The Al-Habsi family owns a big farm in Rustaq. Three choices exist for how to use the farm: i Grow garlic, where garlic yield wouid be 70.bags per acre. The price of garlic is RO 3.5 per bag and production costs are RO140.per acre (Pxa) - pnduhun =( 1.5 X70)-140= 105 RO- rwenue ii. Grow cucumber, where cucumber yield would be S0 bags per acre. The price of cucumber is RO 2,5.per bag and production costs are RO150 per (2.5xs0) - 150, -25RO loves acre iii. Lease/rent out the acres to Mr. Al-Kindi (a neighbor) who will pay RO 80 per acre. With the lease/rent option the Al-Habsi family would still have expenses of RO 35.per acre. Based on the information above, answer the following questions: 80-15- 45Ror tue O Which alternative should the Habsi family undertake? Why? Q.

The damages from this pollutant are MD=10e while aggregate abatement cost is MAC=10+5a.

One way governments can charge firms for pollution rights is by imposing a per-unit tax on emissions. A tax (or price in this case) of $ of sulfur dioxide emitted will achieve the desired level of pollution. per ton Now suppose the U.S. government does not know the demand curve for pollution and, therefore, cannot determine the optimal tax to achieve the desired level of pollution. Instead, it auctions off pollution permits. Each permit entitles its owner to emit one ton of sulfur dioxide per day. To achieve the socially optimal quantity of pollution, the government auctions off 125 million pollution permits. Given…
A firm has a marginal emissions benefit of 100-0.5*E in each of 2 years, where E measures emissions in tons. The marginal cost of emissions to society is 75/ton. The discount rate is 10% and the marginal cost of emissions also grows at 10% per year. The government decides to give the firm permits to emit 50 tons of emissions per year, but allows the firm to "bank" or "borrow" permits across the two years so that this effectively acts as a 100 ton cap on emissions over 2 years. How much will the firm emit in each year? If all firms are identical to the one you analyze here, is the government issuing too many or too few emission permits relative to the efficient level? How do you know?

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 isnonrival andnonexcludable . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $61,110. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 2,240 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $20. 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 the benefit of…
