Malaria can be controlled Other goods and services (millions of units) The World Health Organization's malaria chief says that it is too costly to try to fully eradicate the disease. He says that by using nets, medicine, and DDT it is possible to eliminate 90 percent of malaria cases. But to eliminate 100 percent of cases would be extremely costly. 4- Source: The New York Times, March 4, 2008 3- Make a graph of the production possibilities frontier with malaria control on the x-axis and other goods and services on the y-axis. 1- Draw a graph of the PPF that shows the tradeoff between the production of other goods and services and malaria control in a country that has malaria.

Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Japan produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for wheat, an agricultural good, and cars, a capital good. A-Z Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a technological advance in medicine that allows workers to live longer and have extended careers. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

A local school administrator observes an increase in the number of flu cases in the public schools over the last two years. She is concerned that some families cannot afford flu vaccine and are therefore not having children vaccinated. She is also concerned that the failure to vaccinate some children is putting other children at risk, so she proposes that the state subsidize vaccines to increase coverage rates. a. Determine whether the failure to vaccinate some children is an external benefit or an external cost. If an external cost is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social cost curve. If an external benefit is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social benefit curve. Place point C at the equilibrium outcome. Place point D at the socially optimal outcome. Flu vaccines A B D Supply (marginal private cost) Price
\table[[],,,, Pollute, Use FiThere are two firms whose factories sit alongside a lake. It costs each firm $2,100.00 to install filters to avoid polluting the lake. Because both firms utilize the lake's water to produce goods, a polluted lake hurts their production process and increases their costs. Assume that the cost to each firm of a polluted lake is $1400.00 times the number of polluting firms. Fill in the cost matrix based on the above information. Note: Include negative signs because this problem refers to costs.Which of the following are true about the equilibrium in a one-shot game? Choose one or more: A. Both firms pollute. B. Only firm 2 pollutes. C. The equilibrium is not Pareto optimal. D. Neither firm pollutes. E. Only firm 1 pollutes. Pollute Firm 1 Use Filter Firm 2 Pollute Use Filter

Table 11-6Consider the city of Widgetapolis with only four residents, John, James, Mary, and Lydia. The four residents are trying to determine how many hours to spend in cleaning up the public lake. The table below shows each resident’s willingness to pay for each hour of cleaning. Hours John James Mary Lydia 1 $30 $50 $40 $10 2 25 40 37 9 3 20 30 34 8 4 15 20 30 7 5 9 10 25 6 6 3 0 15 5 7 0 0 5 4 Refer to Table 11-6. Suppose the cost to clean the lake is $40 per hour and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of cleaning the lake equally. If it was decided that the lake will be cleaned for the number of hours that maximizes total surplus of Widgetapolis, how much individual surplus will Mary receive in total? a. $116 b. $15 c. $25 d. -$10
43. A city currently emits 16 million gallons (MG) of raw sewage into a lake that is beside the city. Table 12.13 shows the total costs (TC) in thousands of dollars of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits (TB) of doing so. Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits. TC TB 16 MG Current Current 12 MG 50 800 8 MG 150 1300 4 MG 500 1850 O MG 1200 2000 Table 12.13 a. Using the information in Table 12.13 calculate the marginal costs and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for this city. b. What is the optimal level of sewage for this city? How can you tell?
