6. If Podunk's airport allows night takeoffs and landings, the 40 houses nearby each have a market value $3000 less than when no night takeoffs and landings are permitted. Suppose the residents have a property right to prevent night-time noise. The outcome of bargaining between the residents and the airport authority will be: a) Night flights unless each resident pays as much as $3000 b) No night flights unless the airport pays $120,000 in compensation. c) Night flights if the PDV of these flights exceeds $120,000. d) a) and c) e) b) and c)

1. A machine manufacturer sells high precision milling equipments. It sells the machine as well as the maintenance services. Users of milling machines from competitors were also potential sources of maintenance business. Based on a survey, customers were clustered into four segments of different size as shown below. Their willingness to pay for the machine and the maintenance service is also given in the table. The marginal cost to the firm for the machine and the maintenance services is respectively, $550 and $470, and there is no cost saving from bundling. segment Segment Size WTP for Machine WTP for maintenance 1 12 $1,250 $990 2 23 $1,450 $480 3 22 $1,180 $1,040 4 43 $1,390 $870 a.

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

1. How will the imposition of Pigovian taxes impact consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus as it relates to marine pollution?
Now assume that Super Polluter faces competition with the entrant of a new firm, Reducing our Footprint, Inc. The two fırms together split the market and total production, so now they are together emitting 80 tons of carbon dioxide (40 tons each). The EPA sets a goal to reduce these emissions by 40 tons, so they issue pollution permits for the remaining 40 tons only (20 to each firm). The costs of pollution reduction for both firms are shown in the graph below.

How about Reducing our Footprint (ROF)? • Assuming the pollution permits are tradable, and the cost of a permit settles at $400, how much will Super Polluter and Reducing our Footprint each reduce their pollution? • Including permit costs/income, what will it cost them? • How much does each firm save relative to…
