a. Assume that a society is composed of two polluters, with the marginal abatement costs of polluters 1 and 2, respectively, equal to:

MAC1 = 18 – E1

MAC2 = 12 – 2E2

Where MAC1 refers to the marginal abatement costs of polluter 1, and E1 refers to the level of emissions of polluter 1. What is the unregulated level of pollution for each polluter? Find the total level of emissions that would be generated if a per-unit pollution tax of four dollars were imposed. Perform the same exercise for taxes of six dollars and eight dollars.

b. Given the same two marginal abatement cost function in part (a), find the market price of a marketable pollution permit if pollution was limited to eighteen units through the issuance of marketable pollution permits. Assume initially that each polluter is given nine permits (that allow 1 unit of pollution each).

c. Given a societal marginal abatement cost function of:

MAC = 100 – 3E

and a societal marginal damage function of:

MD = 2E,

find the optimal level of pollution and the per-unit pollution tax that would achieve it.

d. MAC1 and MAC2 are two different societal marginal abatement cost functions. Which one is more likely to be associated with an optimal level of pollution that is at or near zero? Why?

MAC1 = 10 – 0.2E

MAC2 = 1/E

Huddell Company, which is both a wholesaler and retailer, purchases merchandise from various suppliers. The dollar-value LIFO method is used for the wholesale inventors. Huddell determines the estimated cost of its retail ending inventories using the conventional retail inventory method, which approximates lower average cost or market.

1. a. What are the advantages of using the dollar-value LIFO method A opposed to the traditional LIFO method?

b. How does the application of the dollar-value LIFO method differ from the application of the traditional LIFO method?

2. a. In the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage used to determine the estimated cost of its ending inventories, how should Huddell use: Net Markups? Net Markdowns?

b. Why does Huddell's retail inventory mehod approximate lower of average cost or market?

Company XYZ a baby ware makes company servers three regions near Iowa and maintains consignment inventory (owned by ZZY) at each location. Currently. ZZy uses refrigerated TL transportation to deliver separately to each customer. Each truck costs $700 plus $150 per stop. KAR Food is considering aggregating deliveries to Iowa on a single truck. A careful study of the sales regions revealed three large customers, three medium-sized customers, and ten small customers. Demand at the large customer is 60 tons a year, demand at the medium customer is 24 tons per year, and demand at the small customer is 8 tons per year. Product cost for ZZZY Company is $10,000 per ton, and it uses an annual holding cost of 25 percent. Truck capacity is 12 tons.

a. What is the annual transportation and holding cost if ZZY ships a full truckload to each customer when they are running out of stock?

b. What is the optimal delivery policy to each customer if ZZY Company ships separately to each of them? What is the annual transportation and holding cost?

c. What is the optimal delivery policy to each customer if ZZY Company aggregates shipments to each of the three customers on every truck that goes to Iowa? What is the annual transportation and holding cost?

d. Can you come up with a tailored policy that has lower costs than the policies in (b) or (c)? What are the costs and inventories for your suggested policy?
