2. A perfectly competitive market exists for almonds. Demand for almonds is Q= 200 – P where P is the price of almonds and Q is the total quantity of almonds. The private total Q? The production of almonds cost for the unregulated market is C 50 + 80Q + Q² First, solve for the 2 creates an externality where the total external cost is E = Pigouvian tax (per unit of output of almonds) that results in the social optimum. Suppose that one company, MegaAlmonds, becomes a monopolist in the production of almonds. What is the optimal tax that should be placed on the almonds in this case?
BN12.2 (a) Case: The market for dry cleaning is reflected by the demand and supply curves (Q is in thousands): Pa = 5-Q Ps= 2+2Q Producing dry cleaning creates ground water pollution with a constant marginal external cost of 1.2. Question: (a) Sketch a graph that shows the Dsoc, Spriv, Ssoc, Qopt (societal perspective) and DWL in an unregulated market (No need to label the values in the graph)?

Only typed answer You are an industry analyst that specializes in an industry where the market inverse demand is P = 100 - 3Q. The external marginal cost of producing the product is MCExternal = 6Q, and the internal cost is MCInternal = 14Q. Instruction: Round your answers to the nearest two decimal places. a. What is the socially efficient level of output? units b. Given these costs and market demand, how much output would a competitive industry produce? units c. Given these costs and market demand, how much output would a monopolist produce? units d. Which of the following are actions the government could take to induce firms in this industry to produce the socially efficient level of output. Instructions: You may select more than one answer.

If there is an external benefit of $3, what is the efficient quantity? For the remaining questions assume that there is a $3 external COST. If the government wants to get the efficient quantity with a per/unit tax, how much should the tax be? 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…

Refer to Figure. Which of the following statements is correct? Price 22 24 22 81 18 16 Social cost (private cost and external cost) Supply (private cost) Demand (private value) 120 160 Quantity a. The private cost of producing the 160th unit of output is $16 b. The social cost of producing the 160th unit of output is $22. c. d. The external cost of producing the 160th unit of output is $6. All of the above are correct.
BN12.2 (d) (e) Case: The market for dry cleaning is reflected by the demand and supply curves (Q is in thousands): Pa = 5-Q Ps= 2 + 2Q Producing dry cleaning creates ground water pollution with a constant marginal external cost of 1.2. Question: (d) What is the equilibrium price and quantity if the government decides to impose a per-unit tax of $1.20 is added to dry cleaning? (e) Does the tax cause a Pareto improvement? (Use the definition of a Pareto improvement to justify the answer.)

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?
