Consider the City of Widgetapolis with Only Four

question 30

True/False

Table 11-2
Consider the city of Widgetapolis with only four residents, John, James, Mary, and Lydia. The four residents are trying to determine how many hours to spend in cleaning up the public lake. The table below shows each resident's willingness to pay for each hour of cleaning.
​
$$\begin{array} { l l l l l } \hline \text { Hours } & \text { John } & \text { James } & \text { Mary } & \text { Lydia } \\\hline 1 & \$ 30 & \$ 50 & \$ 40 & \$ 10 \\2 & 25 & 40 & 37 & 9 \\3 & 20 & 30 & 34 & 8 \\4 & 15 & 20 & 30 & 7 \\5 & 9 & 10 & 25 & 6 \\6 & 3 & 0 & 15 & 5 \\7 & 0 & 0 & 5 & 4 \\\hline\end{array}$$ ​
-Refer to Table 11-2. Suppose the cost to clean the lake is $32 per hour and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of cleaning the lake equally. It would maximize Lydia's surplus if 6 hours of cleaning is done.

Definitions:

Anaerobic Activity

Physical activity that occurs in the absence of enough oxygen for the complete burning of sugars, resulting in lactic acid production.

Slow-twitch Fibers

Muscle fibers characterized by their ability to sustain long endurance activities; they fatigue slower compared to fast-twitch fibers and are rich in mitochondria.

Muscular Strength

The maximal force that a muscle or group of muscles can exert against resistance in a single effort.

Anaerobic Respiration

A form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen. It often occurs in bacteria and in muscle cells where oxygen is scarce.
