A firm makes a product whose contribution per unit is $2,000 and takes 100 hours to make (machine time). A component of this product has a marginal cost of $400 and takes 10 hours to make (machine time). This component could be purchased from an external supplier. Assuming the firm is working at full capacity, what is the maximum price that the company is willing to pay to buy the component from the external supplier?

Show all work. Draw graphs to explain your answers. The correct answers will include areas on the graph and dollar values. Suppose a chemical factory discharges waste products into a river resulting in significant damages to a local fishery. The marginal damage to the fishery (measured in terms of the value of lost fish stocks) is represented by the equation:MDC = 10E The chemical factory can reduce its effluent flows by treating its waste products. Its marginal abatement cost (MAC) function is given by the equation: MAC = 1,200 - 5E.
What level of emissions will occur if the chemical factory is not regulated? What would the total abatement costs for the chemical factory be if emissions are controlled and reduced to zero?
If no liability laws are in place, what damages will the chemical factory inflict on the fishery? (Hint: find TDC)
If the government puts in place a liability law that requires the chemical factory to compensate the fishery for the damages it causes,…

- Suppose a tax is set at t’ in the figure. How many units of emissions are ABATED and is abatement achieved cost effectively? Suppose a regulation has just been implemented requiring that coal-fired power plants pay a tax of $80 on each unit of emissions (1 unit is 1 metric ton). Before the tax was imposed, a plant called Old River Power had an emissions level of 100 units. Given a marginal abatement cost function of 200 – 2E, under the tax policy what will Old River Power pay the regulator in emissions taxes?arrow_forwardDefine the term cost-reduction project?arrow_forwardIn Year 2, the neighborhood decides to charge $1 per day for access to one part of the neighborhood park--the splash pad. All other areas of the park remain open to the public. In Year 2, therefore, the neighborhood realizes $20,000 in revenue. The cost to maintain the park in Year 2 remains the same ($50,000). This results in a “loss” of $45,000 for Year 2. Did the park create more or less economic value in Year 2 than in Year 1? Think about how you would answer these questions about this neighborhood park, then think about how this might apply to the USPS. 1. What positive externalities does USPS produce, and how has the value of these externalities changed over time? 2. Explain how you would calculate the economic value created by the USPS, taking into account the positive externalities it produces.arrow_forward
- This question illustrates the argument on p.114 of the book. A and B own neighboring properties. Beneath their properties is a common well that contains 200 units of oil. The cost to A of extracting oil from the well in period t depends on the number of units of oil in the well at the beginning of the period t, ut, and the number of units of oil A extracts in period t, xAt ; specifically, the average cost of extraction for A per unit in period t is xAt /ut. The analogous cost function for B is xBt/ut. The market price of a barrel of oil is 1, there are two periods (t = 1, 2), and the discount rate is zero. The oil is a common property resource. a) (2) Suppose that A and B "unitize" and cooperatively decide how much oil to extract, and split the profit between them. The jointly profit-maximizing policy is that each extracts 50 units of oil from her well in each of the first two periods, after which the well is dry. How much discounted profit will A and B each make? b) (2) Suppose…arrow_forwardStudent tuition at ABC University is $500 per semester credit-hour. The state supplements school revenue by matching student tuition dollar for dollar. In other words, for each dollar a student pays in tuition, the state pays a dollar that is also considered revenue. Average class size for a typical three credit-hour course is 25 students. Labor costs are $3,000 per class, materials costs the school $25 per student per class and overhead costs are $15,000 per class. For this problem, ABC University measures output as the total amount of revenue generated. a) What is the multifactor productivity performance for a course at ABC University? b) If instructors work an average of 10 hours per week for 16 weeks for each three-credit hour class of 25 students, what is the labor-hours productivity ratio? c) Suppose next year, the tuition increases to $550 per semester credit hour but the state only pays $100 per semester hour instead of the matching it had previously paid.

As the deadline drew near, a business group (which may have an incentive to exaggerate) estimated that using the new technology to reduce pollution would increase vehicle prices by as much as $7,000. A spokesperson for the California Air Resources Board, which imposed the mandate, said that the additional materials cost was only about $70 to $270 per vehicle. Suppose that the two major producers are Toyota and Ford, and these firms were price setters with differentiated products. Show the effect of the new regulation. Is it possible that the price for these vehicles would rise by substantially more than the marginal cost would?
