The world bank has already paid 1 million dollars in the past two years to set up a carbon payment fund that can generally be used for these purposes. Will the following investment in this carbon market make sense for the World Bank? A. No because the rate of return is equal to 2.4% B. No, because the opportunity cost of waiting is too high C. Yes, because the ratio of benefits to costs is greater than 3% D. Yes, because the rate of return is equal to 4.0%

The state of Colorado requires oil and gas companies who use fracking techniques to retune the land to its original condition after the oil and gas extractions. Table 12.9 shows the total cost and total benefits (in dollars) of this policy. Calculate the marginal cost and the marginal benefit at each quantity (acre) of land restored. See Production. Costs and Industry Structure if you need a refresher on how to calculate marginal costs and benefits. If we apply marginal analysis, what is the optimal amount of land to be restored?
