The geography and location (climate topography water resources soils etc.) of Haiti Its level of economic development (developed developing resources major industries) Urbanization (major cities, movements) Transportation History (Brief) Social Cultural implications Political The impact of humans on the environment differs among countries and regions. Analyze the population change of two of the countries in the list below and identify the environmental problems relating to this change. Select one country from each list In this report, you will need to analyze and explain the changes in the population structure in your chosen countries.Select two countries, one country from each section to analyze for your report. Select one country from the list below Haiti Collect research material relating to your chosen countries demography and environmental problems. Tasks 1. Introduction to your chosen countries. This should include but is not limited to: The geography and location (climate topography water resources soils etc.) of your country Its level of economic development (developed developing resources major industries) Urbanization (major cities, movements) Transportation History (Brief) Social Cultural implications Political Task 2 From the information collected produce a written analysis of the changes that have taken place in both your countries population structure. Give reasons for these changes and try to predict possible future trends (look at a past population rates, present and how they will change in the future use maybe a thirty-year span). In this analysis, areas which have to be included (but not limited to) are Birth rates Death rates Natural increase rates Patterns of migration (regional national international) Age structure Fertility rates Infant mortality rates Population density Life expectancy Task 3 The second part of your report will focus upon the environmental problems faced by your chosen countries. You will need to explain the major environmental problems that your countries face, the sources of these problems and specific examples within the countries. You need to use illustrations maps, graphs etc. to enhance your work in this section This could include topic areas such as (but not limited to): Air pollution Water pollution Soil erosion Problems relating to urban expansion Waste problems Destruction of habitats Task 4 The conclusion of your report should focus on what was identified in part one and two. You need to look at the similarities and differences between your two countries. You should conclude the paper stating how you think the changes in demographic structure (identified in task 2) in both countries would affect the environmental problems (identified in task 3) or how the environmental problems will affect in the future demographic structure
In Autarka, cardboard boxes are sold in bundles of 100 . At present, the market price for a bundle of boxes is $32. The technology for manufacturing cardboard boxes is readily available and common to all manufacturers. The cost of plant and machinery for a firm in the box manufacturing business is $8,500,000 per year. The labour, material, and energy cost of producing a bundle of 100 boxes is $23. A market study indicates that demand for cardboard boxes is given by the function, P=46.81,000,000Q. where P represents the price of a bundle of 100 boxes, and Q is the total number of bundles of boxes sold each year. 3.1 Required steps When completing the industry analysis you should assume that firms are engaged in Cournot Competition. Step 1: Using the information provided in the scenario, derive a total cost function for a typical cardboard box manufacturer. Use QA to denote the quantity produced by the typical firm. (4 marks) Step 2: Derive a profit function for the typical firm. Use X to denote the combined production of the remaining three firms in the market. ( 6 marks) Step 3: Find the profit of the typical firm if all firm's in the market sell at the current market price of $32. ( 8 marks) Step 4: Find the consumer surplus if all firm's in the market sell at the current market price of $32. (6 marks) Step 5: Derive the typical firm's best-response function. (8 marks) Step 6: Find the equilibrium quantity and profit for the typical firm. (11 marks) Step 7: Find the equilibrium price and consumer surplus. ( 7 marks)
