Airports generate many negative externalities including noise, air and water pollution, traffic and habitat loss. On the other hand, airports generate many economic benefits to local economies and provide a useful form of transport for residents of the areas where they are built.

Suppose the demand for a product is P = 400 - 0.25 Q and the supply of the product is P = 100 +0.75 P where Q is output and P is price. Suppose also that the marginal external cost (MEC) from production is constant and equal to 50$ per unit. What is the competitive (private) efficient level of output? What is the socially efficient level of output?
Large taxes on energy companies whose production activities cause environmental damage. How does this negative externality affect the allocation of resources? List three things. Include pigovian taxes and marginal costs.
Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead, and then answer the questions that follow. The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit. Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized…

1. XYZ Enterprises Company has a cost function represented by TC = 400 + Q06 and it faces a perfectly competitive price of $ 20 for its output. Required: Calculate the company's competitive output level. Given that the company is exerting a negative externality and its total social cost of Production is estimated to be TSC = Q0.4. If market price remains the same at $ 20, calculate the socially optimal level of production for ABC Ltd Company. If the government imposes an excise tax to bring about optimal level of production, calculate the level of tax to be imposed in such a case How much tax revenue would the government raise in this situation from this Company? 2. The government desires to construct a bypass road to ease congestion in that area. It conducts a survey that entailed three groups of individuals and came up with three demand equations as given below: Groupl: D1=20-0.2P1 Group2: D2= 35 - 0.5P2 Group3: D3=40-0.8P3Where D is the…
Lecture: Externality - Pigou8. All-Leather is a tanning company located on Lake Michigan in Chicago. Its total cost functionis C(QA) = 125 + 8QA + 5QA2, where QA is leather production per week in thousands of pounds.a) If leather sells for $408 per thousand pounds, how much leather will All-Leather produce?How much profit does All-leather earn?Enjoy is a beverage company located on Lake Michigan near All-Leather in Chicago. Enjoy’sproduction of beverages is negatively affected by water pollution from All-Leather’s productionof leather. Enjoy’s total cost function to produce beverages isC(QE) = 10QE +3QE2 + 3QA2where QE is Enjoy’s weekly production of beverages, in thousandsof gallons and, as above, QA is All-Leather’s weekly production of leather.b) Is this an example of a pecuniary externality or a real externality? Explain.c) What is the extra cost to Enjoy from an additional thousand tons of leather production by AllLeather (i.e., the external marginal cost of an extra unit of QA…

What is the Socially Optimal Level of Z(Zopt)? Answer: From 0-2 MSB = [(3- Z)+(4- 2Z) + (11- Z)] = [(3+ 4+ 11)-(Z+2Z+Z)] = 18-4Z From 2-3 MSB=(3- Z) + (11- Z) = [(3 + 11)-(Z+Z)] = 14-2Z From 3-10-MSB = 11 - Z @11MSB=0
