Suppose that a major city’s main thoroughfare, which is also an interstate highway, will be completely closed to traffic for two years, from january 2014 to december 2015, for reconstruction at a cost of $535 million. if the construction company were to keep the highway open for traffic during construction, the highway reconstruction project would take much longer and be more expensive. suppose that construction would take four years if the highway were kept open, at a total cost of $800 million. the state department of transportation had to make its decision in 2014, one year before the start of construction (so that the first payment was one year away). so the department of transportation had the following choices: (i) close the highway during construction, at an annual cost of $267.5 million per year for two years. (ii) keep the highway open during construction, at an annual cost of $200 million per year for four years. now suppose the interest rate is 80%. calculate the present value of the costs incurred under each plan.

10. problems and applications q10 a market is described by the following supply-and-demand curves: qsqs = = 2p2p qdqd = = 300â’p300â’p the equilibrium price is $ and the equilibrium quantity is . suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $90. this price ceiling is , and the market price will be $ . the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . therefore, a price ceiling of $90 will result in . suppose the government imposes a price floor of $90. this price floor is , and the market price will be $ . the quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . therefore, a price floor of $90 will result in . instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $30. as a result, the new supply curve is: qsqs = = 2(pâ’30)2pâ’30 with this tax, the market price will be $ , the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . the passage of such tax will result in .
