THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
A village has five residents, each of whom has accumulated savings of $100. Each villager can use the money to buy a government
bond that pays 12% interest per year or to buy a year-old goat, send it onto the commons to graze, and sell it after one year. The price
of the goat that the villager will get at the end of the year depends on the amount of weight it gains while grazing on the commons,
which in turn depends on the number of goats sent onto the commons, as shown in table below.

Answer: 586
Local governments often ask resident voters to approve millages to cover the cost of local services or projects. What are some advantages and disadvantages of funding local services through voter-approved millages? What are the costs and benefits to voters of obtaining the information needed to make an efficient decision? Is the result of a millage vote likely to be efficient in the sense that necessary costs and benefits are taken into account?

Visiting the park is free, and it is visited 210,000 times every year. However, to fund better maintenance of the park, the government wants to make visitors pay $4.70 per visit. Implementing a security system (to prevent visitors from sneaking into the park) will cost $0.50 per visit and $260,000 in annual fixed expenditures. At the same time, maintenance costs are expected to rise by 23%, not including security costs. The number of visits to the park is expected to fall by 34%arrow_forward
