i.
Cash Flow equation including B variable.

Answer to Problem 45P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Cash- flow moment-equation.
Concept used:
Cash-flow movement equation shows equilibrium from a given pivot point.
Positive force is calculated from right side from pivot point. It is calculated by adding number of years at any pivot point.
Negative forces are discounted when calculation is done from left-side of pivot point.
In this case, year 4 has been taken as pivot point. The distance from point 4 is 0, distance from 2 is 1 and the distance from point 1 is 2. These are the points situated at right side of the pivot points. Hence, the value will be positive. These values will be compounded.
Since there exist no points at left side of the pivot points. Thus, the value will not be negative as a result there will be no discounted value.
Upside values will be added and downside values will be deducted.
Calculation:
With year 3 as the pivot point, the cash flow moment equation will be as follows
Conclusion:
Therefore, above equations will provide the equilibrium of the cash-flows at the given points.
ii.
Cash Flow equation including variable C.

Answer to Problem 45P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Cash- flow moment-equation.
Concept used:
Cash-flow movement equation shows equilibrium from a given pivot point.
Positive force is calculated from right side from pivot point. It is calculated by adding number of years at any pivot point.
Negative forces are discounted when calculation is done from left-side of pivot point.
Calculation:
In this case, year 5 has been taken as pivot point. The distance from point is 2, distance from point 2 is 3 and distance from point 1 is 4. These are the points situated at the right side of the pivot point with upside direction Hence, the value will be positive These values will be compounded.
The distance from point 5 is -1. These are the points situated at left-side of the pivot point with downside direction. Hence, the value will be negative. These values will be discounted.
Conclusion:
Therefore, above equations will provide the equilibrium of the cash-flows at the given points.
iii.
Cash Flow equation including variable V.

Assume that a society has a polluting industry comprising two firms, where the industry-level marginal abatement cost curve is given by: MAC = 24 - ()E and the marginal damage function is given by: MDF = 2E. What is the efficient level of emissions? b. What constant per-unit emissions tax could achieve the efficient emissions level? points) c. What is the net benefit to society of moving from the unregulated emissions level to the efficient level? In response to industry complaints about the costs of the tax, a cap-and-trade program is proposed. The marginal abatement cost curves for the two firms are given by: MAC=24-E and MAC2 = 24-2E2. d. How could a cap-and-trade program that achieves the same level of emissions as the tax be designed to reduce the costs of regulation to the two firms?arrow_forward
- Only #4 please, Use a graph please if needed to help provearrow_forwarda-carrow_forwardFor these questions, you must state "true," "false," or "uncertain" and argue your case (roughly 3 to 5 sentences). When appropriate, the use of graphs will make for stronger answers. Credit will depend entirely on the quality of your explanation. 1. If the industry facing regulation for its pollutant emissions has a lot of political capital, direct regulatory intervention will be more viable than an emissions tax to address this market failure. 2. A stated-preference method will provide a measure of the value of Komodo dragons that is more accurate than the value estimated through application of the travel cost model to visitation data for Komodo National Park in Indonesia. 3. A correlation between community demographics and the present location of polluting facilities is sufficient to claim a violation of distributive justice. olsvrc Q 4.
