5. The turnpike was largely successful. People were willing to pay tolls, and towns along the turnpike saw economic benefits due to increased traffic. What were some negative effects of the turnpike? Select all that apply. The project ran grossly over budget, which meant that taxpayers were on the hook for years to come. The tolls that were supposed to be temporary remain in effect today. Some towns along other routes experienced economic decline. Pollution created by cars using the turnpike is a concern to this day.

1. A local city council is considering a major transit expansion. The project requires purchases of $40 million in equipment now and annual expenses of $1 million each year starting in 2 years. The transit expansion is expected to reduce road congestion beginning next year and reduce respiratory illness in the region by 5% in 3 years. These benefits have been estimated monthly as 30 hours less time commuting. There are 250,000 commuters in the region and the average wage is $30 hour. Respiratory illness costs the local health system $500,000 each year. The council has asked you to complete a cost benefit analysis of the project. Present one with a time horizon of 5 years and another over the next 20 years. Current interest rates are 2% 2. Calculate the PV of $10 million received in 5 years 3. Suppose in a certain city the demand for low-cost housing can be characterized by the equation P = 200 - 2Q, where Q is housing measured in square feet. Further, suppose that supply is…

c) External costs in T-shirt production According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), it takes 2700 litres of water to produce one T-shirt. Water is used not only to grow cotton but also to dye clothing. Cotton growers use pesticides and chemicals that pollute the water. The pesticides and chemicals that remain in the environment harm animals and plant life. The WWF has been working with governments to help reduce this pollution. It advises them to introduce more regulation and to fine companies that pollute. Clothing manufacturers argue that this will add to their costs and mean they will supply less. This may mean they employ fewer people and will help reduce water pollution as less clothing is being manufactured. Fines will punish those that pollute while also earning the government revenue it can use to clean up the pollution. The fines must also be large enough to persuade firms to stop polluting. With reference to the information given in *External costs in T-shirt production' and…
