Sub part (a):
The difference in tip earnings when the server goes from mean to nice.
Sub part (a):
Answer to Problem 23TPS
$60.
Explanation of Solution
When the server is mean, he receives tip earnings of $40 per shift. When the server is nice, he is able to earn the tip of $100 per shift. Thus, when the server moves from being rude to being nice, the change in the tip earnings can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the difference between being nice and being mean is $60. Therefore, the server will earn additional $60 when he becomes nice rather than being mean.

Wages and Salaries: Wages and salaries are the main two means through which the people are paid. The wages are paid on the hourly basis for a day whereas the salaries are paid monthly.
Sub part (b):
The average tip earned when all the servers are mean.
Sub part (b):
Answer to Problem 23TPS
$40.
Explanation of Solution
When the server is mean, he receives the tip earnings of $40 per shift. When the server is nice, he is able to earn the tip of $100 per shift. Thus, when all the workers are mean, each will earn only $40 per shift. This means that the average tip earned by the server will be the same, which is $40 per shift. When all the servers are nice, each will earn $100 per shift as a tip. Therefore, when all servers are nice, each will earn $100 per shift.

Sub part (c):
The benefit from being nice from being mean.
Sub part (c):
Explanation of Solution
When the server is mean, he receives the tip earnings of $40 per shift. When the server is nice, he is able to earn the tip of $100 per shift. When some of the workers are mean and some are nice, there will be changes in the mean average and nice average. This can be calculated as follows:
|
Mean (Omitting the individual) |
Nice (Omitting the individual) | Total tips if the individual is mean | Total tips if the individual is Nice | Mean average | Nice average | Benefit of the individual from being nice |

From the above table, it can be identified that the benefit of an individual from being nice rather than being mean is $6. Thus, in pool system, the benefit for the server is only 1/10th of the benefit under normal system at any combination.
Concept introduction:
Wages and Salaries: Wages and salaries are the main two means through which the people are paid. The wages are paid on the hourly basis for a day whereas the salaries are paid monthly.
Sub part (d):
When the servers like to be more nice.
Sub part (d):
Explanation of Solution
When the server is mean, he receives the tip earnings of $40 per shift. When the server is nice, he is able to earn the tip of $100 per shift. Thus, the benefit by being nice is $60 under per shift system. When the pool system is operating, the worker will benefit only with $6.
Therefore, the worker will have more incentive to be nice under the system where they can keep their own tip. When the restaurants want to keep their customers happy, the servers should be nice. Thus, the restaurant would follow the personal tip policy rather than the pool system.

Researchers have estimated the MDF and MAC curves for the emissions to be the following: MDF = 4E and MAC = 125 – E Policymakers have decided to implement an emissions tax to control pollution. They are aware that a constant per-unit tax of $100 is an efficient policy. Yet they are also aware that this policy is not politically feasible because of the large tax burden it places on the firm. As a result, policymakers propose a two- part tax: a per unit tax of $75 for the first 15 units of emissions an increase in the per unit tax to $100 for all further units of emissions With an emissions tax, what is the general condition that determines how much pollution the regulated party will emit? What is the efficient level of emissions given the above MDF and MAC curves? What are the firm's total tax payments under the constant $100 per-unit tax? What is the firm's total cost of compliance…arrow_forward2. Answer the following questions as they relate to a fishery: Why is the maximum sustainable yield not necessarily the optimal sustainable yield? Does the same intuition apply to Nathaniel's decision of when to cut his trees? What condition will hold at the equilibrium level of fishing in an open-access fishery? Use a graph to explain your answer, and show the level of fishing effort. Would this same condition hold if there was only one boat in the fishery? If not, what condition will hold, and why is it different? Use the same graph to show the single boat's level of effort. Suppose you are given authority to solve the open-access problem in the fishery. What is the key problem that you must address with your policy?arrow_forward
