Saving the Glaciers

The glaciers have been disappearing from Glacier National Park in Montana and adjoining Waterton National Park in Canada. In 1850, Glacier is said to have had 150 glaciers; in 2006 there were 27. In response to this trend, various organizations petitioned for the parks to be designated endangered by being placed on the danger list of the World Heritage Committee. As one report says,

Endangered status would require the World Heritage Committee to find ways to mitigate how climate change affects the park, [the law professor who wrote the petition] said . . . Better fuel efficiency for automobiles and stronger energy efficiency standards for buildings and appliances are among the ways to reduce greenhouse pollution that contributes to warming, the petition [said].

But some denounced the petition as unnecessary and unsupported by scientific data, while one group of scientists estimated that if climate trends continue, Glacier Park’s glaciers will disappear completely by 2030.

Justify your answers: Suppose the glaciers’ melting would have no appreciable effect on the environ- ment except that they would no longer exist. Would conservationists still be justified in trying to save the glaciers? If so, how could they justify their efforts? If not, why not? Suppose the glaciers could be saved only if the government spends $10 billion on pollution controls—money that would have to be taken away from social programs. Would this cost be worth it? Why or why not? Using the utilitarian Theory

A small equipment rental facility has nine appliance dollies. There are 14 customers every day who request this equipment. If the equipment is not available, they leave and go to a competing rental facility. Customers arrive evenly over a 12-hour period (6am to 6pm), 7 days per week. The average rental duration is 6 hours.

a. What is the likelihood that a customer going to the rental facility will find an appliance dolly available?

b. Assume each 6-hour rental is $10. How much revenue does the store make per week from the dollies?

c. Assume that a promotional campaign gives gift card worth $5 if the dolly is unavailable. What is the total gift card value that the store will have to issue on average per week?

d. What would be the payback time (not considering interest rates) in days for purchasing an additional dolly at $200?
