- The demand and supply function for a bridge are the following where C is cost in cents and V is volume in veh / h . Demand V = 1500 - 10C Supply or cost function: C = 120 + 0.5V (a) What is the equilibrium volume of traffic and the associated cost? (b) 20 cents of toll is added to the cost function, what will be the new cost function and the equilibrium volume?A toll bridge carries 6000 vch/day The current toll is $3.50/vehicle. Studies have shown hat for each increase in toll of 50 cents, the traffic volume will decrease by 500 veh/day. Jus desired to increase the toll to a point where revenue will be maximized. (a) Write the expression for travel demand on the bridge, related to toll increase and current volume. (b) Determine the toll charge to maximize revenbes. (o Determine traffic in vel/day after the loll increase, (d) Determine the total revente increase with the new tol.A city engineer has estimated the annual toll revenues from a proposed highway construction project over 20 years as follows: An = ($2,000,000)(n)(l.06)n-1 n = 1.2 .... ,20.To determine the amount of debt financing through bonds, the engineer was asked to present the estimated total present value of toll revenue at an interest rate of 6%. Assuming annual compounding, find the present value of the estimated toll revenue.
- A toll bridge carries 5000 veh/day. the current tol is 50 cents. When the toll is increased by P0. 25. Traffic volume decreases by 5000 veh/day. Det. the additional amount of toll that should be charged such that the revenue is maximized.7. A toll bridge from Manila to Lapu-Lapu City carries 4000 vehicles per day. The present toll fee is P2.30. When the toll fee is increased by PO.20, traffic volume will decrease by 400 vehicles per day. It is desired to increase the toll fee to a point where revenue will be maximized. Determine the toll change to maximize revenue.A bridge has been constructed between the mainland and an island. The total cost (excluding tolls) to travel across the bridge is expressed as C- 50 + 0.5V, where V is the number of veh/hr and Cis the cost/vehicle in cents. The demand for travel across the bridge is V- 2500 - 10C. (a) Determine the volume of traffic across the bridge. (b) If a toll of 25 cents is added, what is the volume across the bridge? What volume would be expected with a 50 cent increase? 155 (c) A tollbooth is to be added, thus reducing the travel time to cross the bridge. The new cost function is C- 50 + 0.2V. Determine the volume of traffic that would cross the bridge. (d) Determine the toll to yield the highest revenue for demand and supply function in part (a), and the associated demand and revenue

Duermincshelutal revenue increase with new tallAn existing toll road has an average traffic volume around 6,000 vehicles per day. A project is proposed to widen the toll road to increase the road capacity. It is projected that the traffic volume would increase to 10,000 vehicles if the toll rate is reduced from $5 to $4 per vehicle. Assume that the toll rate is the only factor affecting the traffic volume on the toll road. a) Determine the impact of the toll change on consumer surplus. b) Calculate the point elasticity of demand for the toll road. c) Calculate the arc elasticity of demand for the toll road.A bridge has been constructed between the mainland and an island. The total cost (excludingtolls) to travel across the bridge is expressed as C = 50 + 0.5V, where V is the number ofveh/hr and C is the cost/veh in pesos. The demand for travel across the bridge is V = 2500 −10C.a. Determine the volume of traffic across the bridge.b. If a toll of 25 pesos is added, what is the volume across the bridge?c. A tollbooth is to be added, thus reducing the travel time to cross the bridge. The new costfunction is C = 50 + 0.2V. Determine the volume of traffic that would cross the bridge.
