1)      Surrounding the Great Lake are four paper-mills, each producing 100 tons of paper per year. The paper is sold on the national market for $2 per ton, and including all the costs of production, costs for each firm are $1 per ton. Thus each firm earns a pure economic profit of $1 per ton. These paper mills require fresh water to operate and also produce a pollutant, which they dump into the Great Lake. New paper mills can also locate on the Great Lake, and produce at a base cost of $1 per ton. However, for each new paper mill which arrives (i.e., starting with the 5th mill), the water will become more polluted, and each firm will have to install a water treatment facility to obtain fresh water. This externality associated with new plants will raise the costs of paper production at all facilities, including the new one, by $.15 per ton for each new mill.

a. Fill in the table below to help you with your answers. which compares average revenues with average and marginal costs as new firms locate around the lake. (2 points)

b. Assume there is free access to the Great Lake. If paper mills will continue to locate as long as their is any economic profit to be earned, how many new mills will be built (i.e., the open access solution? (2 points)

c. What is the number of mills that maximizes total combined profits for the paper producers? (Hint: Average revenue remains constant at $2 (i.e, the efficient solution)?. What are these profits (resource rents) if the efficient solution? (2 points)

d. Suppose that government regulation reduced the number of mills by one from the number that would have resulted given free access. Show that the increase in profits to the remaining firms (the resource rent) is sufficient to compensate the firm that is denied access its lost profits. (2 points)

2) Suppose the state is trying to decide how many miles of a scenic river it should preserve. There are 100 people in the community, each of whom has an identical inverse demand function given by P=10-1.0q, where q is the number of miles preserved and P is the per-mile-price he or she is willing to pay for the q miles of preserved river. If the marginal cost of preservation is $500 per mile, how many miles would be preserved in an efficient allocation? (2 points)

Required

2. Determine the sales price and sales volume variances( calculate the sales volumes variance based on budgeted contribution margin).
3. Determine the market share and market size variances based on contribution margin.

Capital budgeting criteria: ethical considerations

An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would cost $210.55 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $70 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $75.77 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACC is 19%.

1. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
   NPV $   million
   IRR  %

   Calculate the NPV and IRR without mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
   NPV $   million
   IRR  %

2. How should the environmental effects be dealt with when evaluating this project?
   1. The environmental effects should be treated as a remote possibility and should only be considered at the time in which they actually occur.
   2. The environmental effects if not mitigated would result in additional cash flows. Therefore, since the plant is legal without mitigation, there are no benefits to performing a "no mitigation" analysis.
   3. The environmental effects should be ignored since the plant is legal without mitigation.
   4. The environmental effects should be treated as a sunk cost and therefore ignored.
   5. If the utility mitigates for the environmental effects, the project is not acceptable. However, before the company chooses to do the project without mitigation, it needs to make sure that any costs of "ill will" for not mitigating for the environmental effects have been considered in that analysis.
   
   -Select-IIIIIIIVVItem 5
3. Should this project be undertaken?
   1. The project should be undertaken only if they do not mitigate for the environmental effects. However, they want to make sure that they've done the analysis properly due to any "ill will" that might result from undertaking the project without concern for the environmental impacts.
   2. The project should be undertaken only under the "mitigation" assumption.
   3. The project should be undertaken since the IRR is positive under both the "mitigation" and "no mitigation" assumptions.
   4. The project should be undertaken since the NPV is positive under both the "mitigation" and "no mitigation" assumptions.
   5. Even when no mitigation is considered the project has a negative NPV, so it should not be undertaken.
