- 1. Suppose that a polluting activity has marginal damage and marginal abatement costs given by MD=2E and MAC = 210 - 3E, respectively. Suppose that the polluter(s) are held liable for damages. (a) What level of emissions will be chosen by polluters. (b) Compute the amount of damages (compensation) that will be paid by polluters and the total of all costs paid by polluters. (c) Compute the social gains from instituting legal liability, relative to the no-abatement outcome.arrow_forward1. Suppose Brazos County is considering preserving certain miles of Navasota River, but they have no clue how many miles of the river they should preserve. The county officials are seeking advice from a bright environmental economist. They contacted you for help. Suppose marginal benefit for preserving the river is given by P = 10 - ½ q and marginal costs are 2 + ½ q. You are asked to answer the following questions for the country office. Show the work. a) What is the net benefit of preserving six miles of the river? b) What is the benefit/cost ratio of preserving six miles of the river? c) How many miles of Navasota River should the Brazos County preserve?

To examine its behavior toward competitors, suppose that Tesla produces q₁ and it incurs a cost of c₁ (91) = 69₁. ACME Corporation produces a self-driving car that is a perfect substitute for the Tesla vehicle, but its production costs are: c₂ (92) = 100+1292. Inverse demand for self-driving cars is given by p(Q) = 120-Q, where Q = 9₁ +92arrow_forwardQ6 The demand and supply functions for two interdependent commodities are given by: Qp, = 120 – 2P, + P;; Qs, = -7 + 7P, Qp, = 168 + 3P, – 7P;; Qs, = -3 + 20P, %3D (a) Explain whether these goods are complementary or substitutable.
