i need D,E,F subparts 8. All-Leather is a tanning company located on Lake Michigan in Chicago. Its total cost functionis C(Q.) = 125 + 8QA + 5Q?, where Qa is leather production per week in thousands of pounds.a) If leather sells for $408 per thousand pounds, how much leather will All-Leather produce?How much profit does All-leather earn?Enjoy is a beverage company located on Lake Michigan near All-Leather in Chicago. Enjoy'sproduction of beverages is negatively affected by water pollution from All-Leather's productionof leather. Enjoy's total cost function to produce beverages isC(Q.) = 10Q£ +3Q? + 3Qx? where Qe is Enjoy's weekly production of beverages, in thousandsof gallons and, as above, Qa is All-Leather's weekly production of leather.b) Is this an example of a pecuniary externality or a real externality? Explain.c) What is the extra cost to Enjoy from an additional thousand tons of leather production by All-Leather (i.e., the external marginal cost of an extra unit of Qa produced by All-Leather)?d) What is Enjoy's private marginal cost of production?e) Beverages sell for $310 per thousand gallons. How much beverages would you predict thatEnjoy produces per week?f) How much profit does Enjoy earn in this situation?g) What is the social marginal cost of the production of leather by All-Leather? h) What is the socially optimal level of production of leather by All-Leather?i) Draw a diagram illustrating the logic of your answer in (h).j) If All-Leather produced the amount of leather given in your answer to (h), how much wouldEnjoy choose to produce?k) Given your answer to (h) and (j), how much profit would All-Leather and Enjoy each earn inthat situation?I) Why is it not socially optimal to have no production at all by All-Leather?m) How might the outcome in (h) and (j) be brought about according to Pigou?n) How might the outcome in (f) and (h) be brought about according to Coase if (I) the lawmakes All-Leather legally liable for damages resulting from its pollution, or (II) the law imposesno liability on All-Leather for the consequences of its pollution?o) All-Leather's lawyers argue against reducing its production from the level in part (a) to thelevel in (h) because that would cause job losses for tannery workers. To preserve tannery jobsin Chicago, they state, All-Leather should be allowed to keep producing at the level solved for inpart (a). What is the economic response to that statement in defense of the outcome identifiedin (h), based on a consideration of economic efficiency?

A firm has access to two production processes with the following marginal cost curves: MC1 = 0.25x and MC2 = 6+0.1y, where output in production process 1 is x, output in production process 2 is y and hence total output produced is Q = x+y. Show your work to answer the following questions. (i) If it wants to produce 20 units of output, how much should it produce with each process? (ii) If it wants to produce 38 units of output, how much should it produce with each process? (iii) If it wants to produce 108 units of output, how much should it produce with each process?

4. Smarty’s Dish company manufactures household and commercial satellite dishes according to the production function. C(Q1, Q2) = 100 + 5Q1 + 2Q2 + .5Q1Q2 Where Q1 and Q2 are household and commercial satellite dishes produced in a day, respectively. Suppose Smarty produces 10 household dishes and 8 commercial dishes per day. Should he divide production into separate facilities? Why? a. No. The firm enjoys cost complementarities b. Yes, because the firm does not realize cost complementarities c. No, because even though the firm does not enjoy cost complementarities, it does realize economies of scope at this level of output. d. Yes, because the firm does not enjoy cost complementarities, and it does not realize economies of scope at this level of output.

A company is planning to manufactureand market a new two-slice electric toaster. After conducting extensive market surveys, the research department provides the following estimates: a weekly demand of 200 toasters at a price of $16 per toaster and a weekly demandof 300 toasters at a price of $14 per toaster. The financial department estimates that weekly fixed costs will be $1,400and variable costs (cost per unit) will be $4. a)Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear.

The market for high-quality matsutake mushrooms is dependent on the weather. If the weather is good, one kilogram matsutake mushroom can be sold for $30. In bad weather it sells for only $20 per kilogram. Matsutake mushrooms produced one week will not be kept until the next week, A small matsutake mushrooms producer has a cost function given by C = 0.5q^2 + 5q + 100 where q is weekly matsutake mushrooms production. Production decisions must be made before the weather (and the price of matsutake mushrooms) is known, but it is known that good weather and bad weather each occur with a probability of O.5. How much matsutake mushrooms should this firm produce if it wishes to maximize the expected value of its profits?
