The per-week (inverse) demand for use of the Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden is P = 13 − 0.15Q during peak traffic periods and P = 10 − 0.1Q during off-peak hours, where Q is the number of cars crossing the bridge in thousands and P is the toll in euros. If the marginal cost of using the bridge is MC = 5 + 0.2Q, what is the optimal peak load toll and off-peak load toll for crossing the bridge?

The speaker system would be a public good if they buy them, and the total cost would be $300 which would be shared equally among the three. Jim values it at $80, Saleem values it at $140, and Ritesh values it at $70. If the speakers are purchased each person gets a payoff equal to their net valuation (valuation minus cost share); if they are not purchased each gets zero payoff. a)Is it socially efficient that they buy the speaker system? With reference to the definition of a public good, why or why not? The roommates decide that they will write down their net valuations, and if these reports sum to more than zero, they will buy the TV (sharing the cost equally), or else they will not. b) If all were to report their true valuations, what payoff would each agent earn? c) Show that if Jim and Ritesh submit their true net valuation, then Saleem does better by submitting a false…arrow_forwardWhat factors are critical to the success of Dar's efforts to revive ICRISAT?arrow_forward

In 2006, a big client gave BPO a distribution of the forms that it digitized in house last year, and BPO estimated how much it would cost to digitize each form. Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost A 0.2 $0.80 B 0.2 $0.40 C 0.2 $0.40 D 0.2 $1.60 E 0.2 $0.80 The expected cost of digitizing a form is $__________- . Suppose the client and BPO agree to a deal, whereby the client pays BPO to digitize forms. The price of each form processed is equal to the expected cost of the form that you calculated in the previous part of the problem. Suppose that after the agreement, the client sends an equal mix of forms of types D and E only. The expected digitization cost per form of the forms sent by the client is $___________ . This leads to an expected loss of $__________ per form for BPO. (Hint: Do not round your answers. Enter the loss as a positive number.)arrow_forwardCalculates the book profit or loss as well as the economic gain or loss in each of the following situations: A company with total revenue of $350,000, explicit costs of $395,000 and implied costs of $40,000arrow_forward
