![3. A city of population 1M, with 3% unemployment, has decided to pay a locally owned construction firm
to build a new half mile long bridge. The city will borrow to finance the construction and will raise its
property tax revenue by $20M (M for million) per year to pay back the loan and all costs of operating the
bridge for 50 years. Of the expenditure on building and operating the bridge, 60% will pay for local value
added (goods and services provided by city residents). The government expects that the demand curve for
crossings over the bridge will be linear, with a choke price of $8. They plan to charge no toll and expect
that there will be 12M crossings per year, only by city residents driving cars, and almost never any traffic
congestion. In the problems below, except in part f, assume that the government's expectations are correct.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Faeb19e6b-e8ab-4bb4-9037-a971e438602d%2Ff8f32d8b-d7b0-4b2d-a054-4c84bc862f95%2Fviv1aja_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
