50 people travel from Mississauga to Toronto. The Go Train takes 20 minutes. The average time for a person to reach downtown when driving is t = 100 + 0.5q and it depends on the number of D drivers on the road. a. Give a labelled diagram to compare the non-cooperative solution to the cooperative solution. Label the efficiency loss. The Marginal Time of commuting t' = 100 + D is twice as steep with the same vertical intercepts as the average time of commuting t = 100 + 0.5D. b. What is the total time for all 50 people if they behave non - cooperatively? What is the total time if they behave cooperatively. c. Use your diagram to show how a highway toll (per unit tax) could be used to correct this efficiency loss.
Four firms called Elm, Maple, Oak, and Cherry, produce wooden chairs. However, they also produce a great deal of garbage (a mixture of glue, varnish, sandpaper, and wood scraps). The first row of Table shows the total amount of garbage (in tons) that each firm currently produces. The other rows of the table show the cost of reducing garbage produced by the first five tons, the second five tons, and so on. First, calculate the cost of requiring each firm to reduce the weight of its garbage by one-fourth. Now, imagine that the government issues marketable permits for the current level of garbage, but the permits will shrink the weight of allowable garbage for each firm by one-fourth. What will be the result of this alternative approach to reducing pollution?

In Brazil, the government is also concerned about the situation explained in question 1. But it hascome to light that many coffee brands are wrongly marketed as fair trade by unscrupulous coffeecompanies, disguising the low wages paid to bean pickers. Such firms also contribute to groundwaterpollution and deforestation by squeezing coffee farmers who need to cut production cost to make aliving. Use the theories of market failure and government intervention to explain the reasons for thisconcern. Identify different suitable government interventions that the Brazilian government mayconsider. Critically discuss potential problems with these interventions.
