1. Consider the following two-period extraction problem (assume a zero discount rate): Supply (marginal cost of extraction): MC1 = 4 MC2=2 Demand (marginal benefit of consumption): MB1 = 10 - Q1 MB2= 12 - Q2 Total supply of the resource: 10 a) What quantities and prices solve the dynamic efficiency problem, considering both time periods? b) Suppose government imposes a tax of $8 for each unit of the resource, starting in time period 2. Solve for the new prices and quantities in each time period. c) Find the level of the tax such that increases in the tax do not change Q1, but decreases in the tax do change Qi. d) How do your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the resource is not scarce? For example suppose total supply of the resource is 1000.

SITUATION3: Under the data collected from the office of Department of Transportation and DPWH over the last 5 years indicate that for each fatality, there are 40 non-fatal injury accidents ($1500 present cost each) and 300 property damage accidents ($2000 present cost each). What is the breakeven value of statistical Me (VSL) needed to justify a highway project if i is 8%? The death rate on a particular three-lane road is 8 per 100 million vehicle-miles. Adding a lane would reduce this to 5 per million, and other accidents would cost $1.5M per mile to build, and annual maintenance would be 3% of the first cost. Assume that the lane would last 40 years. The road carries 10000 vehicle per day. Use reduction factor of 3/8 for all accidents. (Non-CE students no need to answer this item).

I will split this question into two parts per the Q&A guidlines and leave a like for your assistance, thank you.Background:New Pumper system equipment is under consideration by a gulf coast chemical processing plant. One crucial pump moves highly corrosive liquids from specially lined tanks on intercoastal barges into storage and preliminary refining facilities dockside. Beacuse of the variable quality of the raw chemical and the igh pressures imposed on the pump chassis and impellers, a close log is maintained on the number of hours per year that the pump operates safety records and pump componenet deterioration are considered critical control points for this system. As currently planned, rebuild and M&O cost estimates are increased accordingly when cummulative operating time reaches the 6000-hour mark. Information:- First cost: $800,000- Rebuild Cost: $150,000 whenever 6000 cumulative hours are logged. Each rework will cost 20% more than the previous one. A maximum of three…
PROBLEM: Orange Line Metro Train The Orange Line Metro Train is an automated rapid transit system in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It will be Pakistan's first metro and first of the three proposed colored rail lines for the Lahore Metro Train Project. The line will span 27.1 km with 25.4 km elevated and 1.72 km underground. Consisting of 26 stations and is expected to handle 250,000 passengers daily. It also encompasses as a part of the wider China Pakistan Economic Corridor. It is expected to be operational in early 2020. Lahore Metrobus System Inaugurated on February 11, 2014, the Lahore Metrobus System currently operates with a fleet of 66 buses. The buses run on a single 28.7 km long Ferozepur Road corridor. Following the initiation ceremony, use of the system was to be free during the first month. However, following a week of chaos and overcrowding, a fare of Rs. 20 was imposed irrespective of the QC
