1. The opportunity cost of holding assets as money Suppose you've just inherited $165,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $165,000 in a non-interest-bearing account so that you can use it whenever you want (that is, hold it as money) or to use it to buy a U.S. Treasury bond. The opportunity cost of holding the inheritance as money depends on the interest rate on the bond. For each of the interest rates in the following table, compute the opportunity cost of holding the $165,000 as money. Interest Rate on Government Bond (Percent) 8 Opportunity Cost (Dollars per year) 10 What does the previous analysis suggest about the market for money? The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises. The supply of money is independent of the interest rate. The quantity of money demanded increases as the interest rate rises.

Does this seem reasonable in this case?(b) What is the monopoly price and quantity?(c) Suppose a regulator wanted to improve welfare by operating the firm directly. Assuming that we value consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue/cost equally, what output would the regulator choose? What is consumer surplus? What is the cost incurred by the government?

Action No Recycling Recycling Chemical Lab (Dollars) 2,400 2,100 Profit Water Park (Dollars) 1,100 1,900 Total (Dollars) Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is When the chemical lab uses the recycling method, the water park earns $1,900 - $1,100 = $800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the water park should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the chemical lab to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the chemical lab's economic profit by $2,400 - $2,100 = $300 per week. Therefore, the chemical lab should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $300 per week. Suppose the water park has the property rights to the lake. That is, the water park has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the chemical lab will the recycling method and will pay the water park per week. Now, suppose the chemical lab has the property…
