A developer owns a piece of beachfront land that she intends to developfor residential use. The private returns to the developer are as follows:Return if developed: $50,000Return if undeveloped: $10,000Suppose that three nearby residents would sustain damages from beacherosion if the land is developed. Their damages would be as follows:Resident 1: $20,000Resident 2: $15,000Resident 3: $10,000a.) Is it efficient for the land to be developed?b.) Suppose that the developer has property rule protection of herright to develop. If bargaining costs between the developer and theresidents are zero, describe the likely outcome.c.) How does your answer to part (b) change if it costs the threeresidents a total of $10,000 to organize and act collectively?d.) How can the government use its regulatory authority toovercome the problem of high bargaining costs?e.) What amount of compensation should the developer receive ifshe is prohibited from developing the land and if the development ban isconstrued to be a taking?

Lynn and Jack jointly own shares of stock of a corporation, have a joint bank account, and have purchased and own as tenants in common a piece of real estate. They share equally the dividends paid on the stock, the interest on the bank account, and the rent from the real estate. Without Lynn’s knowledge, Jack makes a trip to inspect the real estate and on his way runs over Samuel. Samuel sues Lynn and Jack for his personal injuries, joining Lynn as defendant on the theory that Lynn was Jack’s partner. Is Lynn a partner of Jack? Explain.

A local energy provider offers a landowner $180,000 for the exploration rights to natural gas on a certain site and the option for future development. This option, if exercised, is worth an additional $1,800,000 to the landowner, but this will occur only if natural gas is discovered during the exploration phase. The landowner, believing that the energy company’s interest in the site is a good indication that gas is present, is tempted to develop the field herself. To do so, she must contract with local experts in natural gas exploration and development. The initial cost for such a contract is $300,000, which is lost forever if no gas is found on the site. If gas is discovered, however, the landowner expects to earn a net profit of $6,000,000. The landowner estimates the probability of finding gas on this site to be 60%. a. Use PrecisionTree to identify the strategy that maximizes the landowner’s expected net earnings from this opportunity. b. Perform a sensitivity analysis on the…

Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies? Determine the probability of a composition shingle roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ Determine the probability of a shake roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ How many claims are made out of 10,000? = _______ What is the probability of no claims out of 10,000? = _______ How much does each shingle roof claim cost the company, don’t forget each person pays $150…

A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consultingtrips to Washington, D.C.; 50% of the time shetravels on airline #1, 30% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3. For airline#1, flights are late into D.C. 30% of the time and late intoL.A. 10% of the time. For airline #2, these percentagesare 25% and 20%, whereas for airline #3 the percentagesare 40% and 25%. If we learn that on a particular trip shearrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, whatare the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines#1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival inL.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C.[Hint: From the tip of each first-generation branch on atree diagram, draw three second-generation brancheslabeled, respectively, 0 late, 1 late, and 2 late.]
Sharp Outfits is trying to decide whether to ship some customer orders now via UPS or wait until after the threat of another UPS strike is over. If Sharp Outfits decides to ship the requested merchandise now andthe UPS strike takes place, the company will incur $60,000 in delay and shipping costs. If Sharp Outfits decides to ship the customer orders via UPS and no strike occurs, the company will incur $4000 in ship-ping costs. If Sharp Outfits decides to postpone shipping its customer orders via UPS, the company will incur $10,000 in delay costs regardless of whether UPS goes on strike. Let p represent the probabilitythat UPS will go on strike and impact Sharp Outfits’s shipments.a. For which values of p, if any, does Sharp Outfits minimize its expected total cost by choosing to postpone shipping its customer orders via UPS? b. Suppose now that, at a cost of $1000, Sharp Outfits can purchase information regarding the likelihood of a UPS strike in the near future. Based on similar…

A couple hires a typist to prepare invitations for their upcoming wedding. However, due to budget constraints, they end up underpaying the typist. Each invitation consists of an elegant card indicating the guest’s name, and an envelope that also has the guest’s name written on it. On the day that the typist was to receive her pay, both cards and envelopes have already been (separately) prepared, and the only remaining work was for her to put the cards in their respective envelopes. Disappointed with being shortchanged, she decides to put the cards into random envelopes. Assuming the typist did not intentionally put the cards into the wrong envelopes, and for each card was blindly choosing any random envelope (say, with eyes closed), on average how many cards are put into the right envelope? (Hint: assume ? is the number of guests. Take a variable ? where ? = 1 for a card that is put into the right envelope, and ? = 0 if not. The problem can be simplified by…
