a. The external cost is the cost incurred by society when the individual makes the process of production. In this case, the marginal private cost and marginal social costs are given and the difference obtained while subtracting the marginal private cost from the marginal social cost is known as the external cost per unit of production. The external cost per unit of production can be calculated as follows: Thus, the external cost per unit of production is calculated to be $2.b. When there is no regulation in the economy, the business will try to maximize the profit from the market. The profit from the market will be maximized at the point where the marginal cost equals the marginal revenue. In this case, the MR and MC of the private individual will become equal when there is no regulation and from the table, it is identified that the business maximizes its profit at the level of 5 units where the marginal cost equals the marginal benefit at $6.c. Economic efficiency will be achieved when the economy has a price at which the marginal private benefit is equal to the marginal social cost. In the table above, it is observed that the MB is equal to MSC when it produces 4 units of output. At this 4 units level, the marginal private benefit, as well as cost, are equal to $7 each making it an economically efficient output.d. When the tax is imposed, it should increase economic efficiency. In this case, the external cost is calculated to be $2 which is constant throughout the different levels of output. the tax should eliminate the external costs or make the private benefit cover the external costs. Thus, the constant difference between the MR and SMC will be charged as tax which is equal to $2.

3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantity of consumption Consider the market for electric cars. Suppose that a electric car manufacturing facility dumps sludge into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the facility. Producing additional electric cars imposes a constant per-unit external cost of $600. The following graph shows the demand (private value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for electric cars.
