Cost-benefit analysis A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is and . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $64,470. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 2,510 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $20. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ .

They exercise different amounts and have different marginal benefits for any given size of public park. The marginal benefits for each person are: MBA (A) =6-A/4; MBB (A) =14-A; MBC (A)=15-3A, where subscripts denote each person. The marginal cost of A acres of park is 18. Suppose the county government informs the voters that for each unit of A, each person will pay a tax of $6. What would be each person's preferred size of A? What would be the size of A that would result from voting? Suppose that the government of Parkland decides that it wants to provide the efficient size of park. Further suppose that the government decides it is now willing to charge different people a different tax to meet this goal. What would be the size of A ?

- Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe are roommates; each has 10 hours of free time you could spend cleaning your apartment. You all dislike cleaning, but you all like having a clean apartment: each person’s payoff is the total hours spent (by everyone) cleaning, minus a number 1/2 times the hours spent (individually) cleaning.That is, ui(s1, s2, s3) = s1 + s2 + s3 -1/2si Assume everyone chooses simultaneously how much time to spend cleaning. a. Find the Nash equilibrium. b. Find the Nash if the payoff for each player is: ui(s1, s2, s3) = s1 + s2 + s3 − 3si Is the Nash equilibrium Pareto efficient? If not, can you find an outcome in which everyone is better off than in the Nash equilibrium outcome?arrow_forwardTo determine the value of a bridge to members of a community, why is asking them directly not a reliable way of measuring the benefits and costs?

The company has 2 variants of superior milk, namely mocha and green tea. Based on historical data, the R&D team has found that the advantage per liter for each milk variant follows the following equation: πmocha = $45 - 0.9x and πgreen-tea = $65 - 1.7y Where x is the number of liters of mocha milk produced and y is the number of liters of green tea milk produced. It takes 2 hours to produce 1 liter of mocha milk and 5 hours to produce 1 liter of green tea milk. With the current number of workers, companies have a total of 40 hours of work in a day, and everything should be used to make both variants. The company wants to know the optimal amount of milk to be produced. a. How many liters of mocha milk and green tea should the company produce? b.

Their vacation budget before entering the cab was $400, and based on their understanding of the type of bonus question they’ll be asked, they believe they have a 80% chance of getting the question right. As explained in the article, if they answer the video bonus question correctly, they will double their winnings, but if they miss the video bonus question, they will lose all of what they had previously won. Alternatively, they can choose not to play for the bonus and walk away with their winnings from the cab ride.
