Lecture: Externality - Pigou8. All-Leather is a tanning company located on Lake Michigan in Chicago. Its total cost functionis C(QA) = 125 + 8QA + 5QA2, 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(QE) = 10QE +3QE2 + 3QA2where 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 AllLeather (i.e., the external marginal cost of an extra unit of QA…
Suppose you run a marketing survey and find you have two types of customers high-value customers willing to pay 16 and low-va consumers willing to pay just 10. Your survey tells you that there are equal numbers of high- and low- value customers. Obviously , have two possible options price high (16) and sell only to the high value group, or price low (10) and sell to everyoneThe costs incurred is 5 per unit and sales only happen to high -value consumers 50 % of the timeWhich price should you choose ? Select the correct response price high price low it depends price both high and low
indicate whether you think the statement is true or false andexplain why. 15. The discounted rate is usually positive.16. When constant marginal cost > 0, marginal net benefit (P-MC) increases at the rate ofinterest.17. Hotelling’s rule states that the dynamically efficient allocation occurs when the presentvalue of the marginal net benefit for the last unit produced is equal across time periods.18. Monopolist over-converse resources from a dynamic efficiency perspective.19. When the growth rate in demand exceeds the discount rate, the efficient outcome in acompetitive industry will result in a larger amount of oil available for the future period thanthe current period.20. Biofuels are a back-stop technology for oil and would cause more present production ofoil
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?
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?

A food manufacturer is trying to maximize profit by selling wheat-based cereal (C) and wheat bread(B) with raw wheat (W). The production functions are: Cereal: C = 30WC – 1.5WC2 Bread: B = 63WB – 2WB2 Constraint: WC + WB = 9,820 Profit is $1.00 per box of cereal and $0.50 per pack of wheat bread. There are 9,820 units of raw wheat available. How much wheat should go to the cereal (WC)? Enter as a value. ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER.
Exercise 3.17 (competitive product market interac- tions). There is a mass 1 of identical entrepreneurs with the variable-investment technology described in Section 3.4. The representative entrepreneur has wealth A, is risk neutral, and is protected by limited liability. Denote the average investment by I and the indi- vidual investment i (in equilibrium i = I by symme- try but we need to distinguish the two in a ﬁrst step in order to compute the competitive equilibrium). A project produces Ri units of goods when successful and 0 when it fails. The probability of success is pH in the case of good behavior (the entrepreneur receives no private beneﬁt) and pL = pH − ∆p in the case of misbehavior (the entrepreneur then receives private beneﬁt Bi). Assume that it is optimal to induce the entrepreneur to behave. The market price of output is P = P(Q), with P' 0, where Q is aggregate production (with P(Q) tend- R ≡ RS…
A6. 1.Adam and Zoey are competing fish and chips sellers in Linear City. They are located at the twoopposing ends of the town’s 3-mile-long Main Street. The 1700 inhabitants of the town are distributeduniformly on Main Street and each of them eats at most one portion of fish and chips for lunch. People’sdisutility from getting to a fish and chips stand and back home amounts to $2 for each mile of distanceto the stand. The marginal cost of producing one portion of fish and chips is $9. The consumers areuniformly distributed along the street. Each consumer has a valuation of $29.0 for the product. Supposethat both Zoey and Adam can advertise at zero cost to inform everyone about their business. Find theequilibrium price of Zoey if neither of the two sellers advertises.
