Suppose the total benefit & total cost from a continuous activity are given by the two equations
1) B(X) = 100 + 36X - 4X^2
And
2) C(X) = 80 + 12X
A) What are the net benefits when X =1? x=5?
B) What are the marginal net benefits when X= 1? X=5?
C) What level of X maximizes net benefit?
D) At the value of X that maxes net benefits, what is the value of marginal net benefits? What is the relation between marginal benefit and marginal cost at this level?

Explain graphically, for the case of a continuous environmental harm, the validity of cost/benefit analysis. That is assume there is a continuous variable called environmental quality. There are two functions, a concave total benefits function and a convex total costs function. Graph these functions. Show graphically the quan- tity that maximizes net benefits. Find the relationship between marginal costs and benefits at this level. In general what assump- tions are implicit in such an analysis? What role does cost-benefit analysis...
