3. slope suppose you are given the following data on
wage rates and number of hours worked:
point
hourly wage
hours worked per week
a. construct and label a set of axes and plot these six
points. label each point a, b, c, and so on. which
variable do you think should be measured on the
vertical axis, and which variable should be mea-
sured on the horizontal axis?
b. connect the points. describe the resulting curve.
does it make sense to you?
c. compute the slope of the curve between points a
and b. between points b and c. between points c
and d. between points d and e. between points e
and f. what happens to the slope as you move from
point a to point f?

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
