- Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision making?Studying has both costs and benefits. If you continue tostudy (e.g., for a test) for as long as the marginal benefitsof studying are greater than the marginal costs, and youstop studying when the two are equal, will your actionbe consistent with having maximized the net benefits ofstudying? Explain your answer.4.Explain why opportunity cost is the best forgone alternative and provide examples ofsomeopportunity costs that you have faced today.
- What are the usual steps in Benefit – Cost Analysis? a) Try to figure out what result or conclusion you want, and then set the assumptions to make sure the analysis produces that result. b) Identify the potential benefits and figure out a way to valuate them. c) Identify the potential costs and valuate them. d) Dismiss those benefits and costs to which you cannot assign a numerical value e) Estimate the probability of each of the benefits and costs actually materializing or occurring. f) Mulltiply the value of costs and benefits by their respective probabilities to arrive at the "mathematical expectation" or "mathematically expected" value. g) For costs and benefits expected in the future, especially distant future, discount their value to the present time, using a "reasonable" discounting rate.Intermediate MicroeconomicsProblem Set 10.Submission options:⢠in person during lectures or TA sessions;⢠in Xiaoye Liaoâs mail box at 19 West 4th, 6th Floor;⢠(less recommended) e-mail Xiaoye Liao atxl775@nyu.eduâ in that case, be sure to use the subject line: âSubmission Problem Set 10â.Exercise 1Consider a game of rock-scissor-paper.
