Pacific Gravel and Excavating, LLC operates a gravel and cement plant. The neighboring landowners sued the company for damages and injunction relief, claiming that their properties were injured by the dirt, dost, smoke, and vibrations coming from the plant. A lower court found that the plant constituted nuisance and awarded temporary damages but refused to grant an injunction relief because the benefits of operating the plant outweighed the harm to the neighboring landowners. The landowners appealed the lower court’s decision. Does the plant’s activity constitute a nuisance? Should the plant be shut down?

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
