Consider a municipality A and an irrigation district B with the following marginalnet benefit functions that describe net benefits from water consumption q.MNBA = 72-12qAMNBB = 30-qBRecall marginal net benefits (MNB) shows the difference between marginal benefits andmarginal costs. The quantity that maximizes net benefits is found where MNB=0.a.) Assume the municipality A and the irrigation district B have two different sources ofwater. Assume it has been a very snowy winter and there is plenty of water for everyone.How much water should be processed and consumed by each?b.)How much total surplus (net benefits) is enjoyed by each?c.) Now assume it has been a less snowy winter and water supplies are limited. Each lakecontains only 9 units of water for the season. What is the efficient water consumption foreach?d.)

10 . Cost-benefit analysis A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is and . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $38,080. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 1,830 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $16. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is . Because the estimated benefit is than the cost, the college administrators undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of…
2. Suppose MAC = 40 - 2E and MD = 2E. Draw a graph to show and calculate the following: a) What are the efficient level of emissions e*, total damages TD, total abatement cost TAC, and total social costs related to emissions? b) If there is no pollution control, what is the total social costs related to emissions. How much of costs can be saved by moving to e*? c) What are the total social costs related to zero emissions? How much of costs can be saved by moving to e*? d) If the actual emission level is 15, what are the total damages, total abatement cost, and total social costs related to emissions? Compared with the efficient level, what is the deadweight loss (in terms of too high total social cost)?

Question THREE Some reasons why resources could be allocated inefficiently by the market are negative externalities and positive externalities. Explain, using graphs, what the problem is in each case, and explain possible solutions to each problem. All of these problems might be described as arising due to poorly defined property rights. Explain the relationship of property rights to these instances where the market fails to allocate resources efficiently. Explain how a corrective tax can eliminate the inefficiency caused by a negative externality. Use a graph to assist your explanation.
6. Consider the allocation of surface water between two types of users. The marginal net benefits are MNB, (q) =12-q, for one type and MNB, (q₂)=6-q, for the other type, where g, and q denote the quantity of water used by each type in suitable units and MNB denotes marginal net benefits in dollars per unit. a. Determine the aggregate marginal net benefit. b. Suppose there are q, 8 units of water available in a given year. Determine the efficient allocation of water to the two types. c. Suppose there are q, 4 units of water available in a given year. Determine the efficient allocation of water to the two types. d. Draw a clearly labeled graph illustrating the efficient allocation of water in parts b and c.

Remember, our textbook outlines only two types of goods, see the notes and lecture video for the other two types. a) An NPR (radio) signal - which is available to everyone with a radio, whether or not they contribute, the signal does not diminish no matter how many people tune in. [Select] b) A new Ford truck this can only be purchased by one person, you can not drive it off the lot without paying for it.
