Consider a lake found in the village of Sturbridge, and then answer the questions that follow. The village has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The village also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit.

Consider a river found in the city of Philadelphia, and then answer the questions that follow. The city has a resort whose visitors use the river for recreation. The city also has a tannery that dumps industrial waste into the river. This pollutes the river and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the tannery's waste decreases the resort's economic profit. Suppose that the tannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the river to levels safe for recreation, and the resort would no longer be affected. If the tannery uses the recycling method, then the tannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the resort's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the tannery does not use the recycling method, then the tannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the resort's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table. Complete the following table by computing…
The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a research lab that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the research lab's waste decreases the campground's economic profit. Suppose that the research lab could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the research lab uses the recycling method, then the research lab's economic profit is $1,300 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $2,300 per week. If the research lab does not use the recycling method, then the research lab's economic profit is $2,100 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,100 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table. NOTE: Choice for first fill-in-blank is (not used or used), for the second its (not use…

Consider a river found in the city of Philadelphia, and then answer the questions that follow. The city has a hiking lodge whose visitors use the river for recreation. The city also has a chemical plant that dumps industrial waste into the river. This pollutes the river and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the chemical plant's waste decreases the hiking lodge's economic profit. Suppose that the chemical plant could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the river to levels safe for recreation, and the hiking lodge would no longer be affected. If the chemical plant uses the recycling method, then the chemical plant's economic profit is $2,500 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $2,500 per week. If the chemical plant does not use the recycling method, then the chemical plant's economic profit is $3,000 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $1,700 per week. These figures…

ECONOMICS Please Show Your Work With an Explanation This problem set explores what happens to pricing when we add network effects, which are a specific form of positive externality. You’ve invented a 3D fax machine. This cool technology is almost like a Star Trek teleporter. You can scan an object at one machine, which creates an exact copy at another 3D fax machine. It is so valuable that as more people use it, it becomes more valuable, and the price any given user is willing to pay increases in turn. Consider a scenario in which there are 12 possible users, who each value the fax machine at i*n, where i is the index of that user (from 1 to 12), and n is the number of other purchasing users. So, if no one buys the 3D fax machine, everyone values it at 0. However, as soon as one person buys the device, then the 12 possible users begin to value the product at 1, 2, … 12, respectively. If 2 people purchase, the 12 possible users’ valuations increase to 2, 4, … 24, and so on. Because…

Firm A currently dumps 223 tons of chemicals into the local river. Firm B currently dumps 192 tons of chemicals into the local river. The government has decided to reduce the pollution and from now on will require a pollution permit for each ton of pollution dumped into the river. The government gives each firm 10 pollution permits. The abatement costs of one ton of pollution is $173 for Firm A and $76 for Firm B. What would be the total cost of reducing pollution, if the firms are allowed to trade permits between each other?
