Last year, 18,00018,000 people died from a newly discovered disease. Pollution is one of the contributing factors. However, even if the level of pollution is reduced, it is estimated that about 5,5005,500 people will die annually from the disease. The estimated cost of a pollution-reduction project is $33.75$33.75 billion; before investing, the government wants to verify the project's value.Calculate the average cost of a life saved. Enter your answer in U.S. dollars in the box below and round to the nearest whole number if necessary.
A diesel refinery is upstream of an industrial farm. The runoff from the refinery pollutes the river and damages the crops. The farm earns $499 using the polluted water, but would earn $628 if it were clean. The refinery earns
$1772 but would only earn $1607 if it had to divert resources to prevent the runoff. There are no environmental laws. Assume that a scrubbing machine that would prevent the runoff costs $24 plus an installation cost. What
is the most that installation could cost for clean water to be the socially optimal outcome achieved through private bargaining?
O a. $141.00
O b. $36.00
O c. Anything, the machine is not required as clean water will already be achieved.
O d. $105.00
O e. $165

- The company World Airline System is composed of the routes X and Y, and each route requires 10 aircraft. These routes can be serviced by three types of aircraft — A, B, and C. There are 5 (five) Type A aircraft available, 10 (ten) Type B, and 10 (ten) Type C. These aircraft are identical except for their operating costs, which are as follows: Annual Operating Cost ($ millions) Aircraft Type Route X Route Y A 1.5 1.5 B 2.5 2.0 C 4.5 3.5 The aircraft have a useful life of 5 (five) years and a salvage value of $1 million. The aircraft owners do not operate the aircraft themselves, but rent them to operators. Owners act competitively to maximize their rental income, and operators attempt to minimize their operating costs. Airfares are also competitively determined. Assume the cost of capital is 10%.

During the same policy year, you have an additional medical expense of $3,500. How much will you pay? What is your total OOP for the year-to-date? Later in the same policy year, you have a $5,000 charge for tests required after your previous hospital stay. How much will you pay?arrow_forwardSandra and Mary live next to each other. Sandra has a dog that she walks every day. Sandra has to walk past Mary's front lawn and her dog always pees on Mary's flowers, which causes them to eventually die. Mary will move in a few months but, until then, she estimates she will spend $100 on flowers to replace the ones that die as a result of the daily visits from Sandra's dog. The only solution to this problem is a $50 fence that can be put around Mary's flowers that will protect them from Sandra's dog. a. What term do economists use for the consequences of Sandra's daily walks in this setting? b. Is it socially optimal to have the fence put around the flowers in this case? Why or why not? c. What does the Coase theorem say about how the social optimum could be achieved? Explain what an agreement between Sandra and Mary would look like if Mary has the right to not be bothered by her neighbour's dog.arrow_forward
