Suppose the marginal damage and marginal benefit curves in a polluted neighborhood are md = p/3 and mb = 4 – p. also, suppose that transactions costs are low, so that the consumers and the firm can bargain. we saw that in this case, the socially-optimal level of pollution is achieved. start by computing the socially-optimal p. then, for each of the following cases, compute the amount of money transferred through the bargaining process, and indicate who pays whom (i.e., whether consumers pay the firm, or vice versa). also, compute the gains to each party relative to the status quo (i.e., the starting point of the bargaining process).a)consumers have the right to clean air; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.b)consumers have the right to clean air; consumers are dominant in the bargaining process.c)firm has the right to pollute; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.d)firm has the right to pollute; consumers are dominant in the bargaining proces

Solomon chemical company makes three products, b7, k6, and x9, which are joint products from the same materials. in a standard batch of 320,000 pounds of raw materials, the company generates 70,000 pounds of b7, 150,000 pounds of k6, and 100,000 pounds of x9. a standard batch costs $3,840,000 to produce. the sales prices per pound are $10, $14, and $20 for b7, k6, and x9, respectively. (a) allocate the joint product cost among the three final products using weight as the allocation base. (b) allocate the joint product cost among the three final products using market value as the allocation base. (c) allocate the joint product cost among the three final products using weight as the allocation base.
