- Both coal and wind energy are used in Minnesota to generate electricity for household use. The two processes have radically different cost structures. Specifically let Qool = -10 + P where Qoo is the quantity of kilowatt hours supplied by coalfired plants, and P is the price per kilowatt hour, and let Qwind =-200 +2P where Qwind IS the quantity kilowatt hours supplied by wind turbines, and Pis the price per kilowatt hour. Let demand for electricity in Minnesota, measured in kilowatt hours, be given by the equation: Qwh= 410- P. Finally, let the marginal damages (MD) imposed on the environment as a result of electricity production by coal-fired plants be equal to: MD = 0.60 Qcoal where, as before, Qcoais the quantity of kilowatt hours supplied by coalfired plants. What happens to the amount of wind energy produced and consumed in Minnesota if coal-fired plants were forced to pay for the damages they impose on the environment? a. Wind energy production and use decreases. Ob. Wind energy…Given that the Suez Canal might be blocked, the only alternate sea route to Europe (from China) is sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. This route is approximately 3.600 miles (nautical) longer than the Suez Canal route, and takes about 9 days at typical 16.5 knots (mph). List the factors (as many as you can think of) affecting the cost of transporting cargo by sea and guess their weight (importance) on the total cost. What change in the factors above would affect the optimal sailing speed?The cost of controlling carbon dioxide emissions [C(E)] at a firm goes up rapidly as the amount of emissions (E) increase. Let's assume the relationship is defined by the function below. C(E)= 5000+ 40E +2E² E20 where E is measured in tonnes per year and C is measured in dollars per year. a) Determine the Marginal Cost function for controlling carbon dioxide emissions and find the marginal cost at 50 tonnes of emissions: b) Determine the Average Cost Function for controlling carbon dioxide emissions and find the tonnes of emissions at minimum average cost. c) The government is charging a tax of $270 for every tonne of carbon dioxide emitted. At, 50 tonnes of emissions, is it profitable for the firm to control emissions on its own or pay the carbon tax?
- Use the table to answer questions 1. What is the oppourtonity cost of producing 800 tons of fruit instead of 450?Transportation costs per ton of product vary with distance. For trucks the function is: TCt = 3 + 1.25d For rail it is: TCr = 5 + d For barge it is: TCb = 6 + 1.1d where d is the distance in hundreds of miles and TC is dollars per ton. Make a table showing the least cost mode of transport for distances d = 1, 2, ...,10. Graph the problem and label the modal break points clearly.n the aftermath of a hurricane, an entrepreneur took a one-month leave of absence (without pay) from her $5,000-per-month job in order to operate a kiosk that sold fresh drinking water. During the month she operated this venture, the entrepreneur paid the government $2,500 in kiosk rent and purchased water from a local wholesaler at a price of $1.34 per gallon. Write an equation that summarizes the cost function for her operation, as well as equations that summarize the marginal, average variable, average fixed, and average total costs of selling fresh drinking water at the kiosk. If consumers were willing to pay $2.25 to purchase each gallon of fresh drinking water, how many units did she have to sell in order to turn a profit? Explain carefully. (LO1, LO3)
- a- The Western U.S. saw record heat waves in August, 2021. Electricity is heavily used in air conditioning leading to very high demand for electricity then. Would you expect the marginal costs of generating electricity to be similar to in May, 2021, lower orhigher? Why? b- Suppose California could add 1000 MWh of wind generation—which produces for four hours during the nighttime when temperatures are relatively low—or 1000 MWh of solar generation—which produces for four hours in the daytime when temperatures are relatively high. Which one would you have expected to lower total costs of electricity generation more in the summer? Why? Please explain by sketching the daytime and nighttime marginal cost curve for electricity and showing the size of the cost reductions.Agree or Disagree and Why: One year ago, I loaned a friend $1000 and he just paid me back the whole $1,000. The loan did not cost me anything. An oil refinery bought millions of barrels of oil four months ago for $80 per barrel, compared to $120 / barrel today. The cost of using those barrels of oil to produce gasoline today is still $80.The per-unit cist of an item is its average total cost=(=total cost/quantity). Suppose that a new cell phone application costs $100,000 to develop and only $0.70 per unit to deliver to each cell phone customer. What will be the per-unit coat of the application if it sells 100 units? What will be the per-unit coat of the application if it sells 1,000 units? What will be the per-unit cost of the application if it sells 1 million units?
