Answer to Problem 1CQQ

Option “a” is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Option (a):

The person who is not currently at work but who has actively worked during the previous month is referred to as unemployed. Therefore, the number of unemployed is 10. Thus, option “a” is correct.

Option (b):

Here 40 peoples are full-time workers, 20 people work half-time but are referred to full-time workers, 10 are looking for a job,10 would like to work but are so discouraged that they have given up looking for a job, 10 are not interested in working because they are full-time students and 10 are retired. From this category, the number of people who are looking for job (10) is the number of unemployed from the total population of 100. Thus, option “b” is incorrect.

Option (c):

From different category of people according to their employment status, it is found that 10 people are unemployed. Thus, option “c” is incorrect.

Option (d):

40 peoples are included in full-time working category and only 10 peoples are considered to be the unemployed. Thus, option “d” is incorrect.

Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs are given by c₁ (e₁) and C2 (е2), where e denotes emissions and subscripts denote the firm. We assume that c{(e) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂' (e). Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission e we have C₂'(e) # The regulator does not know the resulting C₁'(e) Τι environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform emissions standards. Discuss the cost-effectiveness of both approaches to control pollution.
Bill’s father read that each year a car’s value declines by 10%. He also read that a new car’s value declines by 12% as it is driven off the dealer’s lot. Maintenance costs and the costs of “car problems” are only $200 per year during the 2-year warranty period. Then they jump to $750 per year, with an annual increase of $500 per year.Bill’s dad wants to keep his annual cost of car ownership low. The car he prefers cost $30,000 new, and he uses an interest rate of 8%. For this car, the new vehicle warranty is transferrable.(a) If he buys the car new, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(b) If he buys the car after it is 2 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(c) If he buys the car after it is 4 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(d) If he buys the car after it is 6 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(e) What strategy do you recommend? Why?
