Landfill Liner Question for University Students
You are designing a new hazardous waste landfill. You must decide whether it is worth spending $1,000,000 to install a special liner that reduces the probability of a leak from 0.001 to 0.0001. If a leak happens the expected number of fatal cancers can be expected to rise a total of 100. What value of a fatal cancer (in $) is necessary to justify the installation of the special liner. Assume risk neutrality.
