Consider a competitive market with an MPB = 22 - q and an MPC = 10 +q. There is a negative production externality of e = q, where q is the level of output in the market, the government can achieve the efficient level of output by: Implementing a per-unit tax of $4 on suppliers. None of the other answers is correct Implementing a per-unit tax of $10 on suppliers. Implementing a per-unit tax of $6 on suppliers. Implementing a per-unit tax of $8 on suppliers.

The restaurant industry develops an exciting new technology, a robot that quickly prepares food in half the usual time of chefs. This increases supply (producers save costs on labor) and demand (consumers find it fun to watch the robot make a meal) such that the price remains constant. However, the robot runs on coal and produces a lot of pollution, generating an external cost on production. How do consumer and producer surplus change as a result of this new technology? Choice 1 of 4:Consumer surplus increases but the change in producer surplus is indeterminateChoice 2 of 4:Producer surplus increases but the change in consumer surplus is indeterminateChoice 3 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus increaseChoice 4 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus decrease

Finding an Efficient Solution, Supply: P = 10.0 + 0.1Q; Demand: P = 50.0 − 0.125Q. Let Marginal External Cost (MEC) = 0.05Q. Solve for Q and P
The demand and supply of ethanol are given by QD = 8,000 – 2,000P and QS = 1,000P – 1,000, where P is price per gallon and Q measures gallons per minute. Suppose the government subsidizes ethanol at $0.30 a gallon that the producer pays. What does the subsidy cost the government? After the subsidy, what is the producer surplus? After the subsidy, what is the consumer surplus? After the subsidy, what is the deadweight loss?
