A company's marginal costs for emission reduction (MAC) can be expressed as MAC = 2A, where A is abatement in tonnes. MAC is expressed in USD. Assume that the company's total emissions inthe starting position is 100 tons. a) Assume that the authorities now decide on a limit value which means that the company may not emit more than 30 tonnes. What is the total cost for the company to live up to this limit? b) A research team consisting of both ecologists and economists concludes that the marginal benefit (per tonne) of reducing emissions is constant and equal to USD 100. How high is the socio-economically optimal level of emissions (for the individual company) given thisinformation? c) Assume that a system for trading in emission rights is established. The company in question is allocated 30 emission rights (where each right corresponds to one tonne). If the price of emission rights is USD 120 (per tonne), will the company be a buyer or a seller of emission rights and if so, how many…
Given problem: The ore of a gold mine in the Mountain Province contains, on average, 0.5 grams of gold per ton. One method of processing costs $1,650 per ton and recovers 93% of the gold, while another method costs only $1,500 per ton and recovers 81% of the gold. If gold can be sold at $8,500 per gram, which method is better, and by how much? Consider the income and cost per ton of ore. Solve for the net receipt of each method. *Round off answer in 2 decimal places. Thank you
a) Describe, in general, the flow of the decision-making process in economic engineering. b) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity corresponding to a scenario with a demand curve represented by Cd = 1600 - 30Pb and a supply curve represented by Co = 1400 + 70Pb. c) Calculate the new quantities supplied and demanded for the scenario of letter 'b', assuming a 10% increase in the equilibrium price found above.

You get a discount on items when you order 500. The price of the item is $10 if you order less than 100 and $9 if you order 100 or more. The holding cost of the item is $2 per year. The setup cost is $20. The demand for the item is 2000 per year. Compute the optimal EOQ.

For an infinite-period multiple rotation model (Faustmann Rotation) for a forest, explain the economic intuition behind: (a) (In words) the mathematical condition that determines when the rotation length should end. (b) Why each rotation period is the same length of time. (c) The role of the discount rate in determining rotation length. (d) How the addition of non-timber benefit may influence rotation length. You need to define the specific non-timber benefit also.

A company produces and sells a consumer product and is ableto control the demand by varying the selling price. The approximate relationship between price and demand is p = 38+ (2,700/D) - (5000/D²) for D>1 The company is seeking to maximize its profit. The fixed cost is $1,000 and the variable cost is $ 40 per unit. What is the number of units that should be produced and sold each month to maximize profit? A 71 B 60 с 50 D 25

The cost (in dollars) of producing x units of a certain commodity is C(x) = 9,000 + 12x + 0.15x². (a) Find the average rate of change (in $ per unit) of C with respect to x when the production level is changed from x = 100 to the given value. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) (i) X = 105 $ (ii) x = 101 per unit per unit (b) Find the instantaneous rate of change (in $ per unit) of C with respect to x when x = 100. (This is called the marginal cost. Its significance will be explained in a future chapter.) per unit
