A Pulp and Paper mill in Port Alberni releases pollution into nearby wetlands, and the associated health and ecological damages are not considered in the private market because the mill owns the rights to the wetlands. The marginal benefits and are given by the following functions: Marginal Private Benefit = 800 - 0.5Q Marginal Private Cost = 20+0.3Q Marginal External Benefit = 0 Marginal External Cost = 0.4Q A private citizens group is negotiating with the Port Alberni Paper mill to produce less output. For the 800th unit of output, determine the range within which a payment would be acceptable to both parties

Two firms are covered by a tradable permit system. Firm one has a marginal abatement cost given by MAC1 = 8 - E1 and firm two has a marginal abatement cost given by MAC2 = 8 - E2, where MAC is measured in dollars/ton and E in tons/hour. If each firm is given permits for 3 tons/hour of pollution and they are allowed to trade, what will the permit price (in $/ton) be?

The graph below illustrates the private costs and benefits of producing Trísenian, a new miracle drug. a. Draw the MSB and MSC curves on the graph below, assuming that the external benefits are estimated at $90 per unit and the external cost at $30 per unit.

The demand for cigarettes is given by P 400 0.2Q. Cigarettes are manufactured at a constant marginal cost of 50 and sold in a competitive market. What is the quantity of cigarettes sold in equilibrium? Qprivate = 1750 Price 500 450- 400- 350- 300- 250- 200- 150- 100 If cigarettes generate a marginal external cost of MEC = 0.05Q, what is the socially optimal level of cigarettes? QSocially optimal 1400 Using Figure 1 on the right that already shows the market demand curve to illustrate the private and social MC curves. Also, point out the private market quantity, the socially optimal quantity, and the social welfare cost. 1) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the private marginal cost curve. Label this curve as 'MC'. 2) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the social marginal cost curve. Label this curve as 'MSC'. (Hint: to plot this correctly you may first want to plot the socially optimal point 'B' in step 4 below) 3) Using the point drawing tool, illustrate the point that…

Suppose that a local airport is near a residential neighborhood. To land at this airport, an airliner must pay $51. To soundproof the local homes, so residents do not hear airplanes all hours of the day, residents must pay $28. 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? What is the social cost of a plane landing at the airport? F11 F12 F5 F6 F8 F9 F10 F7 F2 F3 F4 prt s
Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC_1 = 12-2E_1 MAC_2=9-E_2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from aggregate emissions from the two firms (E_Agg) is: MED = E_Agg. Total external damages at the socially efficient level of aggregate emissions is Answer: 1
it is microeconomics If a firm does not pay for an external cost, who does? Why might there be a deadweight loss in a positive externality situation, when the amount bought and sold in the market is below the market optimal equilibrium amount? Why might private firms not want to produce certain types of goods? Start a New Thread
2) Suppose the demand curve for a rubber-based product is Q_D=225-0.5P, and the supply curve is Q_S=0.5P-15. If the external cost of the suit from the waste produced by the factory producing the item is MEC-Q, calculate: (a) Competitive price and quantity when there is no control over the waste disposal of the factory. (b) Price and quantity at the socially optimal level.
