Genuine Used Cars is a second-hand car dealer with a landscaped yard on a busy highway serving Sydney. The plants used to ‘decorate’ the yardare all high water users. Drought is setting in and the local council has asked businesses to conserve as much water as possible. Town water is still available, bore water may be accessed in fairly shallow bores and the council is encouraging businesses to install underground tanks to conserve rain water. Which source of water should be used to gain the most browniepoints ethically? Should the firm change the plants for more efficient water users?

The free rider problem refers to the temptation of individuals to let others provide the public goods. With relevant example show that purely individualistic mechanisms will not generate the optimal amount of a public good because of the free rider problem
suppose that the utility function of a consumer is given by TU(x,y)=3x2 y and the price of x and y are $1 and $2 per unit, respectively. if the income of the consumer is $600 and if he spends all of his income on the consumption of commodities of x and y, find the optimum amount of x and y that the consumer will consume at equilibrium and find MRTSx,y.
