4. 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. a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in a market with no environmental policy? Graph your answer. b. What is the deadweight loss from the pollution damage. Label this on your graph. c. What is the socially optimal quantity of the good and the socially optimal price? Label on your graph. What is the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply at this optimum?

The many identical residents of Whoville love drinking Zlurp. Each resident has the following willingness to pay for the tasty refreshment: First bottle Second bottle Third bottle Fourth bottle Fifth bottle Further bottles $14 $4 The cost of producing Zlurp is $1.50, and the competitive suppliers sell it at this price. (The supply curve is horizontal.) Producing Zlurp creates pollution. Each bottle has an external cost of $1. Taking this additional cost into account, what is total surplus per person? $8 $5 $4.5 3 2

Please explain both statements in detail with graphs and examples. "When external benefits exist, maximizing private profits produces less than the social optimum" and "when external costs exist, maximizing private profits produces more than the social optimum".
Suppose Scott and Bob live on the same street. in the winter, both of them like their street plowed. Bob's demand is given by 0 = 40 - P, and Scott's demand is gren by 0 = 30 - 2P. Suppose the marginal cost of plowing the snow is constant at $35 (a) What is the social marginal benefit curve? (b) What is the socially efficient amount of plowing? (c) What would be the socially efficient amount of plowing if the marginal cost of plowing were $5?

9. 9. Suppose that a local airport is near a residential neighborhood. To land at this airport, an airliner must pay $53. To soundproof the local homes, so residents do not hear airplanes all hours of the day, residents must pay $50. What is the private cost for a plane to land at this airport? What is the external cost of a plane landing at the airport? 9. < Previous What is the social cost of a plane landing at the airport? Next X
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.

. Draw a graph for a market where a negative externality occurs. Show the market supply curve and the market outcomes for price and quantity. Show the supply curve that takes all the costs in to account. Show the price and quantity that would be best for society when we take all the costs of production and consumption in to account.
The graph shows the unregulated market for electricity. Suppose that at every quantity produced, the marginal external cost of electricity equals the marginal private cost of production. To show the market outcome, draw the following four items on the graph: 1. Draw a point to show the marginal social cost when the utility produces 500 kilowatts per day. Label it 1. 2. Draw the marginal social cost curve. Label it MSC . 3. Draw a point to show the electricity produced and its marginal social cost. Label it 2. 4. Draw a shape to show the deadweight loss created. Label it DWL . >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question.
The equations below represent the demand and supply curves for annual gym memberships in a city. qD= 500 − 2p, qS=0.5p − 50 Because physical activity leads to better health, the city estimates that each annual gym membership saves $30 of public spending on healthcare per year (a positive externality). a. In a graph, show the market and the socially optimal equilibria for annual gym memberships in this city. Does the market equilibrium result in under- or over-consumption of memberships? What is the deadweight loss associated with the market failure in this situation? b. Would you recommend this city to implement a subsidy (a negative Pigouvian tax) to correct this market failure? If so, how much would be the subsidy per unit? What would be the effects of your proposed policy on the quantity, price, and aggregate welfare?
