4. suppose that pollution in a neighborhood comes from two factories, with marginal benefit curves given by mb1 = 12 – p1 and mb2 = 8 – p2. the level of pollution in the neighborhood is given by p = p1 + p2. the government wants to limit pollution by instituting a pollution-rights market. the government’s desired level of p is 10, so it prints 10 pollution rights and offers them for sale to the firms.a)find the equilibrium selling price of a pollution right, as well as the allocation of rights (and hence pollution levels) across the two factories. b)repeat part (a) for the case where the government’s desired level of pollution equals 14. c)comment on the usefulness of a pollution rights market in achieving efficient levels of pollution abatement.

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5-10 sentences. you are the owner of a small business that is a defendant in a lawsuit in federal court. you received bad news from your lawyer that the judge did not allow certain documents to be admitted as evidence in court and that the jury reached a $50,000 verdict in favor of the plaintiff. your lawyer tells you that it is within your legal right to hire him to file an appeal with the united states court of appeals. if the appellate court rules in your favor, you may be able to avoid paying part or all of the $50,000. evaluate your lawyer’s suggestion about appealing the decision.

With q7 assume the sweet company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with machine-hours as the allocation base.and for q 10,11,13,and 14,assume that the company use department predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation bade in both departements.7. assume that sweeten company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. what selling price would the company have established for jobs p and q? what are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis assuming 20 units were produced for job p and 30 units were produced for job q? (do not round intermediate calculations. round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)total price for the job for job p -job q selling price per unit for job p q . how much manufacturing overhead was applied from the molding department to job p and how much was applied to job q? (do not round intermediate calculations.) job p job q manufacturing overhead applied for job p for job q . how much manufacturing overhead was applied from the fabrication department to job p and how much was applied to job q? (do not round intermediate calculations.)job p job q manufacturing overhead applied for job p for job q . if job q included 30 units, what was its unit product cost?
