1 Negative Externality Suppose that the private market for widgets is characterized by the following supply and inverse demand functions: D: P = 10-Q S: P = Q 1. Graph these functions in P/Q space. Locate the private market equilibrium price and quantity. 2. Now suppose that the EPA calculates that the marginal external cost of widget production is cha- racterized by: MD = $2. Graph the market with the externality and locate the the socially efficient equilibrium. How much dead weight loss was produced by the private market. = 3. Now suppose that the EPA revises their MEC estimate to: MD Q. Graph the market with the externality and locate the socially efficient equilibrium. Compare this with the outcome from part 2.

Consider a manufactured good whose production process generates pollution. The demand for the product is Q=100-3P. The market supply function is Q=P. The marginal external cost is MEC=2Q. What is the emissions tax that needs to be imposed to achieve the social optimum? Illustrate on graph What is the economic incidence of this emissions tax? In other words, what proportion of this tax will be paid by producers of this product and what proportion of the tax will be paid by consumers?
A negative externality means the quantity in the market is _____ the allocatively efficient quanitity and can be corrected by a _____. A positive externality means the quantity in the market is _____ the allocatively efficient quantity and can be corrected by a ______. Word Bank: Larger than, tax, smaller than, subsidy, smaller than, equal to, subsidy, larger than, equal to, tax.
I do not understand how to get the answer. please explain!
By imposing a tax on the production of electricity equal to the cost of acid rain, the government will cause electric utilities to internalize the externality. As a consequence, the cost of the acid rain will become a OA. social cost borne by the public, and the demand curve for electricity will shift down. OB. social cost borne by the public, and the demand curve for electricity will shift up. C. private cost borne by the utilities, and the supply curve for electricity will shift down. D. private cost borne by the utilities, and the supply curve for electricity will shift up. Question Viewer
Let Q be the quantity of natural gas in tons from fracking. Assume fracking imposes a negative externality of $24 per ton. The private demand for natural gas from fracking is P = 200 - 4Q while the private supply curve is P = 20 + 2Q. If the government imposes a $24 tax per ton of natural gas from fracking, what is the change in the total surplus from before to after the imposition of the tax? O -$672. O $48. O $672. -$48.
2. The PMB associated with a product's consumption is PMB-SMB = 360 - 4Q and the PMC = 6Q. The marginal external damage associated with this good's production is MD=2Q. To correct the externality, the government decides to impose a tax of $T per unit sold. | a) What is the level of production without pollution? b) What is the socially optimal level of production? c) What tax should the government set to achieve the social optimum? d) Explain the difference in the two values in (a) and (b)?
Consider a market with the following supply and demand. (It may help to draw a graph for these questions.)

Now imagine that they use tradable allowances. If they cap the quantity at 400 what would the value of these allowance be in the market? (Assume the market is perfectly competitive and that "one allowance" lets you produce one unit of the good.) 2. What will they be worth if the quantity is capped at 500? 3. What if it is capped at 700?
2. Consider the following free market. $300 $200 $100 500 1200 Quantity i. Calculate consumer and producer surplus in this market. ii. If the marginal external cost of production is $10, the socially optimal quantity is 400 and the socially optimal price is $205. Show the new consumer and producer surplus and calculate them. Also show the deadweight loss on the graph and calculate it.
