Brad is an old mechanic on the street, and he can make Cars and Trucks. He gets paid by the hour, but he has a set number of hours available for work when he is building Cars and/or Trucks. In this case, Brad has 5 total hours of work. Each hour of working can produce either 3 Cars or 1 Truck. With that said, Brad has attained quite a great age, and as a result, he has a constraint in his CAR production abilities. Specifically, Brad has to sit down and take his arthritis medication and relax for 1 hour (rest period) after he spends/allocates the first 2 hours producing CARS. This break of rest for his medication is included as a part of Brad's 5-hour workday. As a result, if Brad chooses to work more than 2 hours for the production of CARS (because he loves his work so much), he has to allocate/spend 1 of his total 5 working hours to taking a break to sit down and take his medication. Additionally, Brad trades his Cars and Trucks with outside market merchants so he can earn money to…

wo firms, A and B, each currently dump 50 tonnes of chemicals into the local river. The government has decided to reduce the pollution and from now on will require a pollution permit for each tonne of pollution dumped into the river. It costs Firm A $100 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river, and it costs Firm B $50 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river. The government gives each firm 20 pollution permits. Government officials are not sure whether to allow the firms to buy or sell the pollution permits to each other. What is the total cost of reducing pollution if the firms are NOT allowed to buy and sell pollution permits from each other, and what is the total cost of reducing pollution if the firms ARE allowed to buy and sell permits from each other? A. $4500; $2500 B. $3000; $1500 C. $4500; $3500 D. $4500; $4000
15. Talk about the two fundamental hypothetical perspectives on the beginnings of human forceful conduct.
Four firms called Elm, Maple, Oak, and Cherry, produce wooden chairs. However, they also produce a great deal of garbage (a mixture of glue, varnish, sandpaper, and wood scraps). The first row of the table below shows the total amount of garbage (in tons) that each firm currently produces. The other rows of the table show the cost of reducing garbage produced by the first five tons, the second five tons, and so on. Elm Maple Oak Cherry Current production of garbage (in tons) 20 40 60 80 Cost of reducing garbage by first five tons $5,500 $6,300 $7,200 $3,000 Cost of reducing garbage by second five tons $6,000 $7,200 $7,500 $4,000 Cost of reducing garbage by third five tons $6,500 $8,100 $7,800 $5,000 Cost of reducing garbage by fouth five tons $7,000 $9,000 $8,100 $6,000 Cost of reducing garbage by fifth five tons $0 $9,900 $8,400 $7,000 Calculate the cost of requiring the Maple firm to reduce the weight of its garbage by one-fourth.

HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?
