- 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?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.

- Problem 1. During your first month as an employee at Greenfield Industries (a large drill-bitmanufacturer), you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on aturning machine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previous employeewho could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information: An old turningmachine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for the new drill bit.The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, and they assureyou that they will have the machine ready before the projected start date (although they havenever done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the old turning machine will be able tomeet production requirements at full capacity. An outside company, McDonald Inc., made themachine seven years ago and can easily do the…to treat a sore back Kyoko undertakes a course of physical therapy.Kyoko's marginal benefit from her first physical therapy session is $250 from her second its $225 , from her third its $175 anf from her its $100. physical threapy sessins cost $175 each. assuming kyoko's final physical threapy session will earn her zero consumer surpus, kyoko will have _ physical threapy sessions and her total consumer surpus will be_ A .four, $0 B. three, $100 c. four, $125 d. three, $125a) Describe, in general, the flow of the decision-making process in economic engineering. b) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity corresponding to a scenario with a demand curve represented by Cd = 1600 - 30Pb and a supply curve represented by Co = 1400 + 70Pb. c) Calculate the new quantities supplied and demanded for the scenario of letter 'b', assuming a 10% increase in the equilibrium price found above.
- Imagine a scenic canyon, visited by many local people as well as tourists from beyondthe local area. Consider a scenario in which a mining company has proposed to the localauthority that it be closed to the public and put into the production of coal. Thinking interms of economics as a way of adjudicating the relative value of one use of the canyon overthe other, what would you need to know in order to make a comparison or assessment?What kinds of quantitative data would inform your decision, and where might they comefrom? What kinds of things might you need to know that are hard to measure? Once youhave listed the kinds of information and data that might be available to inform this decision, do you think it would be sufficient to making this decision, why or why not?The marginal benefit of being able to emit a ton of sulphur dioxide emissions for twofirms are given by:MBX = 320 – ( Ex / 3 )MBY = 500 – ( Ey / 2 )Note that these marginal benefit figures can be interpreted as marginal cost of abatingemission down to levels Ex and Ey.Government regulators want to reduce total sulfur dioxide emissions to a total of 1200tons.a) If the government imposes the same standard of 600 tons maximum emissions onboth firms what would be the total cost of abatement (calculated as the aggregatedmarginal benefits forgone)?b) If the government distributed 600 tradable pollution permits to each firm whatwould be the final allocation of these permits after the firms trade them? Whatwould be the total cost of abatement in this latter case?Rick buys an old Mustang for $3,000, planning to restore and sell the car. He goes on to spend $9,000 restoring the car. At this point, he can sell the car for $10,000. As an alternative, he can spend an additional $3,000 replacing the engine. With a new engine, the car would sell for $13,000. Rick should O a. complete the repairs and sell the car for $13,000. O b. be indifferent between (i) selling the car now and (ii) replacing the engine and then selling it. O c. sell the car now for $10,000. O d. keep the car as it would not be rational to carry out the renovation.
- Case: Despite 2015 Paris agreement, global carbon emissions increased 1.7 percent in 2017 and a further 2.7 percent in 2018; it has been estimated that the rate of increase in 2019 will be among the highest on record. The last four years have been the hottest on record, with 2019 on track to make it five. But analyses suggest that fast action now can reduce carbon emissions within 12 years and hold global increases below 2 degrees C and perhaps 1.5. Even though carbon emissions in The Gambia, Morocco and India are expected to rise, they’ll fall short of exceeding the 1.5-degree Celsius limit. But some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and United States, are not trying hard enough. a. Explain the inefficiency in this case! Use graphics b. Why can't this problem be solved through market mechanisms as in private goods? c. Give possible public (global) solutions and private (global) solutions to this and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each.Two important industries on the island of Bermuda are fishing and tourism.According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nationsand the Bermuda Department of Statistics, in 2009 the 306 registered fishermen inBermuda caught 387 metric tons of marine fish. And the 2,719 people employed byhotels produced 554,400 hotel stays (measured by the number of visitor arrivals).Suppose that this production point is efficient in production. Assume also that theopportunity cost of 1 additional metric ton of fish is 2,000 hotel stays and that thisopportunity cost is constant (the opportunity cost does not change).a. If all 306 registered fishermen were to be employed by hotels (in addition to the2,719 people already working in hotels), how many hotel stays could Bermudaproduce?Suppose you are considering whether to purchase a house off of Lake Erie for $400,000. You expect thetotal costs of maintaining the property (utilities, repairs, etc.) to equal $15,000/year, and that you would be able togenerate $35,000/year in revenue if you were to put the house on the short term rental market.a. (3) Suppose you are deciding between purchasing the home or whether to invest $400,000 in an interest-bearingaccount. If your objective is to maximize your own net income, what would the interest rate have to equal for youto invest in the interest-bearing account?b. (4) Suppose you decide to buy the house, and now you have to decide whether/when to list the house on theshort term rental market (like Airbnb) or stay in the house yourself. Briefly explain what this decision woulddepend on. What are the implicit (opportunity) costs associated with renting the house to someone else on a givenday? What are the implicit costs associated with the staying in the house yourself?c.…
