Assignment:

E coli is a bacteria that is often found in beef and can cause severe illness or death if it is ingested. However, if beef is cooked until it is well-done the bacteria will be killed and will not pose harm to humans. The beef industry is composed of a small number of large slaughterhouses and large number of small slaughterhouses. Assume the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considering implementing a regulation that will require each beef slaughterhouse to prepare and send them an annual report on efforts to control E coli at the slaughterhouse. It has been estimated that the report (and associated recordkeeping) will cost each slaughterhouse, regardless of size, $10,000 per year.
