The town of Smallsville is considering building a museum. The interest on the money Smallsville will have to borrow to build the

museum will be $1,000 per year. Each citizen's marginal benefit from the museum is shown in the following table, and this marginal benefit schedule is public information.
Citizen Marginal benefit from museum ($/year)
Anita…………………………. 340
Brandon…………………………. 290
Carlena…………………………. 240
Dallas…………………………. 190
Eloise…………………………. 140
a. Assuming each citizen voted his or her private interests, would a referendum to build the museum and raise each citizen's annual taxes by $200 pass?
b. A citizen proposes that the city let a private company build the museum and charge the citizens a lump-sum fee each year to view it as much as they like. Only citizens who paid the fee would be allowed to view the museum. If the private company were allowed to set a single fee, would any company offer to build the museum?
c. A second citizen proposes allowing the private company to charge different prices to different citizens and auctioning the right to build the museum to the highest bidding company. Again, only the citizens who pay the fee may view the museum. What is the highest bid a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville?

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. This has been solved and attached.

Note that the net benefits was calculated as:

= Marginal benefit - $200

b. Looking at the table and information provided in the attachment, we would see that no company offer to build the museum because since their cost of $1000 can't be covered by the revenue generated. The highest revenue gotten for the single price monopolist is $760 and this can't even cover their cost.

c. Based on the scenario given in (c), the highest revenue the price discriminating monopolist would make is $1200 and coupled with the fact that the cost is $1000, the maximum bid that a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville is $200 ($1200 - $1000)

What is the term for when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want​
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Productive (technical) inefficiency.

Explanation:

A market failure can be defined as a situation in which the market fails to produce an efficient level of productivity or output that is required to meet consumer demand.

This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market.

In Economics, there are two types of inefficiency associated with the production of goods and services, these includes;

1. Allocative inefficiency: it occurs when businesses do not maximise output from the given inputs. Thus, it arises when businesses fail to increase the level of their production or productivity from a number of given inputs.

In conclusion, allocative inefficiency typically occurs when the price of a good or service isn't equal to its marginal cost i.e P ≠ MC.

2. Productive (technical) inefficiency: it occurs when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want.​ This is typically as a result of the incorrect and inefficient allocation of scarce resources by a business firm or entity.

A promise or order is only considered negotiable if ________. it states that the promise or order is subject to or governed by a
julia-pushkina [17]

For a promise or order to be considered negotiable, it must of a necessity be an unconditional order for payment. Unlike deals where satisfaction with the goods being purchased is prerequisite for payment, for a negotiable promise or order, payment cannot depend upon any condition or contract.
