warten population manghe ecosystem's Carrying capacity? 6. We have the following data for Demand Price and Costs for our product. Quantity Demand Price Costs 300 100 $21.63 $35.35 $5040.00 $2347.67 500 $17.25 $7481.67 1000 $12.70 $12469.67 1500 $10.26 $16196.00 We have reason to believe that the Demand Price is a power (exponential) function of some kind. Our Cost function is close to linear, but we expect, from some market analysis, that it is in fact quadratic. Approximate this data with a Demand Price function and a Cost function. Explain how confident you are; that is, how much error do you think is reasonable in this type of scenario? 区

Computer models of global climate changecaused by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere predictnot only higher overall temperatures, but also more intense andfrequent heat waves. During the devastating European heatwave in the summer of 2003, between 35,000 and 52,000“excess deaths” occurred. Before taking specific actions toreduce carbon dioxide emissions, economists and politicians tryto estimate the costs. Should excess deaths be included as acost of inaction? If so, what value should we place on a life?

The industry marginal cost, excluding the cost of emissions (private marginal cost), is 4 + 4•q, expressed in $ per tire. The inverse demand curve for tires is p = 480 - 3-q, also expressed in $ per tire. In order to achieve the socially efficient level of tire production, which takes into account the optimal level of air pollution, the government levies a tax on the industry. What is the efficient pollution tax? $84 per tire $101 per tire $152 per tire Price

Firm 11 2 Initial Pollution Level 3 100 200 $20 $40 Above is tabulated the pollution level in tons for three different manufacturing firms, as well as their cost per ton of reducing pollution. The government has decided to limit total pollution to 300 tons, and distribute to each firm 100 permits, each allowing the firm to emit 1 ton of the pollutant. By how much would the total cost of the pollution reduction initiative be reduced if the firms are allowed to trade their permits, as opposed to not letting them trade them? Cost of Reducing Pollution by 1 Unit $10 300
cap-and-trade and windfall profitsA city called Seoul is suffering from high concentrations of mercury in the air, caused by burningcoal in power plants. There are two of these plants close to the city. The city’s mayor wants touse cap-and-trade to reduce emissions to a reportedly “safe” level of 60 tons. The two firms havethe following marginal benefits of emissions: MB1 = 100 – 2e1, MB2 = 25 – 0.5e2.a. How much mercury will each firm emit? What allowance price will prevail in themarket?Firm 2 hires a smart lobbyist who convinces the government that its profits are relatively low andthat it therefore deserves a generous allowance allocation. The government agrees and allocatesa1 = 20 allowances to firm 1 (for free) and a2 = 40 allowances to firm 2 (for free).b. What are the firms’ profits? Do any of the firms earn windfall profits? [Hint: compareprofits with and without regulation.] Windfall profits have been sharply criticized by consumer advocacy groups and politicians.c. What can…

25. Suppose that there is a large farm and a large recreation firm located on a river. The farm is upstream of the recreational area. The farm uses the streamflow for irrigation. Let S be the amount of streamflow used by the farm and suppose its marginal benefit for irrigation is given by MB-5000-15S. Use of streamflow by the farm is costly to the recreational firm, though, because of lost opportunities for boating, fishing, and camping. Suppose this marginal cost is given by MC=5s. (a) Draw a sketch of the MB and MC curves for use of S by the farm. On your graph, show the efficient level of S by the farm. Solve for this amount from the equations. (b) If unregulated, the farm uses streamflow at a price of zero. Show on your graph what S this corresponds to. Solve for it from the equations. (c) If the government sets a tax price on streamflow, what tax price per unit of S will result in the farm using the efficient level of streamflow? Show on your graph and find with the equations. (d)…
