The demand and supply functions for oil for the current generation (in million barrels) is: Demand: Qd = 250 – 5P Supply: Qs = 5P a. Assume the current generation does not consider the future at all. Draw a supply and demand graph showing the equilibrium price (P) and quantity (Q) consumed by this generation showing clearly the numbers for P and Q. b. Calculate the marginal net benefit (MNB) of consumption on this period and draw the graph. Explain your answer. [Hint: to calculate the MNB, convert the supply and demand curves as a function of quantity, P = f(Q)] c. Assume that the next generation will have the same demand.

The demand and supply functions for oil for the current generation (in million barrels) is:
Demand: Qd = 250 – 5P
Supply: Qs = 5P
a. Assume the current generation does not consider the future at all. Draw a
b. Calculate the marginal net benefit (MNB) of consumption on this period and draw the graph. Explain your answer. [Hint: to calculate the MNB, convert the supply and demand
c. Assume that the next generation will have the same demand. Supply for both generations is only 250 million barrels. Interest rate (r) is 5%. Calculate the efficient allocation of resources between the two generations.
