A university considers five different levels of security for their campus, with costs and benefits estimated as in the following table: Total Benefits Per Year (reduction Per Year in the costs of crime) Total Level Costs One $20,000 80,000 Two 30,000 120,000 Three 40,000 140,000 Four 50,000 155,000 Five 60,000 160,000 Based on marginal cost-benefit analysis, the university should undertake Level: O One O Two Four Three

Suppose the City of Oolagah is considering building a new water treatment facility to better address nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff. The plant will cost the city $4 million and take one year to build, after which point it will generate $375,000 per year in health benefits over a 20 year time horizon. a)The city has a discount rate of 6%. Please neatly fill in the table below. Time Benefits Costs Net Benefits Present Value of Net Benefits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 b)What is the Net Present Value of this proposed project? If efficiency was the only objective for making the decision and we have fully accounted for all costs and benefits would you recommend the project go ahead or not? c) Now suppose that the new plan would only generate health benefits for 17 years.

Computer models of global climate changecaused by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere predictnot only higher overall temperatures, but also more intense andfrequent heat waves. During the devastating European heatwave in the summer of 2003, between 35,000 and 52,000“excess deaths” occurred. Before taking specific actions toreduce carbon dioxide emissions, economists and politicians tryto estimate the costs. Should excess deaths be included as acost of inaction? If so, what value should we place on a life?
Problem 19-13 There is a road between the suburbs and downtown. The road becomes congested at rush hour. As long as fewer than 100 people use the road at rush hour, the trip takes 30 minutes. When the 101st person enters the road, everyone has to slow down and the trip now takes 31 minutes. People value their time at $6 per hour (i.e., $0.10 per minute) and so a 30 minute trip costs $3. Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. a. The private cost of one of the 100 individuals using the road is $ . The total private cost of 100 people using the road is $ . The total social cost of 100 people using the road is $ . b. The total social cost of 101 people using the road is $ . The private cost of using the road for the 101st individual is $ . The external social cost of the 101st person using the road is $ .
High-income people are willing to pay more thanlower-income people to avoid the risk of death.For example, they are more likely to pay for safetyfeatures on cars. Do you think cost–benefit analystsshould take this fact into account when evaluatingpublic projects? Consider, for instance, a rich townand a poor town, both of which are considering theinstallation of a traffic light. Should the rich town usea higher dollar value for a human life in making thisdecision? Why or why not?

The above table shows the total costs (TC) in thousands of dollars of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits (TB) of doing so. Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits. a. Using the table, calculate the marginal cost and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for the city. b. What is the optimal level of sewage for the city? How can you tell?

Please solve part d,e and f!!! Three roommates, Jim, Saleem, and Ritesh, are thinking about buying a new speaker system for their apartment. The speaker system would be a public good if they buy them, and the total cost would be $300 which would be shared equally among the three. Jim values it at $80, Saleem values it at $140, and Ritesh values it at $70. If the speakers are purchased each person gets a payoff equal to their net valuation (valuation minus cost share); if they are not purchased each gets zero payoff. a)Is it socially efficient that they buy the speaker system? With reference to the definition of a public good, why or why not? The roommates decide that they will write down their net valuations, and if these reports sum to more than zero, they will buy the TV (sharing the cost equally), or else they will not. b) If all were to report their true valuations, what payoff would each agent earn? c) Show that if Jim and Ritesh submit their true net valuation, then Saleem does…
