Yearly demand for water by residents and businesses in the city of Black Bear Lake is equal to Qo 2000 - 10P where Qo is milons of gallons of water, and P is price. Assume that, due to a drought, the state limits the city to no more than 1800 million gallons of water that it must allocate over a two-year period. The state currently does not charge Black Bear Lake for its water. If the City employs a 5 percent discount rate, how many millions of gallons of water should be allocated during the first period, if the city desires to maximize the net benefits of water consumption over these periods?

In Ghana, it is possible to produce beans or groundnut using the same resources. Therefore, producers are able to sw itch from beans to groundnut production depending on market conditions. Consequently, Zokia consulted an Economist who estimated the demand function for beans as: Qbd = 600 – 4Pb – 0.03M – 12Pg + 15T + 6Pe + 1.5N where Qbd is the quantity demanded of beans each month, ?? is the average price of beans (in Ghana Cedis), M is the average household income (in GH¢), ?? is the price of groundnut (in GH¢), T is a consumer taste index ranging in value from 0 to 10 (the highest rating), ?? is the price (in GH¢) consumers expect to pay next month for beans, and N is the number of buyers in the market for beans. Assume the following initial values: ??=5, ??= 40, T= 6.5, Pe= 5.25, N= 2000, Qbd = 2479 Using the concept of own price elasticity, advise management on price change in order to increase revenue.
