Suppose that a textbook publisher faces a downward-sloping demand curve. let p(q) be the price for the textbooks and q be the number of copies of the textbook. compare the equilibria for the following compensation methods in which the author receives the same total compensation from each method: a. the author is paid a lump sum, upper l 1. b. the author is paid alpha 1 share of the revenue. c. the author receives a lump-sum payment, upper l 2, and a alpha 2 share of the revenue. let c(q) be the cost of producing textbooks, mc be marginal cost, and demand be linear and equal to p(q)equalsaminusbq. the equilibrium quantity with the author receiving a lump sum of upper l 1 is qequals nothing. (properly format your expression using the tools in the palette.)

Consider the following scenarios. use what you have learned to decide if the goods and services being provided are individual, public, or merit goods. for each case, state what kind of good has been described and explain your answer using the definitions of individual, public, and merit goods. (6 points each) 1. from your window, you can see a city block that's on fire. you watch city firefighters rescue people and battle the flames to save the buildings. 2. while visiting relatives, you learn that your cousins attend a nearby elementary school that is supported financially by local property tax revenue. 3. you see a squadron of military jets flying overhead. 4. you find out that your aunt works for a defense manufacturing company that has several defense contracts with the government. she tells you that she works for a team that is producing a communications satellite. 5. your class visits a local jail run by a private, profit-making company that detains county criminals and is paid with tax revenue.
