Consider a monocentric city where the cost of commuting is $40 per mile per month. A household located eight miles from the city center occupies a dwell- ing with 1,000 square feet at a monthly rent of $600. Nonland cost per dwelling is $250, and there are 10 houses per hectare. a. The price of housi
