Consider the market for first-aid training classes. Market demand is given by P = 600 - Q. Market supply is given by P = Q. Individuals who have received first-aid training are very helpful in some urgent situations which is captured in a positive spillover, or externality, equal to Q/3. This is thus an external benefit related to the consumption of first-aid training. What is the deadweight loss if the externality is not dealt with? [Round your answer to 2 decimal places when needed]

The market for pens in Howards is perfectly competitive with no externalities. Market demand is given by Q=165-P. Market Supply is given by Q=P-16.What is total Surplus in this market?
The cost (supply) of each "unit" of NPR (National Public Radio) is P=9. Derek's valuation for each unit of NPR (demand) is given by Pp=20-2Q, and Kim's valuation is given by Pk=10-Q. The social valuation of NPR is Ps= Q. The socially optimal amount of NPR is units. Without intervention, the private market would lead to an 수 of NPR. Suppose the government decides to subsidize NPR in order to achieve the socially optimal amount of NPR. The total demand function is Qr= The appropriate subsidy is $ (include 2 decimals) per unit of NPR
Suppose a positive externality is associated with college enrollment. Assume that college instruction is sold in a competitive market and that the marginal social cost of providing it increases with enrollment. Show how a corrective subsidy to college students will increase the market price of instruction. Show the net gain in well-being possible from the subsidy and the amount of tax revenue required to finance its costs on your graph. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

2. Given the demand function of motorcycle: Q = 500 – 100P where Q is total quantity demanded (unit: 10,000) and P is daily price (in unit of US$). (1) If the current daily price is US$1.0, please find the total quantity demanded. (2) If the external costs of motorcycle ($2) are all internalized, what would be the total quantity demanded? (3) Please also discuss impacts of this internalization policy on supply, demand and public infrastructures.
Let Q be the quantity of natural gas in tons from fracking. Assume fracking imposes a negative externality of $24 per ton. The private demand for natural gas from fracking is P = 200 - 4Q while the private supply curve is P = 20 + 2Q. If the government imposes a $24 tax per ton of natural gas from fracking, what is the change in the total surplus from before to after the imposition of the tax? O -$672. O $48. O $672. -$48.
One possible way to solve a negative externality problem is to increase interest rates place a subsidy on production. limit immigration place a tax on production
Suppose the production of widgets causes a negative externality of $12 per unit. The current market price is $20 and market quantity is 35 units. What should be the correct Pigovian tax to correct the negative externality?
Suppose that engineers have discovered a new production process for this product which results in a significant positive externality. As a result of the positive externality, for every given output level Marginal Social Value (MSV1) is now higher than consumer’s marginal willingness to pay (also known as the Demand Curve shown as D0 below). Keep in mind that the setting is still that of a monopoly. 1) Please indicate on the graph above, assuming an absence of any government intervention to correct the positive externality and adding any necessary curve(s): The monopoly price P1 and the monopoly quantity Q1 under the condition of the (uncorrected) positive externality. (Also indicate, for comparison purposes, the original monopoly price P0 and monopoly quantity Q0.) The Socially Optimal output, QSO1. The resulting Consumer Surplus CS1, the resulting Producer Surplus PS1, and the size of Dead-Weight Loss DWL1 if there is such a loss. (No need to show the economic profits earned by the…

With this type of externality, in the absence of government intervention, the market equilibrium quantity produced will be than the socially optimal quantity. Which of the following generate the type of externality previously described? Check all that apply. Your roommate Crystal has bought a puppy that barks all day while you are trying to study economics. Tim has planted several trees in his backyard that increase the beauty of the neighborhood, especially during the fall foliage season. A microbiology lab has published its breakthrough in swine flu research. The local airport has doubled the number of runways, causing additional noise pollution for the surrounding residents.
What is an externality? Please give an example of the negative externality. For the flu shot, how does the positive externality shift the marginal benefit curve (the demand curve)? We know that there will be a deadweight loss if consumers purchase the underlying good, which generates positive externality at the market price. Is there a deadweight loss in this case? Why or Why not?
Use appropriate figures to show the deadweight losses associated with a) positive externalities b) negative externalities (in a perfectly competitive goods market)
