QUESTION 1 Which of the following will occur if the government attempts to keep the price of a product below its market-clearing price? O Sellers will not offer as much of the good for sale as buyers would like to buy resulting in a shortage of the good. O Sellers will offer more of the good for sale than buyers wish to purchase resulting in a surplus of the good. O Consumers will be made much better off because they will be able to buy all of the good that they want at a lower pric O Sellers will eventually make them available free for everyone.

Many states are now imposing severance taxes on resources being extracted within their borders. How is an increasing marginal extraction cost (over time) of depeletable resource by the imposition of severance taxes compared to the case without taxes? A. Marginal extraction cost increases due to the imposition of severance taxes B. Marginal extraction cost decreases due to the imposition of severance taxes C. Marginal extraction cost with severance taxes stays the same as the case without taxes
Question 6. You are asked to evaluate a mining project with costs in the developmental stage followed by benefits in the production stage and ending with significant costs at the end of the study period for reclamation of the land to its original state. You have determined that the project has two positive IRRs. a. Summarize a strategy for modifying the CB C cash flow pattern into a simpler CB cash flow pattern with just one IRR solution and a straightforward decision rule. b. Ilustrate your strategy with the following example: Capital cost at t-0 is $70 million; Constant benefits of $40 million in years 1-5; Year 6 reclamation cost of S140 million; Appropriate MARR = 20%. Set up the cash flow diagram, but do not solve for IRR.
E1 Prior to the expansion, the Fountainbleau profits were $60m and the Eden Roc's profits were $25m. If the Fontainebleau completes the highrise expansion, their profits will increase by A. If the expansion is built and Eden Roc makes no changes, Eden Roc's profits will fall by B from the shadow cast on its pool area. Eden Roc can convert the shaded region of their property to a nightclub (which is unaffected by any shadow). In that case, Eden Roc will earn a total profit of C. Alternatively, the Fountainblue can demolish the expansion and instead put in two story condominiums which will not interfere with Eden Roc's sunlight, but then will only increase profit by D. Suppose that Eden Roc loses the lawsuit, and Fountainebleau is permitted to complete construction as it chooses. A) What will each party choose to do in the absence of bargaining? B) What will be the threat values? C) What is the cooperative surplus from bargaining? Enter zero if there is no cooperative surplus to…
You have a project with the net cash flow summarized below. The project is not suitable for direct reinvestment, so incoming revenue will be placed into an external account that yields 2.5%. (The "External Reinvestment Rate" is 2.5%). What is the ERR for this project? (Provide your answers in digits only with 2 decimal places. No comas or pesos or percent.)

Assume you own a copper mine. The mine has total known reserves of 500 (million metric tons). The market demand for the copper is estimated to be: P = -1.75Q + 1000 and the marginal cost curve is estimated to be: P = 1.25Q + 100. What is the efficient quantity of copper to extract if you need only consider the current period in your decision making? Assume you need to consider allocation of the mine’s resources across two periods of time—the present and the future. Assume the “future” period is 10 years from the present and you use a discount rate 7.5%. What would be the efficient (inter-temporal) allocation of the mine’s resources in each period? What would be the price in each period if demand is constant across time?
Assume r = 0.1 is the present real interest rate and this rate is expected to prevail for the next 2 years. The monetary return (i.e. marginal revenue product) on machine A is expected to be R1 = $100,000 for year 1 and R2 = $50,000 for year 2. The present discounted value (PDV) of the net revenue flow from machine A to its owner is equal to ???
Burlington Motor Carriers, a trucking company, is considering the installation of a two-way mobile satellite messaging service on its 2,000 trucks. From tests done last year on 120 trucks, the company found that satellite messaging could cut 60% of its $5 million bill for long-distance communications with truck drivers. More importantly, the drivers who used this system reduced the number of "deadhead" miles-those driven without paying loads-by 0.5%. Applying that improvement to all 230 million miles covered by the Burlington fleet each year would produce an extra $1.25 million in savings. Equipping all 2,000 trucks with the satellite hookup will require an investment of $8 million and the construction of a message-relaying system costing $2 million. The equipment and onboard devices will have a service life of eight years and negligible salvage value; they will be depreciated under the five-year MACRS class. Burlington's marginal tax rate is about 38%, and its required minimum…
Cobb-Douglas production function Q = Lβ1Fβ2Bβ3 Where L = labour input in worker hours F = fuel input in gallons B = capital input in number of buses Q = output measured in millions of bus miles Suppose that the parameters (α, β1, β2 and β3) of this model were estimate using annual data for the past 25 years. The following results were obtained: β1 = 0.45, β2 = 0.20 and β3 = 0.30 Suppose that capital input (number of buses) is decreased by 3 percent next year (which, certain older buses are taken out of service). Assuming that the other inputs are held constant, determine the approximate percentage change in output. What type of returns to scale appears to characterize the transportation system (ignore the issue of statistical significance)? Discuss some of the methodological and measurement problems one might encounter in using time-series data to estimate the parameters of this model.
