Discuss any three determinants of demand for road transport as a mode of transport.
QUESTION 11 The function that relates the inverse of speed (1/S) (i.e., the time in minutes that it takes to travel 1 mile) to traffic (T) on a highway is 1/S = 4 + 0.05T. Demand for traffic (measure as traffic volume per minute) on this road is T=6,880 -– 70.(1/S). a. Find the equilibrium traffic volume in the absence of any congestion tollI. b. Find the marginal cost function for traffic volume, where cost is expressed as travel time per mile in minutes. c. Find the optimal level of traffic volume. d. Find the optimal congestion toll, expressed in minutes. (Imagine that the congestion toll consists of sitting in the "penalty box" for this period of time.)

Q1. Suppose the government is considering an increase in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $3 to $4. At present, 1 million cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, the number of cars per week will change according to its price elasticity of demand of -0.8 (this elasticity value is estimated based on the initial-value method). If the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply curve is horizontal) and equal to $3 per car, what is the net annual cost to society attributable to the increase in the toll? (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest million dollars per year, i.e., no decimal places; there are 52 weeks in a year)

Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt The inverse demand for leather is given by P = 50-0.5Q. The industry supply of leather is determined by its marginal cost: MC = 0.4Q. Unfortunately, the production of leather causes noxious chemical residue to leach into groundwater supplies. The external marginal cost caused by these residues grows with the amount of output, and is measured as EMC = 0.05Q. 1A. How many leather is produced in the free market if the externality is not corrected. B) What is the free market price of the leather if the externality is not corrected? C) What is the social marginal cost?
