You are a University student who must live off-campus in the second year. There are two types of one-bedroom apartment where you prefer to live because it is near the campus. One rents for $400 per month and the other $360. According to the University Students’ Housing Bureau 80 percent of apartments in the area consists of the $400 type while the remaining 20 percent are of the $360 type. You need to visit the apartments to discover the rent. Suppose the first apartment you visit cost $400 and the opportunity cost of your visit is $6 per visit. 1. If you are risk neutral person should you visit another apartment or rent the one you have found.2. Suppose you visit another apartment and find out that it rents for $400, should you visit another apartment?

Four individuals who live around a large lake are hosting separate New Year’s Eve parties, and all are considering purchasing aerial fireworks; any fireworks purchased will be set off over the lake, and thus will be visible to everyone at all of the parties. Kevin’s marginal benefit from having an additional package of fireworks (which includes the benefit to himself and all of his guests) is given by MBK = 300 – 5Q, Jen’s is given by MBJ = 600 – 10Q, Laura’s is given by MBL = 900 – 15Q, and Emily’s is given by MBE = 1,200 – 20Q, where Q is the total number of packages of fireworks set off at all parties. Each package of fireworks costs $800 (i.e., MC = 800 A)Assuming there are no other relevant costs or benefits, what is the efficient quantity of fireworks? B)How many packages of fireworks will actually be set off if it is left to the free market?

Lane and Riley are the only two residents in a neighborhood, and they share the same driveway. They would like to have the driveway paved. The value of the paved driveway is $1,500 to Lane and $900 to Riley. Regardless of who pays for the paving both people will benefit from it. If the cost of paving the driveway is $2,000 and Lane proposes that they each pay 50 percent of this cost, then Riley ______ agree to Lane’s proposal because ______. A. will; repaving the driveway would increase total economic surplus B. will not; repaving the driveway would lower total economic surplus C. will; if they split the cost, then Riley’s economic surplus would increase D. will not; if they split the cost, then Riley’s economic surplus would decrease
Suppose that a surfboard designer owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a doctor. Further suppose that because the surfboard designer is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he sands the boards. While the doctor cannot insist on a quiet environment, the doctor could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $400/month more than rent in the noisy building. The surfboard designer can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $325/month. Given this situation, can the doctor find a private solution with the surfboard designer that will make both better off? What is the minimum and maximum payment the doctor would make to the surfboard designer to get the doctor to install the noise-reducing equipment? NOTE: Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Minimum: $ Maximum: $
