The country of Lessidinia has a tax system identical to that of the United States. Suppose someone in Lessidinia bought a parcel of land for 20,000 foci (the local currency) in 1960 when the price index equaled 100. In 2002, the person sold the land for 100,000 foci, and the price index equaled 600. The tax rate on nominal gains was 20 percent. Compute the taxes on the nominal gain and the change in the real value of the land in terms of 2002 prices to find the after-tax real rate of capital gain.

4. suppose that pollution in a neighborhood comes from two factories, with marginal benefit curves given by mb1 = 12 – p1 and mb2 = 8 – p2. the level of pollution in the neighborhood is given by p = p1 + p2. the government wants to limit pollution by instituting a pollution-rights market. the government’s desired level of p is 10, so it prints 10 pollution rights and offers them for sale to the firms.a)find the equilibrium selling price of a pollution right, as well as the allocation of rights (and hence pollution levels) across the two factories. b)repeat part (a) for the case where the government’s desired level of pollution equals 14. c)comment on the usefulness of a pollution rights market in achieving efficient levels of pollution abatement.
