Environmental Crime and Punishment Economists tend to view the decision by an individual to comply with an environmental law in terms of economic motivations. While good citizenship—obeying the law simply because it is the law—certainly plays a role in affecting behavior, it is also useful to analyze compliance decisions in terms of benefits and costs. Figure 14.3 illustrates a hypothetical marginal cost–marginal benefit analysis for a manager in a coal-fired power plant who has to decide what percentage of the time he or she plans to be in compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission standards on his or her state permit. The benefits that come from complying with environmental laws are essentially the avoided costs of punishment: monetary costs (fines and penalties), a damaged reputation (both for corporations and individuals), and the fear of jail terms. The expected benefits depend on two factors: the magnitude of the punishment if imposed and the likelihood of…

Each is paid the lower of the two numbers, but the person who choosesthe higher number must pay an amount x to the person who chose the lowernumber. In one case, x = 5, while in the other case x = 180. What differencewould you expect between choices with the two values of x?a. Higher choices when x = 5.b. Higher choices when x = 180.c.

1.Use the marginal analysis technique to determine the quantity of organic coconut oil that will maximize net benefits. Present results in table form and highlight the maximizinglevel. 2. Graphically illustrate letter B. Separate the graphs for TB – TC approach, MB = MC rule, and net benefit (maximum). The sequence of the graph: (1) TB – TC approach (topmost graph); (2) net benefit (middle graph); and (3) MB, MC, & MNB (last, 3rd graph). But be sure that the graphs are parallel in X-axis so as to be consistent in the results. (Label your graphs accordingly and appropriately.)

2. You are preparing to market this year's calf crop and want to decide if you would like to precondition your calves this year. If you decided to sell your calves at weaning, you would expect to market them at approximately 425 at price of $1.80 per pound. Alternatively, you have the option to precondition your calves for 45 days in a dry lot, castrate your bulls, and provide a round of vaccinations. You expect that the additional 45 days of feeding will get your calves up to a market weight of 550 pounds. Under normal circumstances, these calves would bring $1.65 per pound at the sale barn, but you also expect that you can charge a 6% preconditioning premium at the time of sale because you are marketing them directly. a. What is the final sale price for the 550 pound preconditioned calves? b. What is the value of gain for the preconditioned calves? c. If your cost of gain over the 45-day preconditioning period is $1.45 what would be your net profit on these calves?
