Suppose that producing a bicycle generates no environmental degradation, while buying and riding a bicycle (consumption) help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, producing, buying and driving a car do generate greenhouse gas emissions. Based on this information, for each economic activity, first discuss whether there is externality and what type of externality it is and explain why (e.g., production/consumption of cars/bicycles leads to positive/negative/no production/consumption externality because … … …). When explaining your reasoning, make sure you relate your specific answer to the definition of externalities. Then, for each economic activity given above (e.g., production/consumption of cars/bicycles), compare private costs and benefits with the true cost and benefit to society

Give one example of a government-imposed price control and explain:

1. how it works,
2. a situation in the marketplace in which you have seen it occurring, and

The Malaysian economy has gone through structural transformation, explain the transformation steps of Malaysian economy from being agricultural economy to manufacturing as the engine of economic growth and to the service sector as the engine of economic growth in terms of macroeconomic variable conurbation of every sector to the Gross Demotic Product (GDP), employment generation exports and valued added.

). Use incremental analysis to compare the two project options shown below. The number of periods is 10 and the MARR is 7%

1. Use NPW analysis to determine the internal rate of return for the incremental cash flow (15 points).
   1. Calculate the incremental cash flow and show your results in the column provided above.
   2. Write an equation for NPW for the delta column.
   3. Solve for NPW of the delta column using a variety of interest rates. Tabulate your results. Continue solving for NPW until you find the two particular interest rates (using the interest tables in the back of your textbook) where one interest rate yields a negative NPW and the interest rate on the next page yields a positive NPW.
   4. Based on the results from part iii, state the range of interest rates for ∆IRR. For example, x% < ∆IRR < y%.

Determine which option should be selected, based on the incremental analysis. State why (

Suppose the production function of PowerGuns Co. is given by Q = 25LK

where Q is the quantity of guns produced in the month, L is the number of workers employed, and K is the number of machines used in the production. The monthly wage rate is $3,000 per worker and the monthly rental rate for a machine is $6,000. Currently PowerGuns Co. employs 25 workers and 40 machines. Assume perfect divisibility of labor and machines.

1. What is the total cost of the current production of PowerGuns in a month? What is the average cost to produce a shooting gun? Assuming the number of machines does not change, what is the marginal cost of producing one additional gun?

2. What is the law of diminishing returns? Does this production display this characteristic? Explain.
