Your company wants to do their part to reduce pollution. They commit to reducing their greenhouse gasses by 12 tons per year. The company can pay for a reforestation project carbon offset at $8 per ton. Or you can modify your production by abating a ton of pollution.The marginal cost of abating the first ton of greenhouse pollution is $4 with each additionalabated ton costing $1 more (i.e. $5,$6, etc). How much will it cost in total to abate the 12 tons without using the reforestation offsets? What is the best combination, cost wise, using abatement and reforestation offsets? How much does the company save by using the offsets?
Assume the relationship between the growth of a fish population and the population size can be represented as g= 8S – 0.2S2, where g is the growth in tons and S is the size of the population (in thousands of tons) a. Given a price of $100 a ton of fish, what is the marginal benefit of smaller population sizes? b. Estimate the population size that is compatible with the maximum sustainable yield. What would be the size of the annual catch if the population were to be sustained at this level? c. If the marginal cost of additional catches (represented in terms of the population size) is MC= 3(120-S), what is the population size that is compatible with the efficient sustainable yield? d. Is there a difference between the maximum sustainable yield you calculated in part (b) and the efficient sustainable yield in part (c)? Why or why not? Explain briefly (in 1 paragraph or less)

[A] Suppose that a drug company has developed an ointment that can be used to treat sores and reduce scarring. Surveys indicated that the ointment, which costs $10,000 for a full course of treatment, can improve the quality of life from 0.6 to 0.7 for patients with this problem. Assume that this population has a life expectancy of 70 years. No need to worry about discounting. 1. What is the Incremental Cost-Utility Ratio (ICUR) for taking the ointment over doing nothing for a typical 20-year-old patient? [Hint: This patient has only 50 years of life remaining.] 2. If the cost-effectiveness threshold is $5,000 per QALYS, will the 20-year-old patient choose to get the ointment? What about a 60-year-old patient? [B] Is it appropriate to evaluate a healthcare intervention using various methods of economic evaluation as discussed in this course, or should we choose one primary method that best fits the analysis?
Q. 2 (PLEASE DO THIS IN EXCEL) Hannah Byers and Kathleen Taylor are considering the possibility of teaching swimming to kids during the summer. A local swim club opens its pool at noon each day, so it is available to rent during the morning. The cost of renting the pool during the 10-week period for which Hannah and Kathleen would need it is $1,700. The pool would also charge Hannah and Kathleen an admission, towel service, and life guarding fee of $7 per student, and Hannah and Kathleen estimate an additional $5 cost per student to hire several assistants. Hannah and Kathleen plan to charge $75 per student for the 10-week swimming class. a. How many students do Hannah and Kathleen need to enroll in their class to break-even? b. If Hannah and Kathleen want to make a profit of $5000 for the summer, how many students do they need to enroll? c. Hannah and Kathleen estimate that they might not be able to enroll more than 60 students. If they enroll this many students, how much would…
