- Scenario 10-1The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 200th gallon of gasoline entails the following: a private cost of $3.03; a social cost of $3.23; a value to consumers of $3.39. Refer to Scenario 10-1. Let QMARKET represent the equilibrium quantity of gasoline, and let QOPTIMUM represent the socially optimal quantity of gasoline. Which of the following inequalities is correct? Group of answer choices QOPTIMUM < QMARKET < 200 QMARKET < 200 < QOPTIMUM 200 < QOPTIMUM < QMARKET QOPTIMUM < 200 < QMARKETThere are two consumers of mosquito abatement (a public good), Dave and Lilly. Dave’s benefit from mosquito abatement is given by ??? = 100 − ?, where Q is the quantity of mosquito abatement. Lilly’s benefit is given by ??? = 60 − ?.a. Calculate the total marginal benefit, ???.b. Suppose that mosquito abatement can be provided at a marginal cost of ?? = 2?. Find the socially optimal level of abatement. c. If mosquito abatement is privately supplied, what quantity will be supplied by Dave, and what quantity will be supplied by Lilly? Briefly explain.Scenario 4 Suppose there are two residents in a neighborhood, Tana and Jason. Tana's demand for clean streets is Q = 100 – 4P. Jason's demand for clean streets is Q = 80 – 2P. If your answer is not a whole number, please make sure to round to the nearest hundredth. Refer to Scenario 4. Find the social demand curve for clean streets in this neighborhood. What is the y-intercept of the social demand curve? (Do not enter a dollar sign in your answer)
- MC Qu. 04-173 Refer to the provided graph. Suppose... Price 0 Quantity S Refer to the provided graph. Suppose consumers do not fully appreciate the benefits of the product whose market is shown in the graph. If an external agency is able to provide full information to consumers about the benefits of the product, thenJust north of the town of Muskrat, Ontario, is the town of Brass Monkey, population 6900. Brass Monkey, like Muskrat, has a single public good, the town skating rink, and a single private good, Labatt Ale. Everyone's utility function is U i = X i - 81 Y where x; is the number of bottles of ale consumed by i and Y is the size of the skating rink in square meters. The price of ale is $1 per bottle. The cost of the skating rink to the city is $6 per square meter. Everyone has an income of at least $5,000. What is the Pareto efficient size for the town skating rink?Consider the market illustrated in the figure to the right. Supply curve S₁ represents the private cost of production and demand curve D₁ represents the private benefit from consumption. Suppose production of this good creates a negative externality. Show how the externality affects the market. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new supply (S₂) or demand (D₂) curve incorporating the negative externality in production. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the market equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'Market equilibrium'. 3.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the efficient equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'Efficient equilibrium'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price Quantity S₁ D₁
- Save The market price of insecticide is initially $10 per unit. To address a negative externality in this market, the government decides to charge producers of insecticide for the privilege of polluting during the production K process. A fee that fully takes into account the social costs of pollution is determined, and once it is put into effect, the market supply curve for insecticide shifts upward by $8 per unit. The market price of insecticide also increases, to $12 per unit. What fee is the government charging insecticide manufacturers? $ (Enter a numeric response using an integer.)Three individuals, Juan, Madison and Hassan, make up the entire market for some private good. Their marginal willingness-to-pay functions for this good are shown below. The marginal cost of providing this good is MC =25 + 0.25Q Juan MWTP = 100 -Q Madison MWTP = 210 - 2.10 Hassan MWTP = 240 - 2.4Q a) Derive the aggregate MWTP function for this private good b) What is the socially-efficient price and quantity? Graph the aggregate MWTP and MC curve, and identify the socially-efficient price and quantity. c) How much of this good will Juan, Madison and Hassan each decide to consume at this price? d) Compute total willingness-to-pay, total cost and net value at the socially-efficient outcome.Consider the market illustrated in the figure to the right. Supply curve S₁ represents the private cost of production and demand curve D₁ represents the private benefit from consumption. Suppose consumption of this good creates a positive externality. Show how the externality affects the market. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new supply (S₂) or demand (D₂) curve incorporating the positive externality in consumption. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the market equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'Market equilibrium'. 3.)

- A local government is considering building new public hiking trails in town.Suppose that the trails are public goods. There are two types of people in a smalltown economy, 1000 avid hikers and 1000 non-hikers, who have typical individualmarginal benefit curves: MB_H = 350 − 5Q and MB_N = 240 − 6Q for the hikersand the non-hikers respectively, where Q is the miles of trails. On the same graph,draw the marginal benefit curves for each type of person and MB of the overalleconomy. If the marginal cost providing this public good is $27000 per mile whatis the optimal level of the public good?Consider the model of a rational consumer that cares about consumption of private goods and consumption of broadcast public television (a public good). Suppose that the total level of broadcast public television provided through voluntary contributions is 10 hours of programming. Then the government decides to raise money through a tax and provide 10 hours of programming to the public. What would we predict about crowd-out of voluntary contributions to broadcast public television when government does this? How would the answer change if consumers get warm glow utility from donating to broadcast public television in addition to utility from the public television itself? (Be specific.)Public Goods. Suppose a neighborhood in Segovia’s central business area is deciding how many fountains they want to see in the main avenue. There is a first group of 20 neighbors and each has a demand Q = 20 − P for fountains. There is a second group of 5 people, and each has a demand Q = 20 − 2P for fountains. The cost of building each fountain is 225. How many fountains are socially optimal? Fountains are public goods. Hint: To obtain the SMB, please first transform the demand functions into “public goods’ valuations” (“isolate P”) and then multiply them by the amount of neighbors per group. Then you can proceed with the vertical summation.
