There are two polluters in an industry with the following cost functions: MAC1 = 182 - 0.14E1 MAC2 = 144 - 0.06E2 The government establishes a tradable pollution permit system and gives each polluter 800 permits (1600 permits in total). What will be the net gain for Polluter 1 from the trade?

Researchers in Westland and Eastland are developing better treatments for lycanthropy, which afflicts no other region in the world. Inhabitants of both countries benefit from better treatments regardless of which country conducts the research. The country specific marginal benefit from the research differs, however, due to differing prevalence of the disease as well as different trade-offs with respect to other potential uses of resources. In Westland the marginal benefit at Q researcher-years is P d W (Q) = 96 − 12Q and in Eastland P d E(Q) = 60 − 10Q, where the benefit is measured in Large Monetary Units (LMU). The cost of a researcher-year is a constant 20 LMUs in both countries. (a) What is the efficient amount of research? (b) Suppose one of the countries jumps ahead and commits to provide exactly half of the efficient amount in part 3a. Taking this as given, how much will the other country then provide? Consider both cases of either Westland or Eastland being the first mover. (c)…
Out of 10000 people in a community, each is willing to pay Ksh 10 for each well dug. The cost of digging the wall is is given by C= Q2+20Q. Calculate the pareto efficiecy number of wells to be dug. If the government want to dug the well at a minimal cost, how many walls will it dig and how much will it spen if the projet is given to a private, profit making organization, how many well would the firm dig?

The travel time (t) on the segment of a highway connecting city A with city Bhas been observed to follow the equation below, as a function of traffic flow(v): t = 15 + 0.02v, where t and v are measured in minutes and vehicles perhour, respectively. The demand function for travel connecting the two cities isv = 3500 – 120t.a) Determine the equilibrium time and traffic flow.b) If the length of the highway segment is 30 kilometres, what is the averagespeed of vehicles traversing this segment at equilibrium conditions?
Student Enterprises sells two sizes of wall posters, a large 3- by 4-foot poster and a smaller 2- by 3-foot poster. The profit earned from the sale of each large poster is $3; each smaller poster earns $2. The firm, although profitable, is not large; it consists of one art student, Jan Meising, at the University of Kentucky. Because of her classroom schedule, Jan has the following weekly constraints: (1) up to three large posters can be sold, (2) up to five smaller posters can be sold, and (3) up to 10 hours can be spent on posters during the week, with each large poster requiring 2 hours of work and each smaller one taking 1 hour. With the semester almost over, Jan plans on taking a 3-month summer vacation to England and doesn’t want to leave any unfinished posters behind. Find the integer solution that will maximize her profit.
The Acmeville Metropolitan Bus Service currently charges $0.99 for an all-day ticket and is used by an average of 623 riders a day. The bus company is not earning a profit, but according to their contract with the city, they cannot cut the number of buses on the road. They must, therefore, find a way to increase revenues The bus company is considering increasing the ticket price to $1.21. The marketing department's studies indicate this price increase would reduce usage to 473 riders per day. Calculate the price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method for bus tickets to determine if the bus company should increase price or decrease price to increase revenues. Enter your answer as an absolute value and round it to two places after the decimal price elasticity of demand: Determine if demand is elastic or inelastic and what this implies regarding how ticket prices affect revenue Demand is inelastic, so decreasing ticket prices will increase revenue Demand is inelastic, so…
Wild West produces two types of cowboy hats. A Type 1 hat requires three times as much labor time as a Type 2. If all the available labor time is dedicated to Type 2 alone, the company can produce a total of 600 Type 2 hats a day. The respective market limits for Type 1 and Type 2 are 150 and 300 hats per day, respectively. The profit is $8 per Type 1 hat and $5 per Type 2 hat. Determine the maximum profit.

Save The market price of insecticide is initially $10 per unit. To address a negative externality in this market, the government decides to charge producers of insecticide for the privilege of polluting during the production K process. A fee that fully takes into account the social costs of pollution is determined, and once it is put into effect, the market supply curve for insecticide shifts upward by $8 per unit. The market price of insecticide also increases, to $12 per unit. What fee is the government charging insecticide manufacturers? $ (Enter a numeric response using an integer.)
