Answer:

Like the title of the article states, all economy relayed choices are the results of an incentive or disincentive a potential polluter faces. He gave the example of the Lake Erie, stating that is highly reasonable (although highly unethical) it is polluted, as it is financially efficient to simply dump garbage in the lake, rather than invest in a recycling or waste management system. He also added, that since the lake is a public good, no one will look at the pollution as a serious concern, since it isn't owned by anybody.

All of this implies that a structured, incentive system has to be created in order to curb pollution.

Total = $19,500

Budget total = $20,160

Estimated cash payment = $20,160 - $4,500 = $15,660

ROI=11.70%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION MARGIN

Margin =$ 83,475 / $ 2,385,000

Unit sales to break even= 37,500 balls

Therefore the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls will be 37,500 balls
