate their true costs. Not everyone asked will be using the bridge.A new vaccine offers protection against otitis media. Administering the vaccine to 10,000,000 children under age 5 would reduce otitis media cases from 14,000,000 to 11,000,000. The vaccine costs $100 per patient. What is the cost per case avoided? Round your answer to the nearest unit. Enter a numeric value as a non-numeric value will be converted to 0 thus potentially making your answer wrong.

- QUESTION 2 Tommy is 20 years old. If Tommy quits smoking today, he is expected to gain 10 years in life expectancy through reduced risk of lung cancer. However, that benefit is 50 years away, while the cost of quitting is experienced now. Tommy is quite impatient with a discount rate of 10%. Assuming Tommy places a disutility value of $10,000 on quitting smoking, conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether quitting smoking is worth it to Tommy. Assume 1 year of healthy life is worth $100,000. The net present value of the benefits of quitting is $ benefit (benefit minus cost) is therefore s calculations, both intermediate and final, to whole numbers.) QUESTION 3 The net present value of the cost of quitting is $ .so Tommy does not The net (does/does not) find it worthwhile to quit. (Round allExercise 3. Your software company recently instituted a highly regarded training program for newly hired software developers. The benefits of this program include not only the benefits to employees, but also the goodwill generated by an increase in your reputation among customers and professional groups. The costs of this training program include all of the labor, space, and consultants necessary. Suppose these benefits and costs are given by B(Q) = 100Q2Q² and C(Q) = 100, where Q represents the amount of hours each software developer should spend in training.
