Consider a small town with only three families, the Greene family, the Brown family, and the Black family. The town does not currently have any streetlights so it is very dark at night. The three families are considering putting in streetlights on Main Street and are trying to determine how many lights to install. The table below shows each family’s willingness to pay for each streetlight. Number ofStreetlights The Greene Family The Brown Family The Black Family 1 $340 $480 $420 2 260 380 400 3 160 260 340 4 40 130 240 5 0 50 100 6 0 0 20 Refer to Table 11-2. Suppose the cost to install each streetlight is $360 and the families have agreed to split the cost of installing the streetlights equally. If the residents choose to install the number of streetlights that will maximize total surplus from the streetlights, how much total surplus will the Greene family receive? a. -$80 b. $360 c. $320…

EOC 11.04 Two businesses, X and Y, each dump 20 tonnes of pollution into a creek. In an effort to reduce pollution, the government will now require businesses to have a pollution permit to dump pollutants in the creek. Each business receives 10 pollution permits and they can use it to pollute or sell it to the other business (but lose the ability to pollute). To reduce pollution it costs business X $100 per tonne of pollutant eliminated and it costs business Y $50 per tonne of pollutant eliminated. Once the two businesses have traded these permits with each other, what is the likely outcome? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a business X emits 10 tonnes of pollutants and business Y emits 10 tonnes of pollutants. b business X no longer pollutes, and business Y will not lower the amount it pollutes. business X raises its pollution, and business Y will lower how much it pollutes. business Y no longer pollutes, and…
